sounds like that Pastis guy is using his job to get him another beer and cheese freebie to sample how his new toon is going along. Was the doofus never fed at home? Should have just pinched his ravenous head off, when they could’ve.
All that cheesy goodness is something you can fondue; all that philosophy, maybe you fondon’t. But the beer is bedrock truth! We should all hops to it.
It might just be me, but back in my beer-drinking days I didn’t like to eat anything when I was drinking- no pizza, no peanuts, nothing. I don’t know why, but for me the combo of beer and food just didn’t taste right.
Sounds like the old saying “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you die.” And if you only eat cheese and drink beer, you are helping the odds of dying.
Happiness begins with you. You have to choose to be happy (some just have a harder time and may need to be medicated). Stop watching the news would be a good thing also
Cheese and beer does not bring happiness to me. Other foods and beverages do, but they also require more weight loss efforts. Hugs and caresses from my GF is the best source of happiness.
No, no, no! Foolish * on the Hill, you need more. You’ve just started gathering the ingredients for German Cheddar beer soup. Now you need to finish making the soup. AND SOFT PRETZELS! Gotta dip soft pretzels in the soup. German Cheddar beer soup and soft pretzels are the secret.
cheese is created by unhappiness for cows, though… keeping cows constantly pregnant and lactating but taking their babies away at birth and disposing of them so that humans can have the milk… pretty messed up. Doesn’t seem like misery could be the actual key to happiness…

Hmm. Both of them use microorganisms to transform one form of food into something better. What does it all mean?

That wise ass isn’t so wise. The cheese should be sharp cheddar melted on nachos.

I’d recommend ice cream, this time of year, for those of us who don’t care for beer.
