Happy Cheese Weasel Day 2010!

Here’s an excellent Anime drawing of the Cheese Weasel by Zelas. Great stuff!

The day is finally here, it’s Cheese Weasel Day!

It doesn’t cost anything to say thanks to your favorite technical worker. But if you have any cheese in the house you can use it to express your “grate-fulness” to them too.

Got any cheese in the house? Use it creatively to say thanks!

If you are looking for ideas for your CWD celebration, we have a few listed below!

For folks who are in the OKC area we have a CWD Reception. We’d love to see you there! But, no matter where you are, you can make your own CWD fun!

Here is how you can celebrate:

1. Give your favorite tech person a Thank You shout out using #cheeseweaselday or #cwd on Twitter
2. Send someone you know in the tech sector a Cheese Weasel Day Greeting card. Here are some Cheese Weasel Day E-cards
3. Arrange secretly for a slice of cheese to be placed under the mouse pad of a tech person you know. [Check back in a few days to make sure they found the Cheese. Just to be sanitary. I mean, if they don't know about it and leave it there indefinitely, it could start to smell like Limburger.]
4. Go here and learn the Cheese Weasel Song so you can sing it at your own Weasel celebration.
5. Write a blog post. Help spread the word about Cheese Weasel Day by writing on your blog.
6. Take a picture of your Cheese Weasel Day party and upload it on the CWD Facebook page
7. Plan a Cheese Weasel Day party. It’s fun! A fondue party, make grilled cheese sandwiches, nachos, or Cheetos on the house!
8. Get the official “Cheese Weasel Day” tee! Ferret out your bad fashion and gird your loins with the weasel. It’s the perfect thing to wear to a CWD party!

Only a few more hours until Cheese Weasel Day is officially here. Time to get in touch with your inner weasel and make plans to do something special for the techies in your lives. This year we have a lot of new free resources for you to use. Here are three ways you can share the joy of Cheese Weasel Day.

Get in Touch With You Inner Cheese Weasel

First, you can slip some cheese under the mouse pad of your friends. We have created Cheese Weasel Day print-and-fold cards. Just print them up, write a personal message, put in a slice of cheese, and slip it under their mouse pad.

Second send them the Cheese Weasel Song. You can go traditional, send a CWD Rap, or try this bluesy rendition on video. Pick one that suits their taste in cheesy music.

Third, don’t forget, we have Cheese Weasel T-Shirts if you want to send something more substantial.

It’s confirmed! You can meet “Cheezie” the Watonga Cheese Festival mouse at the Cheese Weasel Day Reception in Oklahoma City Saturday, April 3rd at Vintage timeless Coffee.

Cheezie will be making a personal appearance bringing cheesy goodness to all the good little techies who attend the event. Thanks to the Watonga Chamber of Commerce for making the Cheese Weasel Day event more fun this year!

Listen to the MP3 of his rap here

>> Cheese Wheel Day (RMX) feat. Stevie G. tha’ RDQLUS One <<

Check out Steve’s flow…

“on April 3, scream it with me… FORMAGGIO!,
I like my cheese suite & rich like Bellagio
Or I can chill low-bill at the cottage,
it varies when I’m speaking about my fave piece of dairy
Milky – is the way I choose to describe it
While some say cheddar’s betta, I’m feta
Cheeses go bold, melty hot or cold,
wheel of block… only food that you can rock when it’s moldy
Get some wine from the cellar-bration, cheese nation,
But I go “Gouda Fella” if  touch my mozzarella”
