Very cool! The thread title confused me, since "beanball" means something a little different to baseball players in the US. Makes me recall when my dad used to line my brother and I up against a chainlink fence, then he'd get a bucket of baseballs and throw them at us until we were tough. Good times...
Oh, and for the record I totally vote for the grated cheese on top. RW knows that I would eat a bowl of paper clips if they were covered in melted cheese.
