Tell me about the Red Dragon Cheese thread

Do your own fucking research, you lazy shit.

This is my research.

It's been discussed a million times OP/R2.

It was old DL classic stuff - something that doesn't exist anymore.

I don’t care. Tell me.

Google it mate.

I DON'T KNOW YOU, OP.

It shows up in too many threads and I don’t know how to find the original.

Tell me.

Pay someone to look it up for you.

In a thread, long ago, and far away, there was a 7-Eleven…

Red Dragon cheese is a Welsh Cheddar with wholegrain mustard seeds and Welsh ale, coated in a bright red wax. This gourmet cheese combines the subtle sharpness and depth of natural mustard with the mild, piquant taste notes of the Welsh ale and traditional Cheddar.

Red Dragon is a buttery and spicy cheese with plenty of bite, but is not too hot, not only do the mustard seeds give Red Dragon its marvelous flavor, but also its texture. Red Dragon is aged for 3 months.

The original thread is long gone with some previous version of DL.

My favorite classic thread is Lesbian Potluck Wedding. A rare occasion where everybody fell for an EST. I think the OP even had to break it to us.

It’s a soupluck not a potluck.

This shit again? Really? DL wasn’t all that and never was.

yeah, it was

DL is like everything else, including nyc, London, music, and gay life, r13.

In other words, at any given moment in time, it was always much better at some time in the past.

Dear God ... my smelling salts!

Does anyone still have a link to the "Let's be a Brooklyn Pizza Parlor in 1990"?

Does anyone know Philip at Formaggio Kitchen?

R18, Greg does.

Tell me, dammit!

Was it that the poster couldn't think of the name of the cheese?

See? I’m not the only one asking.

Tell us!

The only old-time threads I remember are the ones from the 90s outing Vin Diesel "he likes bossy butch bottoms" and Kevin Spacey. Some people were upset that they were outed. A few pointed out that Diesel only dated in Europe.

I believe he “preferred” to date in Europe.

OP, show us your pecker & I'll tell you about the age old cheese.

Very well.

[quote] Does anyone know Philip at Formaggio Kitchen?

Yes.

Why do you ask?

Didn't Ginny from Billing choke on it and die?

Because the subject was old memorable threads, Greg.. Have a nice day.

What I remember from the RDC thread is that after sampling it the OP decided he liked it so much he want all of the remaining RDC. But the shopkeeper refused to part with all of it saying another customer might want some, too. The OP challenged and some debate ensued about the hypothetical customer who might want it and the money's the same, etc., etc. Something like that. Sound familiar or am I way off?

Seeing Philip was always a treat when I would go to Formaggio Kitchen, or later, Whole Foods.

Curses, foiled again!

God bless you, r30.

There is still some simple human decency in this world.

I would have been team OOP in that thread, I think. “Someone else might want some” is pretty silly. Unless there was something about the OOP that made him undeserving of so much delicious cheese.

I'm beginning to think DL is losing its institutional memory as we all age and face little cognitive slippages. The people screaming "Google It!" are either too young and get annoyed when the elders talk about the good 'ol days or worse: they're people who actively participated in the thread and can't remember jack shit about it beyond the cheese part, if even that.

I'm 59 and I've been here since 2002. There's a cohort of us who aging and there's no shame in admitting what comes with the territory. I'm not sure if my account at r30 is fully accurate. I had to give it some thought before posting. I'm curious what others recall.

It was a sandwich counter. The OP and a shitload of other posters were indignant that the lady behind the counter wouldn't just sell him a couple of pounds of it. She said, "I don't know you!" It was pretty amazing how many people were pissed on OPs behalf. Probably the same people who would freak out if the sandwich spot was out of cheese. The thread also included a shitload of people who reveled in revealing all of their favorite scammy ways to rip off various grocery stores and small businesses.

Perhaps. I think some people think arcane DL knowledge is earned by putting in the time, and asking a question like this is cheating.

I myself have objected to threads that ask to explain ALL DL’s mysteries for newbies.

However, this was an irritating hole in my own store of DL knowledge,, and I think asking for an explanation of a single classic thread is acceptable.

R37 you don't have to justify answering a legitimate question. It was before my time I'm afraid

The title of the thread was something like "A strange and amazing story I must share."

So, the thread was not really about Red Dragon Cheese .

Here you go folks.

I get it free at Ruth’s Chris

See end of this thread for confessions of an EST

oh, wow

So it was all a lie?

[fingers in ears]

La-la-la-la-la-la I can’t hear you la-la-la.

I thought BILL TAYLOR and the garbage man was a funny few days.

Muriel said a long time ago when deleting the older threads that it was all "a collaborative fiction"

r43 - Hah. That one just eked through after the 2008 version change.

apparently

my pussy stinks
