Since Saturday, I've been hearing from some of my favorite bloggers about this movement that started over with Hilly at Snackie's World. I resisted at first, but then finally decided to join in. I might have misunderstood, though:
Speaking of funny Englishmen, my bespectacled bearded buddy across the pond, Dan, has tapped me to write a guest post, which appears today. I'm quite afraid of the response I'll get, though. Since everybody knows the Brits aren't nearly as smart as us Americans (although at least they're not Canadians!), they might not get my sense of humor, so I really need you to go over and leave a comment.

I thought that said "Give Cheese A Chance".
No wonder it was funnier in my head.
Comments by Miss Britt
Why is everyone always so down on Sir Lancelot, the brave?
Comments by Amanda
Hey now, be careful what you say or Canadians will go on strike and start demanding moneys from the Internets. And then where will you get your precious maple syrup?
Comments by kapgar
Wow, somebody let you into THEIR blog? Dan is a brave, brave man.
Comments by Karl
wait. did you just dis me?
Comments by bluepaintred
As the queen of "The Movement", I approve your message!
Comments by Hilly
Be careful about insulting Canadians. They've got thousands of Tom Greens up there and they're just dying to unleash them on us.
Comments by Jay
Jeez, if I hadn't seen you naked, I would swear you were my friend Matt the Filthy Critic. He's even married to a gal named Amy. He hates Canadians too.... Scary. You're freaking me out.
Comments by On a Limb with Claudia
Did you really know Hitler? I think he'd have been a much kinder man if his parents had named him Jimmy. I can't imagine someone called Jimmy Hitler starting a world war.
Comments by Gorilla Bananas
After seeing your excellent grasp of "proper" English, can we expect to see a vlog post along the same lines very soon?
Comments by Penelope
If my mother-in-law asks, tell her you stole my wordpress password. On no account implicate me in the publishing of that post or I'm going to be in serious bother.
Comments by Dan
I thought it said Cheese too! And then I read Britt's comment and got all confused, then had to go back to look more carefully at the photo. Now I get it. It's a slow process but I eventually get there. Ummm...I have been making unintentionally inuendos all friggin night.
Comments by BlondeBlogger
Cleese Cheese –Oh My
LMAO@ Dan's comment.
Comments by turnbaby
It's not the Canadiens you should hate, it's the Maple Leafs.
Yes that's a hockey joke because I'm Canadian. So sue me. Oh wait, you can't.
;-)
Let me finish by saying: Eh!
Comments by Mike
i was all confused by the cheese comment. kept staring at my monitor until i realized the man was john cleese and it didn't say cheese. me thinks i need to stop reading your posts before i am properly coffeed up.
Comments by hello haha narf
Amanda, well, he was part Romanian, too.
Kapgar, that would be horrible, like the syrup shortage of '77.
Karl, that's what I thought, too.
BPR, never!
Hilly, and now for something completely different.
Jay, my bum is on your head.
Claudia, don't tell anyone, but I actually love Canadians, especially Michael J. Fox.
GB, you may have a point there.
Penelope, oh, I cannot do an accent to save my life.
Dan, this is what happens when you let your parents and grandparents read your blog!
BB, you get a pass, since you're blonde.
Turnbaby, did you think it said cheese, too?
Mike, what's this aboot?
Comments by Avitable
Hello, damn Britt - she led you down the wrong path.
Comments by Avitable
I think Britt and I share some brain cells because I thought it said "Give Cheese A Chance" too and I got all excited because I was going to suggest cheddar, brie and feta.
I just love a good Greek salad with feta cheese. OMG GOD...NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!
Comments by Lisa
Hm, seems I'm in good company.
Comments by Miss Britt
I'm with Britt... I thought it said Cheese at first too.
I'm all for giving Cheese a chance. Particularly Cheddar.
Comments by NYCWD
I love John Cleese and Faulty Towers.
Comments by Robin
Aboot?
Oh, I get it, you're talking about ENGLISH Canadians.
Carry on. ;-)
Comments by Mike
I was all like, "aww, yay, he's all
(that's the only peace symbol in your smiley list)" but then I read the part about Brits and then I was all like, "he's such a jackass." 
Comments by Poppy
I thought it said "cheese" too. I had a Monteray Jack joke all loaded up...
Comments by Mr. Fabulous
"No, please, no more Sainsbury's commercials. I'll be good."
Comments by golfwidow
Am I the only true English person here?!
I was born in America and I can read that it says Cleese. Plus, um, IT'S A PICTURE OF JOHN CLEESE!!!!!!
(perhaps two iced venti Americanos are a bit much)
Comments by Poppy
Americans is obviously the smartiest people on the world. If not, we wouldn't be running things. I'm sure our empire will last forever, unlike the Romans and British who only thought they could run things forever.
Comments by Grant
I dunno. It didn't look like cheese to me. I guess it's cause I recognized Cleese right away. And then I started laughing. I love that graphic!
Comments by Winter
I'd give Cleese a chance if only he would stop doing those awful golf ball commercials.
Nah...even those are funny!
Comments by B.E. Earl
actually britt didn't lead me down the path, i was already there, sitting confused right in the middle of the path.
besides, i love cheese. had some for breakfast. i blame you for that part.
Comments by hellohahanarf
Lisa, I do love feta cheese on a Greek salad.
Britt, company of tards!
NYCWD, the picture of the man didn't dissuade you from thinking cheese?
Robin, I liked him better in Fawlty Towers.
Mike, yeah. I can't even bear to write about the French ones.
Poppy, I am all lobbalobbalobbalobba (that's how that smiley sounds in my head).
Mr. Fabulous, are you sure you're not Romanian?
Golfwidow, he's still funny, though.
Poppy, people read what they want to.
Grant, yes, we is!
Winter, yeah, me too.
BE Earl, he's also the voice on my TomTom GPS.
Hello, are you sure you're not blonde?
Comments by Avitable
Yeah, I also read it as "give cheese a chance" and I didn't even recognize him - that pic is so old.
Funny thing - I'm starting to suspect I may be allergic to cheese. This is a fact that would probably cause me to self-decommision. I'm not positive, and I think I'll actually go to the dr to check, but I notice itchy bumps on my feet after a higher-than-average cheese intake.
Comments by whall
feel free to look for blonde roots at tequilacon. i'll probably be face down somewhere anyhow so it will be easy. just don't make too much fun of the gray hairs that you'll find.
Comments by hellohahanarf
I thought it said "Give Cheese a Chance".
I think I need more coffee.
Comments by themuttprincess
Lumberjack Beard? Check.
Gorilla-sized? Check.
Hairy? Check.
Wears underwear/socks full of holes? Check.
Ginormous schlong? Check.
Loves Cheeseburgers? Check.
Drives like a madman? Check.
My friend, I think you're an honorary French-Canadian. I'll have the paperwork mailed to you. ;-)
Comments by Mike
John Cleese totally rocks my socks. Ethan goes around quoting Monty Python all the time.
"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
Comments by AmyD
Well, I am WAY smart, and I thought it said cheese as well. Maybe because I am not used to seeing Mr Cleese with so much hair.
Comments by Tracy Lynn
Add me to the people who thought it said Cheese!!! In my defense, you talked about food and then I saw the picture - kind of tricky! Also, I barely recognized it as John Cleese - he looks like the dude I shot up on paper when I went target shooting a while ago, who also happens to look like Stacy Keach!
Anyway - of course I will always go where you tell me to.
But not if it involves cups...
Comments by Sybil Law
No LOL
I was making a joke.
I recognized John Cleese immediately and could read and understand your post.
I'm something of an Anglophile but not overly.
I do use British expressions quite a bit and I love it when I don't have to explain them.
Comments by turnbaby
Yay! For once I am not the only one who didn't get something!
Comments by BlondeBlogger
I really should give you a 'damn good thrashing' for that but I'm afraid you'll only enjoy it.
Comments by Bec
I can't believe you just forced me to go comment on your guest post.
I'm beating you up next weekend.
I hope you're still nice and tender from ADW's visit.
Comments by Poppy
Whall, itchy bumps on your feet after eating cheese? Maybe it's goudarrhea.
Hello, I'll just see if the carpet matches the drapes.
TMP, clearly!
Mike, shit. I think you're right. Eh?
AmyD, at least finally you and I have something in common, since usually you only like people who are dead.
Tracy, I don't know about this "way smart" thing.
Sybil, when was I talking about food?
Turnbaby, did you understand every word?
BB, you're right. You've got a good crowd of honorary blondes with you today.
Bec, yes, I would!
Poppy, next weekend? You mean in three weeks?
Comments by Avitable
you are assuming there is a carpet...
Comments by hello haha narf
The tile floor, then.
Comments by Avitable
i was gonna say hard wood, but i guess that is not correct either...
Comments by hello haha narf
17-24. Thursday to Thursday.
Comments by Poppy
Hello, not quite!
Poppy, ah. I knew it was coming, but didn't have it on my calendar.
Comments by Avitable
Someday I'll catch on that you actually hate me.
Comments by Poppy
Do not! I don't think you told me the exact dates. Or if you did, they might not have been confirmed yet.
Comments by Avitable
I'm just yanking your testy chain. But, not about the firmness of the dates. Extra firm, like my favorite tofu.
Comments by Poppy
Hahahaha
It was the words, "Snackie's World", that threw me off!
Maybe I was just hungry...
I don't know!!!!!!!!!!1
Comments by Sybil Law
Hello & Avitable - the carpet could still match the drapes if she's been fooling everyone by wearing a wig
