 I really liked the Great Escape, so I wanted to parody/imitate that. :)

The idea came to me when I was skimming through old challenges (plus the fact that everyone is always talking about cheese...). I got a bunch of cheese sticks, cut them into squares (though I realize now that keeping them rectangles would have made a much sturdier wall!), and then pressed them into a wall. I used cheddar cheese soup for the 'escape', and used a knife and my turkey baster to get it to properly come out of the little hole. I shot it in my kitchen, and my boyfriend had to hold a light behind it to help keep the shadows at a minimum. If I try this again, I think I'll use Cheez Whiz or Velveeta, because the soup is a little too thin.

I don't expect to score high, and that's cool.. I just had a lot of fun doing this. :)

Great parody of the original! I wish the cheese wall were a bit more in focus, but nonetheless a really fun effort.
