Indeed. Or hiking it up to Davey Byrne's and indulging oneself in the
feety flavor of a green cheese and mustard sandwich. (Or perhaps only
eyeing it with great suspicion, as only the very greatest Joyce fans
will take an actual bite out of the sandwich.)

And this, kids, is Evil Tim. Some of you may not know him, as he tends
to keep this darker side well-hidden. But alas, he comes out every time
one mentions the word "Wisconsin". No help for it, I'm afraid.

Hey, hey. Watch it with the name calling. I'm a Chicagoan -- I just
live in Cheeseland.
Tra la,
Cecilia.
(And honesty compels me to admit that I swiped the "Tra la" signoff from
our own Paul Kennedy.)
ObSal: I went looking for instances of cheese in Salinger stories and
found nary a one. Mayonnaise, yes. And the things are just lousy with
chicken. But no cheese. Perhaps all that time in Wisconsin put him off
the stuff. (Nah.)
