Flashbacks Taste Like Cheese
I find it interesting that almost every single show has flashbacks. I mean, is it like: "Hello, my name is Bob."
FLASHBACK: *At his birth, he wasn't named 'Robert' he was named 'Bob the Terrible.'*
Anyway, it seems really pointless for all these really short flashbacks. They do give, say, a certain insight into the person's character. But what they give us most of all, is the taste of cheese.
FLASHBACK: *It's Swiss. It has holes in it. It is white, and comes from . . . Switzerland.*
That didn't make any sense. But somehow . . . somehow mysterious and almost impossible, flashbacks bring a certain taste of cheese into your mouth. It may be the plastic cheese that Jeanlily seems to favor so much. Or, my personal favorite, Swiss cheese. Or perhaps it's cheddar. Perhaps it's American cheese . . . which, quite frankly, tastes horrible, and should be banned from the face of the earth. Or maybe it's blue cheese. Or maybe it's . . .
You know, I just realized the reason why flashbacks taste like cheese. You see, in the making of cheese, as I understand it, is what you basically do is put milk in something-or-other, and wait 'till it rots and grows fungus. And that fungusy, rotty milk hardens and rots into cheese. Now, flashbacks, the reason why they're called flashBACKS is they go back in time. And cheese, like memories, are rotten things that used to be fresh. Memories where fresh when they were actually happening. And cheese used to be not moldy when it was milk. Which, by the way, tastes really good.
I like milk. I like every kind of milk. Well, cow milk, that is. I like whole percent, two percent . . . I mean, I like whole milk, I like 2%, I like 1%, and I like skim milk. The only thing I really, really hate is goat milk.
Now, I've heard that if you get goat milk fresh, it actually tastes pretty good. And that the people who have fresh goat milk love it. And when they come across a person who says "I hate goat milk" they say: "That's because you haven't had it fresh. Taste this." And they taste it fresh, and it's yummy. I don't know. I've never had fresh goat milk. I don't like not-fresh goat milk, because then it tastes a little bit like goat cheese. And if you think the sound of milk rotting into cheese is back, you should taste goat cheese. Or, whatever it's called. It's nasty, it's very bad.
That's why some flashbacks are very bad. Because, instead of being cow cheese, they're goat cheese. That's one of the biggest differences between good and bad flashbacks. Now, the good flashback is the one that tastes like, say Swiss cheese, which I like, even if Jeanlily doesn't, because she's wrong. These are good flashbacks: memories that are interesting and pertinent. Like:
FLASHBACK: *Gandalf is talking to Frodo about not killing unnecessarily.* Or:
FLASHBACK: *Nick Knight is biting his first victim. He's a vampire, that's why he's biting him. Or, rather, her.* Then there are the back flashbacks, like:
FLASHBACK: *'Ello, my name is Bob. Bob the . . . oh boy, I can't remember what it was. Was it the destroyer? The pokey stick? Oh boy . . .*
That was a bad flashback.
You see, the latter example, with Bob the Pokey, or whatever he was, is a goat cheese flashback. However, the one with Frodo, and Gandalf and Nicholas Knight, that is a cow cheese flashback. I like cow cheese. Most cow cheese. It's real, unlike that plasticy American cheese stuff. Which is gross. Even if Jeanlily likes it. That doesn't mean it's not gross.
Therefore, flashbacks, no matter where or when they are, like cheese, are rotting. And like cheese, they come from good things like milk, and memories. Ergo, I conclude: Flashbacks taste like cheese. Thank you.
