Cheese Chasers
At the end of a raid on The Hunka Cheese Co. (a cheese factory), Hubie determines to Bertie that, based on the amount of cheese the average mouse eats in a lifetime (12 lbs.), they have eaten enough in one night to have lived 2,000 years (48 tons). Claiming that they will never be able to even touch cheese again, and thus believing that they have nothing left to live for, Hubie and Bertie become suicidal and try to get eaten by Claude Cat. They open the sleeping Claude's mouth, step into it, and then close it with them still inside. The cat wakes up, thinks "SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DENMARK" (with a white sign with "SOMETHING ROTTEN IN" and an arrow in red over Denmark, under Norway and Sweden), and the mice beg him to eat them. Claude says that he must be dreaming and sticks himself with a pin to wake himself up, screaming in pain. Commenting on what a horrible dream he had, Claude laughs it off and tries to go back to sleep. Hubie and Bertie again enter Claude's mouth and beg him to eat them. Realizing that it is not a dream, the cat cringes in fear in a corner and asks the mice what he ever did to them. When Hubie and Bertie insist that all they want is for him to eat them, Claude says that he does not want to eat them. When he offers the mice a hunk of cheese, they recoil and tell him to take it away. Confused, the cat consults a book called Mental Illnesses: Their Cause and Cure. He finally finds the page he is looking for, folds it into a three-cornered hat and assumes a Napoleon pose.
Cheese Chasers
The bulldog tells Claude to not give him any trouble. When Claude continues to beg the bulldog to "massacre" him, the bulldog thinks "SOMETHING DECIDEDLY FISHY HERE" (with a wooden sign with "SOMETHING DECIDEDLY FISHY HERE" in red pointing to a fishbowl with three goldfish), and the mice come running out of the house and once again beg Claude to eat them. The bulldog asks Claude if cats eat mice, which he denies ("No!"), and asks Herbie and Bertie if mice eat cheese, which they also deny ("Cheese? Ahh! Don't mention that word!"). The bulldog tries to figure out why Claude no longer wants to eat mice and the mice do not want to eat cheese anymore. Finding out, using an adding machine, in the end that "It just don't add up!", he runs after a passing dog catcher truck, now wanting to get committed ("Hey, wait for me! Wait for baby!"), with Claude ("Hey, wait for me! You gotta massacre me!") and the mice ("Wait, you cowardly cat!") following after him, all three of them still wanting to end their own lives.
At the end of a raid on a cheese factory, Hubie steps out of a wheel of cheese and nauseated. Bertie stumbles out after. Hubie determines that, based on the amount of cheese the average mouse eats in their lifetime, 12 pounds, they've eaten enough to have lived two thousand years. Determining that they can no longer stomach cheese, and with nothing else to live for, they determine their only course of action: suicide. They return home, where they write a suicide note, "Goodbye, cruel world!" and introduce themselves to the gullet of a sleeping Claude Cat.
The bulldog figures out that Claude no longer wants to eat mice, and the mice now hate cheese, but after using an adding machine to figure it out, concludes, "It just don't add up!" He runs after a dog catcher wanting to get committed "Hey, wait for me! Wait for baby!" Claude, "Hey, wait for me! You gotta massacre me!" and the mice, "Wait, you cowardly cat!" are in hot pursuit, still bent on ending their own lives.

Marc Anthony sees Claude standing there with a blindfold and a cigarette, and asks what's going on. When Claude begs the bulldog to "massacre" him, Marc Anthony thinks "something's decidedly fishy here". It gets worse when Hubie and Bertie run out, trying to get Claude to eat them.

Cheesy daredevils have raced after a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in the Cotswalds, at noon during the spring Bank Holiday for 200 years. While the Cheese-Rolling festival has been officially called off for the past two years, it is still unofficially held, usually in late May, by cheese enthusiasts. This year's Cheese-Rolling is slated for June 4 to coincide with the Queen's Jubilee.
During the Cheese-Rolling, men and women roll down a muddy, steep 200-yard hill after an 8-pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese that is handmade by Diana Smart. The four large wheels of cheese for the men's and women's races and a small one for the children's race are made with milk from her herd of Brown Swiss, Holstein, and Gloucester cows.
In the adult races, the first cheese-chaser to tumble and roll to the hill's bottom and grab the savory cheese wins the cheese and bragging rights. The children's race is a safer jaunt uphill to retrieve the cheese.
The organizers of the Cheese-Rolling have had challenges staging the event in recent years, ranging from poor weather and claims of profiteering to crowd control (15,000 people showed up during the last official Cheese-Rolling in 2009) and health concerns. Each year, a dozen or so Cheese-Rolling competitors are treated for bumps, bruises, sprains, and even spinal injuries at the free event that is open to all who want to win the big cheese.
Cheese Chasers is a solitaire tile-placement game in which the player aims to get as many point as possible. The player places cards that are drawn in random order to the play area and he tries to surround cheese with his mice. But beware, cats and traps will be there to obstruct your quest for cheese.
After invading a cheese factory, mice Hubie and Bertie have finally had their fill of cheese and figure there's nothing more left to live for. They plan to end it all by surrendering to Claude Cat, who becomes decidedly suspicious
For a Looney Tunes cartoon from 1951, this was way darker than I was expecting but that's what made it so funny. Two mouse buddies eat so much cheese that they feel like killing themselves, so they try to get the housecat to eat them as a form of euthanasia. This makes the cat think he's crazy, leading to comical misunderstandings. Pretty funny stuff, and the morbidity of it gives it a special charm.
Hubie and Bertie eat so much cheese in a cheese warehouse, they're driven to suicide. LOL, wut? This shakes a cat's and a dog's respective worldviews so much, it becomes a death cult. A24 needs to pick this up.
Mice Hubie and Bertie, tired of eating cheese all day, wish to end it all by suicide via Claude Cat eating them. But Claude doesn't want to eat another mouse as long as he lives and the prospect wants him want to attempt suicide via a dog eating him. The dog is reasonable perplexed & a little bit scared in this very funny cartoon.
Hilarious Chuck Jones short in which everything that's supposed to be normal isn't. Two mice, Bert and Hubie, gorge themselves on cheese in a cheese factory, are totally bloated and swear they'll never eat cheese again. Figuring they have nothing to live for, they decide to end it all. They seek out Claude the housecat to get him to eat them. They continually leap into his mouth. He can't understand and is suspicious. They chase him and insist, "Please eat us, Mr. Cat!" He thinks he's going crazy.
Fridge Logic In Cheese Chasers, Hubie and Bertie O.D. on cheese, and feeling nothing left to live for as they can no longer stand cheese want Claude Cat to eat them. Claude gets traumatized in turn and wants Marc Antony to massacre him. None of the antagonists bother to explain why they want to be eaten/beaten up, and Marc Antony can only deduce, "It just don't add up!!" He goes running for the dog catcher. Sylvester has this problem in "Life with Feathers". The lovebird never tells Sylvester why he wants him to eat him.
Both of these episodes (and any other cartoon episode like them) could have been over almost instantly, if the suicidal character had just kept the fact that they wanted to die to themselves; using "Cheese Chasers" as an example, the biggest mistake the mice made was telling Claude they wanted him to eat them, when he was perfectly willing to do just that a second a go.
The Cheese Roll Championships consist of ten races, organized based on age and gender of contestants. Contestants must register in advance at the Celtic Celebration Information Booth located at the bottom of the cheese roll hill on Belfast Common (with an adult if under age 18). The number of competitors is unlimited for groups up to age 12. For older folks, the number is limited to ten racers. If more than ten show up to chase the cheese, they will have to race uphill first, and the first ten will be final contestants.
Each race begins with a five-pound wheel of cheese being rolled down the slope on Belfast Common toward the bay. The group will race to catch up with and grab the cheese wheel. The Grand Prize - each cheese wheel plus a selection of specialty cheeses - is well worth the downhill plunge. The cheese wheel maker, Pineland Farms Dairy, is located in Bangor and support local dairy farmers by using 100% fresh Maine milk to handcraft specialty cheeses in a state-of-the-art facility using old-world cheese making techniques. Jim Lesser of Pineland Farms comments. "By purchasing locally, you are not only getting the finest cheese, but you are supporting your local farms, your local economy, and a regional food system that is better for you and the environment." 041b061a72
