[euphemism] you, Theoryland!

[Crispin's Crispian]

Our company had a small Thanksgiving luncheon just this afternoon, and I came in late due to having to pick up my daughter from school.

When I arrived, they had apparently been discussing sandwiches (turkey, cheese, etc.), and it turns out my boss maintains very strict guidelines about how to make...yes...grilled cheese. His wife sent him a photo of one she'd made, and it was all burnt and gross, and he was discussing it with the group. Everyone had their own ideas about how to make grilled cheese, which was difficult enough for me.

But then...THEN...it was suggested that we have a grilled cheese contest! Yes, a contest, in the office, at our next sales meeting. Everyone will bring their recipe and we'll have taste tests.

At the point where the rules of the contest were starting to be defined, it became so ridiculous for me that was beyond amusing. That's how I managed not to LOL the entire time. I kept looking around for some sign of secret amusement, but apparently the meme hasn't reached that far yet. It will shortly, as I just sent the "letter" to one of my colleagues.

I may just have to take that day off.

[Birgitte]

LMAO


Wow! I commend your ability NOT to laugh out loud the entire time.

[JSUCamel]

I may just have to take that day off.

Grilled cheese. The gift that keeps on giving.

Also, I'm curious. What were the rules and guidelines for the contest?

[Zanguini]

An office parties involving grilled cheese... I will be looking for employment in a year or so... maybe something to look into .

[Crispin's Crispian]

Grilled cheese. The gift that keeps on giving.

Also, I'm curious. What were the rules and guidelines for the contest?

For example, the first round is only pure grilled cheese. No ham, tuna, paninis, etc. The second round is where we can go to town and add embellishments.

Also, to preserve flavor, they have to be eaten immediately after they're made. A grilled cheese eaten more than five minutes later is just no good.

[Gilshalos Sedai]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I couldn't even make it through your post without giggling hysterically. I have to give you rep for making it through a whole lunch.

[SauceyBlueConfetti]

I...
just..
there are...
no words...

Tell me about it ;)

[tworiverswoman]

Rep to both of you, if I can. :)

[Birgitte]

As much fun as it is, I think my vote for Camel's finest hour is summed up by one word:

Lighthounds

[DahLliA]

hahahaha

I would so have broken down if I was in that situation :D

[Crispin's Crispian]

I'm really glad no one I work with is on TL...or had read that letter, because I would have lost it. Imagine trying your hardest not to laugh, and then looking over and seeing someone else sharing the joke.

[Ivhon]

Wait...wouldn't grilled cheese parties at work be grounds for a major lawsuit?

Edit: I love how the tags for this thread are cheese, grilled. Removing the euphamism would leave tags as "jobs, blow"

[Davian93]

We just had a chili cookoff at work to "build morale"...not nearly as fun as a Grilled Cheese contest though.

[ShadowbaneX]

at mine we just got to play laser tag on friday.

[Ishara]

Really? Huh. I make mine last. :devil

Poor SDog. I would have had to leave. Although, you may be right, not having someone to share the joke makes it less funny over time. Hopefully your friend isn't standing too close to you during the next discussion though. ROFL.

[Zanguini]

I dont know about Chili Dav... I mean... I think chili is good... but there are some people who think chili is completely disgusting... I believe its all in who you have helping you and the preparation you do before you start to make chili... Some people have extra large pots who, unless you are with someone who eats chili all the time, will find it difficult even to find someone to eat chili with. Then again there are some people, mainly girls who are overly sensitive to uh... spices and such a larger pot would interfere with their ability to enjoy chili. I suppose it has to do more with how much you enjoy experimenting with new foods, and how open minded your helper is.

[Anaiya Sedai]

LMAO, I don't know how you managed to get through that without laughing, I was laughing hysterically about half way through your post. :D :D :D

Edit: You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Crispin's Crispian again. :D

[Zaela Sedai]

Theres times i buy grilled cheese on purpose just to make a couple of my guy friends at work feel so awkward at lunch. They know the joke....its hysterical.

Have rep! :D

LOL. I realised yesterday that I've been cooking grilled cheese for lunch almost every day for about two weeks.. I just didn't think that way about it until I asked my brother-in-law if I could have a few slices of his bread to make some. The realisation was followed by hysterical laughter, and a very confused BIL asking my other half why I was laughing about grilled cheese, only to have Jay laughing hysterically, too.
Maybe I'll make pizza for lunch today instead...

[Frenzy]

That is beyond awesome, SDog. Truly awesome.

Was there a euphamism for the opposite gender's rendition of the Grilled Cheese Sandwich? Or is it an equal opportunity innuendo?

[ShadowbaneX]

Tuna Sandwich

[Gilshalos Sedai]

Thought it was a club?

[WinespringBrother]

in my corner of the office, we refer to the rats/hall monitors that wander around the call center trying to catch people browsing the web or otherwise get folks in trouble as "cheese-eaters"...:p

[Ishara]

Eww SBX.

It was clearly a clubhouse.

[ShadowbaneX]

Nah, Tuna makes much more sense. You can even get variants like Tuna Salad

[Gilshalos Sedai]

Uh... just so's you know.... women don't smell like that unless they're ... unclean. Referring to that is .... gross.

[Ishara]

Totally gross.

A club sandwich is all about layers of tasty goodness.

[SauceyBlueConfetti]

Personally I thought of it as oysters. Something enjoyed once in a while, a little difficult to maneuver and acts as an aphrodisiac. And once it gets opened up, a girl feels like she was given a pearl ;)

Pearls indeed. But not that difficult to maneuver. Clubs imply toothpicks, though...which could be interesting, but also a little frightening.

[JSUCamel]

Personally, I think grilled cheese works fine both ways. If it ain't broke...

Once in a while eh? :p

[SauceyBlueConfetti]

I wrote three (ok, now four) responses to you Ish, and laughingly deleted each one of them in turn as too much information was being shared.

Heh.


Life is a buffet. I like buffets. I will leave it at that. :D

[Zaela Sedai]

Buffets rock... a little bit of everything... alot of every thing, a lot of one thing... SO MANY options!!
