Earth's largest satellite is not actually composed of GreenCheese. This suddenly commonplace knowledge leaves a gaping hole in the distinction we inherited from our grandparents. If the moon is not made of the stuff, then ''what is GreenCheese?''
Consulting the 1933 OxfordEnglishDictionary, we find the term GreenCheese did not originally intend ''Green'' in the sense of color, but in the sense of unripeness, novelty, whimsy and experiment. Any sufficiently quixotic endeavor, whether realizable or not, thus qualifies as GreenCheese.
Yet our culture is filling with pre-digested expectations, and the appreciation of GreenCheese has become an atavism. Half-baked ideas, fanciful explorations, and unconventional intents are doing the DoDo as popular culture spirals into an ever thinner and more iconostatic FeedbackEffect.
This website represents the main organ of the GreenCheeseSociety, a gentle community intended to embody, develop, and promote GreenCheese. We do not expect this endeavor to be without its mis-steps and unanticipated consequences. Its History is fraught with strife and lost stories.
Nevertheless, we intend here a communal space where wild ideas can be cultured, interrelated, and realized, and where notorious Loonies can congregate in fellowship without concern for the DelusionOfSanity.
The following pages provide necessary context for this effort:
- Focus is where all the action is. No, I insist. Oh, all right then.
- History describes how we got here.
- Membership tells you how you can contribute.
- Etiquette describes the standards of our community.
- CopyLeft provides content licensing details.
- SandBox is a place to try out editing hacks.
- RecentChanges is hard to resist.
