I've Been Lured Here...

[Will Couper]

...With talk of cheese. Yes. Cheese. It's all Munin's doing.

Hello, I'm Will. Bastion of originality my user name is also my real name.

I'm thirty and I'm from Scotland. I'm not much of a goth, preferring Strapping Young Lad over VNV Nation and suchlike, but I'll hang around and probably talk a lot of rubbish.

This place reminds me of Alternative Nation...how odd.

And again: Hello!

Will

Riiiiiight! *rolls up sleeves*

I'll do some of it:

Current location? Greenock, Scotland.

Where from? As above.

Gender? Male.

Work? Er...

School? They don't let me in school anymore. Haven't done for the past thirteen years or so. It's all very confusing.

How Did You Find DGN? It was the luring. The luring!

Other Stuff? I'm also a member of the ever-sarcastic Alternative Nation, a Glasgow-based forum that also runs club nights.

There, I think that sums it up.

Welcome, I have no cheese but I have a plate of cookies. There's much talk over whether or not Jadnifer can have any and Phee absolutly cannot have one. But grab your favorite flavor or two and continue posting.

[Destroit]

YAY!

Hi, Will!

You'll enjoy the place, these are some great peoples.

Bah! Don't let her fool you!

J/K We're angelic.

Holy crap, you're from Scotland, that's badass. I have the coolest idea you should go to Whales and find our member Head Wreck, have a beer with him, take some pictures and post them on here.

We'd then be able to say we had a DGN night in Europe .

Hi and welcome

The Cheese Shop by Monty Python

(a customer walks in the door)

Owner: Morning sir.

Customer: Morning.

Customer: Uhm, I was sitting in the public library on Thurmond Street just now, skimming through Rogue Herrys by Horace Walpole, when I uhm suddenly came over all peckish.

Owner: Peckish, sir?

Customer: Esuriant.

Owner: Eh?

Customer: 'Ee, ah wor 'ungry-like!

Owner: Ah, hungry!

Customer: In a nutshell. So I thought to myself, "a little fermented curd will do the trick," so, I curtailed my Walpoling activities, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!

Owner: Come again?

Customer: I want to buy some cheese.

Owner: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the music!

Customer: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse!

Owner: Sorry?

Customer: ' Ah like a nice dance, 'yer forced too!

Owner: Anyway... who said that?

Customer: Now my good man.. some cheese please?

Owner: (lustily) Certainly, sir. What would you like?

Customer: Well, eh, how about a little Red Leicester.

Owner: I'm, afraid we're fresh out of Red Leicester, sir.

Customer: Never mind, how are you on Tilsit?

Owner: Never at the end of the week, sir, always get it fresh first thing on Monday.

Customer: Tish tish. No matter, uhmmm well, four ounces of Caerphilly, if you please stout yeoman.

Owner: Ah! Well, it's beeeen on order, for two weeks sir. Was expecting it this morning.

Customer: Yess... It' not my day, is it? Aah, Bel Paese?

Owner: Sorry.

Customer: Red Windsor?

Owner: Normally, sir, yes. But, today the van broke down.

Customer: Ah. Stilton?

Owner: Sorry.

Customer: Gruyere? Emmenthal?

Owner: No.

Customer: Any Norwegian Jarlsberger ?

Owner: No.

Customer: Brie, Roquefort, Pomme le Veque, Port Salou, Savoyard, Saint -Paulin, Carre de l'Eest, Boursin, Bresse Bleu?

Owner: No.

Customer: Camembert, perhaps?

Owner: Ah! We do have Camembert, sir.

Customer: (suprised) You do! Excellent.

Owner: Yes sir. It's..ah,.....it's a bit runny sir.

Customer: Oh, I like it runny.

Owner: Well, as a matter of fact it's very runny, sir.

Customer: No matter. Fetch hither the frommage de la Belle France!

Owner: I...think it's a bit runnier than you'll like it, sir.

Customer: I don't care how excremently runny it is. Hand it over with all speed.

Owner: Oooooooooohhh........! (pause)

Customer: What ?

Owner: The cat's eaten it.

Customer: (pause) Has he.

Owner: She, sir.

Customer: (pause) Gouda?

Owner: No.

Customer: Edam?

Owner: No.

Customer: Cathness?

Owner: No.

Customer: Smoked Austrian?

Owner: No.

Customer: Sage Derby?

Customer: You...do *have* some cheese, do you?

Owner: (brightly) Of course, sir. It's a cheese shop, sir. We've got--

Customer: No no... don't tell me. I'm keen to guess.

Owner: Fair enough.

Customer: Wensleydale.

Owner: Yes sir?

Customer: Splendid! Well, I'll have some of that!

Owner: Oh, I'm sorry sir ! I thought you were referring to me, sir. Mister Wensleydale.

Customer: (pause) Greek Feta?

Owner: Uh, not as such.

Customer: Uuh, Gorgonzola?

Owner: No.

Customer: Parmesan,

Owner: No.

Customer: Czechoslovakian sheep's milk cheese?

Owner: No.

Customer: Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?

Owner: Not *today*, sir, no.

Customer: (pause) Well, let's keep it simple.. how about Cheddar?

Owner: Well, I'm afraid we don't get much call for it around here, sir.

Customer: Not much ca-- it's the single most popular cheese in the world!

Owner: Not 'round these parts, sir.

Customer: (slight pause)Pray tell what IS the most popular cheese 'round these parts?

Owner: Illchester, sir.

Customer: Is it.

Owner: Oh, yes, it's staggeringly popular in the manor squire.

Customer: Is it.

Owner: It's our number one best seller, sir!

Customer: I see. Uuh... Illchester, eh?

Owner: Right, sir.

Customer: All right. Okay, I'm game. 'Have you got any?' he asked, expecting the answer 'no'.

Owner: I'll have a look, sir........Ummmmmm ...nnnnnnno.

Customer: It's not much of a cheese shop, really is it?

Owner: Finest in the district!

Customer: (annoyed) And what leads you to that conclusion?

Owner: Well, it's so clean, sir!

Customer: It's certainly uncontaminated by cheese....

Owner: (brightly) You haven't asked me about Limburger, sir.

Customer: Is it worth it?

Owner: Could be....

Customer: Ok...Have you -- Will you SHUT THAT BLOODY dancing up!

Owner: Told you sir....

Customer: (slowly) Have you got any Limburger?

Owner: No.

Customer: That figures. Pretty predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism to have posed the question in the first place. Tell me something: Do you have any cheese at all?

Owner: Yes sir?

Customer: (deliberately) Tell me something, do you have any cheese at all?

Owner: Yes, sir.

Customer: Now, I am going to ask you that question once more and if you say no, I am going to shoot you through the head. Do you have any cheese at all?

(pause)

Owner: No.

(The customer takes out a gun and shoots the owner)

Customer: What a *senseless* waste of human life.
