They say that cheese is milk's leap towards immortality. What that tells us about the cheese bra, I do not know. I don't really know how to unpack this, but considering it exists at the intersection of food and sports, I feel a duty to share it. If this Packers fan has young children, I hope they have a psychiatrist on retainer. The cheese bra can be yours for a nickel shy of thirty dollars, plus shipping and handling. Just the thing to wear to a viewing of a painstakingly restored VHS of SB XXXI highlights, I bet. How fortunate New Englanders are to live in a land where the cheese is good enough to eat, rather than fit only for novelty purposes. You could even say that New England cheeses are fit for champions. As an artifact, the cheese bra seems innately tied to the Frozen Tundra, betraying as it does a very architectural notion of the foundation garment. In Miami, I bet this would be 1 Kraft single cut into 2 triangles, and connected with string cheese. Curiously enough, the image reached me by way of a short film by Fiona Maazel, former managing editor of the Paris Review. "Film" might be stretching it, but imagine if Gorey had lived to see Power Point, and he was compelled to make a presentation about cheese.
I love how she's accessorized the cheese bra--especially with the big gold chain.

Dude, I read this post as a sly bit of propaganda positing the New England cheeses as somehow superior to the Wisconsin cheese. Wha-? Cheese pret a porter is cheese pret a manger ... every Wisconsin gal knows.
In other words: DON'T FUCK WITH THE DAIRY STATE!

CAAF- No one in New England has time to fuck with the Dairy State, because we are too busy constructing cabinets to hold memorabilia from Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII, and XXXIX. And when we get done building vitrines for all those trophies, we like something along the lines of this. I'm sure that the Stella line is fine for Packerfans. But for champions, Champion Cheeses are more appropriate.

Damn - followed some of those cheese links, and learned that you can get cheese curds from Vermont! Oh happy day. Now if we can get some artisanal bratwurst and frozen custard going . . .

But the Badgers will always have the Dells, and no one can take that away from them, even if they wanted to.

I'm sensing a dairy motif...

Is that cheese a little outdated?
