Exemplary list.
When I first came across Through Fire, Water, and....Brass Pipes I had been hoping the Super Mario Brothers ripped it off but alas that wasn't the case.
How was Sister Wendy's doc? I have her big coffee table book of art and rather like it.
I have a doc on my Queue titled The Cheese Nun in which a nun who knows a lot about cheese tells us about cheese. I'm actually looking forward to it. Hearing genial, well-informed people tell me about things I don't need to worry about is oddly comforting to me.
Jeremiah, that is cute. And that would have been pretty fabulous if that had been the case.
Aaron, I greatly enjoyed the Sister Wendy doc. She seems very likable, and it's great to see her passion for art. Netflix carries a four-disc series called Sister Wendy: The Complete Collection, but I need to dig around and see if I can find out what all is included in that set. I'm guessing it's what I've already seen plus additional stuff.
The Cheese Nun? Wow. True story: We once had a cheese seminar here at work that included the usual cheese tastings. But it also involved the passing around of jars that contained some sort of oils capturing the pure essence of various cheese smells, none of them very good. Kind of surreal. Apparently, some folks make a living out of studying cheese smells.

An NPR story about a small cheesemaker's concerns about being mentioned in the Wallace and Gromit movie.
BTW my friend Chris works at your company and is often benefiting from the free samples that seem to float around there (at my place we just get two-figure gift cards to-yeccchh-Wal Mart). I'll ask him to see if he can snag some of that cheese oil. I'm curious.
