My toaster oven

[machiner]

The other appliances say - "hey - that old toaster oven is dead, man. Gone. You have to forget about it and move on. You must cook with one of us, now. Choose!"

And let the wooing begin.

They taunt me with their efficiency and streamlined plastica. Each one may have moments of promise, but they melt away slowly, in their lacking.

SO - this is an Ubuntu Linux forum -- and not wanting to just parade words around I have decided to turn this thread into a call to arms.

Let's see which one of you smarty-pants can rig up some hardware config to make my toaster oven into the thing of miracles.

The brains of the kitchen.

I made a toaster once that buttered the toast as part of the service. Lay your favorite bread in, slide the switch - wait for it....wait. waaaaaaait. BAM - whiiish, slap, spread - boom, out popped buttered toast. The fellas were impressed.

See the pics - envision the goal. Make your mark.

LOL

machiner, that has to be one of the best quotes about appliances I have ever heard. You, my friend, are a geek-poet.

I read the forum everyday. Not for "how do I play mp3s?"

Nope. I do it for stuff like this. Priceless.

[machiner]

Stop it.

[kassetra]

Stop it.

(yeah, not going to happen!)

So today, I was going to toast myself some toast when lo' and behold I caught the toaster on fire, again. While I was trying to put it out, I dropped it as well.

I now have a hunk of tin and burnt plastic shards in my trash. Stunk up the place too.

So I went looking for a new toaster today. Cheap. Cheap. Cheap. While I was searching for a new toaster I remembered this post and bought myself a breathlessly expensive toaster oven instead.

All metal with a real glass window. Heh. I wonder how long before this one is in the trash too...?

Except those puppies don't melt slowly, let me tell you! They'll drip down all over your garage floor in under 2 minutes!

SHHH. don't say cool stuff like that too loud. No reason to give cable TV any more bad ideas...


Makes me a little scared of bread. Let me eat cake tonight I guess...

Sometime ask me about tea kettles. Yeah. Left the burner on for a couple of hours under the teapot.

I'm telling you. *Two Minutes*

oooh cake.

[poofyhairguy]

oooh cake.

I'll try to bring some to the big distrowatch party this year.
