Two people. A mysterious substance. Tension so thick you could cut it with a piece of cheddar -- a really sharp piece of cheddar. It all adds up to a hearty stew of fear, loathing, and dairy products called The Birth of Cheese, written by kabbalist glass-bender and underground phenomenon Jolene Phelps. Watch the skies, -CV.

sadistic cheese lovers unite. the french would be proud. oh, and allow me to elucidate:

Most authorities consider that cheese was first made in the Middle East. The earliest type was a form of sour milk which came into being when it was discovered that domesticated animals could be milked. A legendary story has it that cheese was 'discovered' by an unknown Arab nomad. He is said to have filled a saddlebag with milk to sustain him on a journey across the desert by horse. After several hours riding he stopped to quench his thirst, only to find that the milk had separated into a pale watery liquid and solid white lumps. Because the saddlebag, which was made from the stomach of a young animal, contained a coagulating enzyme known as rennin, the milk had been effectively separated into curds and whey by the combination of the rennin, the hot sun and the galloping motions of the horse. The nomad, unconcerned with technical details, found the whey drinkable and the curds edible. Cheese was known to the ancient Sumerians four thousand years before the birth of Christ. The ancient Greeks credited Aristaeus, a son of Apollo and Cyrene, with its discovery; it is mentioned in the Old Testament.

"Like a man made after supper of a CHEESE-paring: when a’ was naked, he was, for all the world, like a forked radish, with a head fantastically carved upon it with a knife."
---William Shakespeare (1564–1616), King Henry IV. Part II. Act iii. Sc. 2.

Okay... I think I get it, but I'm just wonderin'...why?

I think it's about the death of kindness.
Or the danger of cheese.

Or maybe the deadly danger of the death of cheese-kindness.

Ah!
Cheese-kindness!
How we mourn thee!
