I saw Gene Ching a few days ago at the supermarket. Can someone tell me why he was loading up on Nacho Cheese? He had several of the large cans in his cart. I asked him if there was a party and he said "no, nacho cheese is essential for Kung Fu."
Are there benefits to the cheese?
:confused:

My dear young nachette, NACHOCHEESE, you think you've outed me, but you've actually entered one of my rings now and don't think for a second that I'm not keeping tally on you. I *own* all things nacho on this here forum. Ever wonder why this forum is nacho sauce colored? It's a Shaolin secret. Someday, when you're ready, I'll let you in on the secret pleasures of nacho sauce... when you're old enough... ;)

There was a boy and his grandmother that lived at the bottom of a big hill.
At the top of the hill was the local cheeze/dairy store.
One day the cheese store was giving away free cheese to the community.
The grandmother sent the boy to the store to get some of the free cheese.
The boy started running up the hill to the store to get the cheese. About a quarter of the way up he had to stop to catch his breath. Then he started to jog up the hill. He had to stop halfway up to catch his breath again. Then he started to walk up the hill, sat on the curb 3/4 the way up to catch his breath again. A while later he finally made it up to the hill. As fate would have it, he was just in time to get the last bit of free cheese, a nice round loaf wrapped in shrink wrap. The boy stepped out of the store, still weary from racing up the hill, he sat on the curb and set down the cheese to regain his strength.
As he wasn't paying attention, the cheese rolled all the way down the hill until it bumped a man in the leg waiting at the bus stop. The man looked at the cheese, saw it was still edible and decided to take it home. When the man arrived home his wife asked him what he as holding, "cheese" he told her. "what kind of cheese is it?" she asked. "I think it's nacho cheese," he said, "because half the way home there was some boy running after the bus yelling 'IT'S NOT YO CHEESE! IT'S NOT YO CHEESE!!!"

NACHOCHEESE, you need to check out the pink nacho ninja thread (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35945&page=1&pp=15). BTW, I have nacho-colored ninjette suits on order for my future legion of nacho ninjettes. What's your size again, NACHOCHEESE? ;)

Is that the result of "down it by the gallon"? And you're smelling balls to predict the future? Oh man, you're doing it all wrong. What you need is some private lessons in the ways of the mysterious nacho arts. Young nacho padawan, much to learn there is...

A side kick, eh? Tonight? Sure. Promises...All I ever get is promises.... :(

Thanks, SLL, that's a classic. I'm still curious about the old thread though; it would be nice link to it from here.

And more promises from NACHOCHEESE...oh man... :rolleyes: Don't make me bring up the thongs... Hey, what was up with all those ninja women you were with last night? :eek: The really frightening thing is that I'm totally serious about the ninjas and thongs, and NACHOCHEESE knows it

HB: You had to bring up cheesy discharge, didn't ya? Now you know why you're in TCM land...

Oh, no!! Please don't do that. I think just the thought of doing it is enough torture for Gene. I don't know if he could handle that much excitement.
Thanks, Lueb for the offer. I wouldn't want you to risk your subscription...I'm sure they are going to have some sort of Nacho ad with Gene in the near future. :D I know you wouldn't want to miss that, I sure don't! :p Thanks for the help!

Either you get nachos or your don't. It's that simple.

Posting the sports bra pic won't get you banned Lueb, and of course, we want to keep all our loyal subscribers (http://www.martialartsmart.net/19341.html). Now I'm thinking I should even encourage it, just to punish NC and all others who dare post on this neafrious thread. The sports bra is burned into the back of my retinas so seeing it again can't do any further harm. But for those virgin to SLL-sports-bra-kung-fu, there's no going back. If you see an attachment to SLL's next post, listen to me now and hear me later - do not download. :eek:

Why did I click that button again? It's sort of like when you have a sore in your mouth and you just can't resist sticking your tongue in it to see if it still hurts. ouch. It does. Funny tho, my memories of that pic was slightly different. Did you make a new one, SLL? Because two such pictures would be pure evil.

Also I look taller int he magazine because I'm usually standing next to short Chinese guys, not deviant Shaolinluebs...

if she starts swearing at you in a language you dont understand. Actually, I understand Taiwanese cussing - it's the Cantonese cussing that I can't follow...the funny thing is that with a Taiwan accent, occasionally normal words sound like swear words - shirt sometimes comes out like ****, and such. Needless to say, it adds to the general hilarity at the office here....

Gravy fight and food fest a huge success (http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/news/headlines/display.var.1675010.0.karate_experts_named_world_g ravy_wrestling_champions.php)
By Sally Henfield

A MARTIAL arts student was crowned world gravy wrestling champion and said: "I only won because I could stand up!"

Sumo warriors, martial arts specialists and a chef were among competitors at the first international championships, organised as part of Pennine Lancashire Festival of Food and Culture.

And after 40 minutes of gruelling grappling in the cold mix of meat juices, chopped up vegetables and cornflour, Ian Marsden and two friends emerged world champions.

The members of the Tower Shukokai Karate Club, based in Darwen, wowed the judges with their wrestling skills - but the final vote came from the crowd who cheered them on to victory.

The wrestling ring was set up in Sainsbury's car park in Darwen, where there were a series of three minutes bouts, with points awarded for pinning opponents to the floor.

However, the scores were equal at the end of the competition so the final decision was made using applause levels generated by the spectators.

The new - and first ever - world champions of gravy wrestling were Ian, Martin Skipper and the mysterious 'Super Roy the Darwen Destroyer.' Team leader Ian, of Redearth Road, Darwen, said: "It feels great to be a world champion. I don't think our karate skills did us any favours.

"We were only any good because we seemed to be able to stand up a bit longer than the others."

The event raised over £500 for the East Lancashire Hospice, Blackburn. Event organiser Jackie Livesey said: "It was fantastic - much better than we had hoped.

Despite being touted as an international competition - and even gaining coverage in the Bangkok Times - the furthest a competitor travelled was from Leicester.

Joel Hicks, 28, who dressed as a chef, said: "I go up and down the country taking part in wacky sports for charity. This was great fun, well worth the drive."

Other events at the festival have included a 1940s Hits from the Blitz dinner dance, an evening with celebrity cook Keith Floyd, guided walks looking for tasty treats in hedgerows; cooking demonstrations; mushroom hunts; a chef cricket match and a waiters' race. For the first time, events will continue through to October.

Mrs Livesey said: "The festival has been a huge success - but we will be looking to bigger and better things next year.

"All of our events are aimed at showing people the delights of food and the fun that can be had with food."

Carmen Rocha dies at 77; waitress credited with introducing L.A. to nachos (http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-rocha17-2008oct17,0,6044321.story)
By Mary Rourke, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
October 17, 2008
Carmen Rocha, a waitress at El Cholo Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles for many years who is credited with introducing the city to nachos, the now-ubiquitous appetizer of tortilla chips, cheese and jalapeño peppers, has died. She was 77.

Rocha, whose photograph appears on one of the restaurant's souvenir postcards, died at her home in Los Angeles on Oct. 9. The cause was cancer, according to Rand Salisbury, whose family owns El Cholo.

She started working at the restaurant in 1959 and won a following with her warm, outgoing personality. "Carmen was wonderful, to me and to everybody," actor Jack Nicholson, a longtime regular at El Cholo, said this week. "It's a community loss," he said of her death.

For a special treat Rocha sometimes went into the kitchen and made her customers an order of nachos, an item not included on the menu. She followed a recipe she learned in San Antonio, where she grew up, layering tortilla wedges, shredded cheddar cheese and slices of jalapeño pepper, warming the dish in the oven. Before long she had requests from all over the dining room and her nachos were added to the menu.

"Carmen Rocha introduced an iconic dish and helped popularize it," said Merrill Shindler, who wrote "El Cholo Cookbook: Recipes and Lore From California's Best Loved Mexican Kitchen" in 1998. "Now, everybody eats nachos. If they were called 'Carmens,' not nachos, her name would be remembered forever."

Rocha worked at the original El Cholo on Western Avenue for close to 40 years and often socialized with her co-workers on Sundays when they stopped by her family's weekly open house. "She was a very loving person," said Linda Mendez, a waitress and longtime friend of Rocha. "People came to Carmen and asked her advice, even her customers did. You could talk to her."

Before Rocha retired in the 1990s, the restaurant lounge was renamed "Carmen's Cantina." By then she had been through knee surgery and was working "with a cane in one hand and a pitcher of margaritas in the other," Salisbury said.

"She would have liked to keep working, but she had to quit for health reasons."

Born Carmen Salas on Oct. 6, 1931, in Seguin, Texas, she moved to San Antonio with her parents when she was young. She married Rudy Rocha in the 1940s and they moved to Los Angeles in 1959. The couple had six children before they divorced. Several later moved into houses down the street from their mother.

In November 1970, Rocha was at work when she learned that one of her three sons, Robert, who was in the Army, had been killed in Vietnam. She fainted and later couldn't stop crying, but the next day she was back at work. "People asked her, 'What are you doing here?' and Carmen told them, 'This restaurant is my home,' " Ron Salisbury, president of El Cholo and Rand's father, recalled this week.

When her son's name was inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., his middle name was spelled incorrectly. Instead of Robert Salas Rocha, it was written Robert Silas Rocha.

Carmen and her family spent close to 20 years trying to get the mistake fixed. Their first two appeals to the government were turned down. They were told that only "gross misspellings" were corrected. A third try brought change. The name of Rocha's son was re-inscribed. She and family members went to see it, as guests of the government, for a Memorial Day ceremony.

"If someone died for their country, he should at least have his name spelled correctly," Rocha said in a 2002 interview with The Times.

In recent years, Rocha worked as a volunteer at Pasadena City Hall, took computer training classes for senior citizens and kept up her Sunday open house parties.

Rocha is survived by five children, 14 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
