It's BIg Block of Cheese Day

I know there are a bunch of West Wing fans here so, have you heard that its real life Big Block of Cheese Day?

Heres a video and schedule for the day.  Basically its worth it to hear Martin Sheen yell HASHTAG.

I was laughing so hard at this video that I scared my dog.

And then I made DH watch "The Crackpots and These Women".

This is everything.

It's the most.

I think I am going to watch "Somebodys Going to Emergency, Somebodys Going to Jail"

[jbm]

H and I watch the whole series once every couple of years and we just got to Season 5 and it makes me so sad. I liked Season 7, though.

Nothing ups my post count like TWW!

I've just started re-watching with MH who has never watched before. He loved 'The Crackpots and These Women'

[cubed]

I'm on my 4th re-watching of the series. Netflix better never get rid of WW!

[chickie]

I love it! I tried explaining it to MH and he just didn't get it. And I've lost count of how many times I've watched the series now. I'm holding on to my DVDs just in case Netdlix drops it.

Love this! I just watche WW for the first time a few months ago. I thought it was an old people show when I was in college.

We just covered Andrew Jackson in my 8th grade history classes, and I showed them Leo's first Big Block of Cheese speech.

I wish my 8th grade history teacher had been this cool!

If TWW had existed when I was in 8th grade, of course.

I don't go here yet but you guys follow Josh and Donna on Twitter right? It basically made my life when I found their accounts. TWW box set is going to get me through maternity leave.

My TWW boxed set gets so much love, I'm legitimately concerned that I will wear out the discs.

I am making chili tonight. 

Everybody look down at the big seal on the carpet and back up at me.

I might have a West Wing problem.

FTR, I showed Isaac and Ishmael in class this week.

IT IS ON NETFLIX, PEOPLE.

Also, 20 Hours in America. "My name is Toby, and I work at the White House."

And Stirred makes me cry every single time, "Mrs. Morello, I am standing in the Oval Office with the President of the United States and it is because of you."

And Shibboleth, "My father gave this to me, and his father to him, and now I am giving it to you"

Basically, all of it except Mandy.

@probecita can vouch, I totally IG-ed a Dule Hill photo of the cast that he tweeted a week ago because I was so excited at the idea of NEW VIDEO! And big block of cheese day was an excellent outcome.

wordsy Whenever someone mentions BBoC Day, I immediately say "And a Wheat Thin the size of Lake Tahoe."

It's hard to say this, due to circumstances, but it is one of my favorite episodes. It is so brilliant, intelligent, and moving.

::sigh:: Why was TWW so perfect?

I agree. It is my favorite, if I had to choose, and I watch it with my students every year because it needs to be said.

Same. But God they're perfect together. Even on Twitter.
