First off, the cheese commends exsulis on his use of the cheeselandia national flag.
Secondly, the cheese is getting rid of a bunch of old PC games...if anyone wants them, the cheese suggests they come by his house tomorrow (or today, Wednesday, since it's now after midnight) to peruse the titles, or else they're all going to the salvation army on Thursday.

Happy Birthday Star Wars
I don't know what else I can say but Happy Birthday Star Wars and thank you for the years of entertainment.
With the Cheese's permission, I would like to declare today to be a state holiday in the mighty kingdom of Cheeselandia. In celebration of the day, I would urge each citizen of this great land to watch at least one of the star wars movies today. If not that, then at least take the time to watch these brilliant parodies:

LFC
Tomorrow, at around 11:30 AM (Pacific) the valiant club from Liverpool will, for the second time in three years, meet AC Milan in the European Champions League final. The cheese does not have to remind his faithful citizens that, last time, the Reds overcame a three goal half-time deficit to mark one of the most memorable comebacks in European history.
Even though LFC only managed a third place in the Premier League this season, this is a much better, and more importantly, deeper Liverpool squad then the one Rafa Benitez fielded two years ago. Three legitimate strike threats, in Crouch, Kuyt and Bellamy, are on the Reds roster, along with more than one (Harry Kewell) actual winger. The Reds defense hasn't been as dominant this term, but Pepe Reina is a much more stable presence between the sticks than Jerzy Dudek ever was. In part, the team LFC runs out will depend on whether or not Sissoko and Zenden are fit. Even still, the match may come down to the mid-field show down between our own wonder captain Steven Gerrard, and Milan's ridiculously dangerous Kaka.
Milan put in a real beat down on Man U in the semi's, so Liverpool will have to be focused. But the Reds have already topped Barcelona and Chelsea in this year's tournament, and something about these big European nights seem to bring the best out in the lads.
So join the cheese, won't you faithful citizens, and give your support to Liverpool.

Cell phones are of the Devil
Okay, maybe not so much but mine has finally melted down. After getting off the phone with a friend it decided to just go blank. Well it has been on for a while I'll just turn it off, and on again. Nope, still the white screen of death. Hmm, that didn't work so now its time to pull the battery, and see if that fixes the problem. Wow its 12/31/1999 on the cover, and the white screen of death. Maybe the store can help me out. Sorry, we need to contact an authorized agent for the plan so your out of luck since its after hours. :( Damn you phone, and all I want is the address book stored on you!!!

Jerry Falwell: Dead
Can’t say as the cheese is particularly sad, really. In the grand scheme of things, death is sad, sure. And there are, no doubt, family members and what not who are terribly saddened by the death of Falwell, but...well...this is the guy who said shit like...
(re: 9/11 attacks) "...throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad...I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America...I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen."
Really? Huh...cause the cheese thought that it mostly came out of our “black ops” dealing with Mid-east countries in the 80’s (Iran, Afghanistan, etc.) and that we basically treated those people like our bitches and broke ALL of our promises to them
and...
"The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews”
Well, the cheese isn’t a member of the ACLU, but the last time he checked, they didn’t advocate the rounding up and systematic execution of all Christians, but maybe they recently put something on their website about it...
oh, and don’t forget...
“If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being”
Hmm...someone should pull Ghandi out of his grave and let him know...
Although, I have to disagree with Alan’s assertion that he should die twice...once seems sufficient for most everyone.

Vegan couple sentenced to life over baby's death
Well they finally got sentenced for this.
_______________________________________________________________
ATLANTA - A vegan couple were sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for the death of their malnourished 6-week-old baby boy, who was fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice.
Superior Court Judge L.A. McConnell imposed the mandatory sentences on Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31. Their son, Crown Shakur, weighed just 3 1/2 pounds when he died of starvation on April 25, 2004.
The couple were found guilty May 2 of malice murder, felony murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children. A jury deliberated about seven hours before returning the guilty verdicts.
Defense lawyers said the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to the lifestyle of vegans, who typically use no animal products. They said Sanders and Thomas did not realize the baby, who was born at home, was in danger until minutes before he died.
But prosecutors said the couple intentionally neglected their child and refused to take him to the doctor even as the baby’s body wasted away.
“No matter how many times they want to say, ‘We’re vegans, we’re vegetarians,’ that’s not the issue in this case,” said prosecutor Chuck Boring. “The child died because he was not fed. Period.”
Although the life sentences were automatic, Sanders and Thomas begged for leniency before sentencing. Sanders urged the judge to look past his “perception” of the couple.
“I loved my son — and I did not starve him,” she said.
When the judge told the defendants they could ask for a new trial, Thomas hung his head low.
“I’m dying every day in there,” he said, “and that could take three years.”
__________________________________________________________________________
The part that annoys me is where people are focusing on the Vegan lifestyle of the couple which isn't a issue in my mind as much as the shear stupidity of the couple.

To Whom It May Concern:
Due to the increased e-mails, as well as the intrusions into our proprietary

simply trying to finish our newest computer game software on time, and yet
we continue to be inundated with strange queries and comments regarding
something called "N.B.E.s" and someone known as "Agent X." We have no idea
to whom or to what these terms refer.
As a result of this continuing drain on our resources, we're being forced to
shut down our e-mail system for the foreseeable future. Any e-mail sent to
us will bounce back. In addition, we're freezing our internal systems until
we can eliminate the "hackers" out there who think it's funny to screw

If we can complete our work, we think you'll be very satisfied with the
result. Thanks for your patience.

WTF??????
File this news story under, "What the fuck is wrong with people?"
I saw this story on Mojo's newswire and I had to post it here and vent.
I understand being vegan, but I thought part of the point was not taking from animals "without permission." You would think that it would be okay to nurse because the mother is freely giving the milk. I would even go so far as to say that vegans might be okay with drinking human milk since it wasn't acquired through exploitation of the giver. Failing all that, you would think that if they are choosing to live a strict vegan lifestyle and raise their child in that lifestyle, then they would do a little research on how to do it safely. Plus you would think they would have thought something was wrong when their baby weighed less than half the average BIRTH weight. I don't have any kids but this just tears at me. It really makes one want to force all would be parents into to parenting classes with some sort of licensing exam at the end of it.

This Buckhead newborn didn't stand a chance.
By the time he saw a doctor, the 6-week-old, born at home, was dead. Fed a diet consisting largely of soy milk and apple juice by his vegan parents, the baby boy weighed just 3 1/2 pounds.
Fulton prosecutors say it's a chilling case of murder by starvation, a painful and prolonged death. Attorneys representing parents Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31, told jurors the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to their vegan lifestyle. Vegans typically live free of animal products.
"They're not vegans, they're baby killers," Fulton prosecutor Mike Carlson told the jury Tuesday during his closing arguments."Think about how long they had to listen to his screams and hollers."
Thomas hung his head and appeared to nearly collapse on the defense table during
closing arguments, while Sanders sat next to him listening intently. The couple's attorneys claim the parents didn't realize their baby, named Crown, was in danger until minutes before he died.Jurors began deliberations Tuesday. Prosecutors urged jurors to convict the parents of murder, which carries an automatic life sentence in prison. Defense lawyers told jurors the death is at most a case of involuntary manslaughter, reckless conduct that results in an unintentional death, punishable by up to one year in jail.

Because one blog isn't enough
The cheese' alter ego, james, has begun posting to a blog. Entirely unlike the going's on here in cheeselandia, this blog can be found at here. May be of only mild interest to most of you faithful citizens, since very few of you have children, but you might want to head over there at some point to support a brotha!
