I hanker for a hunk o' cheese.

[redqueen]

What is that from?

And why is it in my head?

:crazy:

[Hobarticus]

A slab, a slice, a chunk-a...

Old dairy council commercial?

Or else those "Time for Timer" cartoons?

[redqueen]

I don't have the slightest idea.

I remebmer a blob of a yellow guy singing it... with a cane and a top hat... and a few of the other lyrics, but that's about it.

[Worst Username Ever]

18. That's him. He was a wedge of yellow cheese.

1. Saturday morning cartoons

Child of the 80's, are we?

[redqueen]

4. Yes we are.

:D

[GreenArrow]

19. that thing was around in the mid-seventies

I remember it from then. My wife and I still sing it from time to time, at appropriately cheezy moments.

[shaolinmonkey]

2. Saturday morning cartoon nutrition bumper.

Touting cheese as a healthy snack.

I can't speak for your head.

"I hanker for a hunk a...
a slab or slice or chunka...
I hanker for a hunka cheese...yaaaaaaahoooooooooo!!"

[redqueen]

6. So it was a bumper, then...

and not an actual cartoon. OK... thanks. :)

[pagerbear]

3. Pretty soon someone will post

...the Monty Python cheese shop skit script.

[redqueen]

8. You can never have too much Python.

:7

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. It was that talking fat gloubule on Saturday morning cartoons.

A "Wagon Wheel" :bounce:

[redqueen]

9. I remember the fat globule part....

but not where I saw it.

Thanks. :)

7. Time for Timer:

"Well, here's orange juice and milk and toast just waiting to be taken,
And bless my soul right here's a bowl with one cold piece of steak in,
A hardboilde egg a chicken leg or cheese or luncheon meat,
or a peanut butter sandwich any time of day's a treat,
So to keep your mom from grumblin,
And stop that stomach rumblin',
And to keep your legs from stumblin' while you play,
You've gotta eat some kind of breakfast everyday."


Yeah, cold steak or a piece of cheese for breakfast. Thanks for the good nutritional advise, "Timer". And you lived to be how old? 40?

[redqueen]

10. Hey don't knock cheese.

Just have a few glasses of wine, and you're good. :9

[CanuckAmok]

14. I knew it...you're one of the treasonous French bastards, aren't you?!

n/t

[redqueen]

16. No

but I like them. :9

[CanuckAmok]

20. "No", or "Non"?!

I'm on to vous, rougequeen.

[redqueen]

25. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?

Sorry, that's all I know.

Oh... and respondez, sil vous plais... yeah, I think that's it.

[plcdude]

29. mais oui

mon cher

[Hobarticus]

12. Learned how to make kick-ass popsicles in my ice cube tray, though.

Take it easy on Timer.

[Worst Username Ever]

21. Do you recall a homemade toy called a "come back here?"

It consisted of a cofee can with some rubber bands, and was part of some crafts thing they would put on during commercials. Always wanted to make one.

[Hobarticus]

33. No! Hilarious!

Gotta make one, now.

[eyesroll]

11. It's all in your head, redqueen.

You just want some cheese.


;-)

[redqueen]

13. And cheese I shall have!

What wine goes with pepperjack?

[Beware the Beast Man]

15. MD 20/20.

Are you a cheap date? :bounce:

[redqueen]

17. Ew!

Yes, I'm a cheap date, but my taste isn't that bad.

[plcdude]

22. Chianti

I think would be good

[redqueen]

26. Classico?

That's a maybe... might have to put that off till payday.

[plcdude]

28. lately

I have been into Redwood Creek wines. I recommend them and they are not too expensive.

[eyesroll]

24. Try making sangria.

:shrug:

[redqueen]

31. Hmmmmm

That sounds interesting, actually.

[RubyDuby in GA]

23. Cheese glorious cheese

makes everything better.......

I sing this to my dog and he immediately goes to the fridge. My Rustybusty loves his cheese.

[redqueen]

27. Anyone who doesn't love cheese

is automatically suspect, in my book.

[flygal]

30. I have never gotten the "don't drown your food" one...

out of my head. "with mayonaise or mustard or gooo"....

[redqueen]

32. I remember that one, too.

Stupid idea. I love drowning my food.

[CanuckAmok]

34. Do you remember "Timer" had a whole half-hour show on the...

...ABC Afterschool Special, about how babies were made?

I bet he'd not be able to do that these days, even if he hadn't died of cholesterol poisoning at age 40.

[redqueen]

37. No!

LOL... I'm shocked they did an afterschool special on that subject... wow!

[CanuckAmok]

40. Yes!

And, in retrospect, methingkst the stock footage (cartoon stomachs and esophagi) used in the food bumpers was the same footage used to illustrate the womb.

Ewwww...there's a cold piece of steak in the womb!

[Kat45]

35. I hanker for a hunk-a hunk-a burning love....

:D

[redqueen]

38. hehe... Always!

:P

[no name no slogan]

36. A snack that is a winner, and yet won't spoil my dinner? (n/t)

[redqueen]

39. Maybe!

I don't remember all the words, but now the song's back in my head yet again...

mmmmmmmm cheeeeeeeese
