But it's so cool looking... who cares about the other stuff? I didn't buy one of  because I couldn't figure out any other way of making hot dogs, you know. |

If I give her that, what else would be worthy? With something like that, it can be the only present. |

Giving a small appliance as a gift to a child qualifies as abuse.
Granted, it is a cool toaster.

If I was a dick (like my brother), I'd wrap each loaf of bread in a big box....And put something in there to make them feel heavy.
[edit] Seriously though, it's a great gift.

Not impressed with that rice cooker. I have an Oster steamer that cooks my rice just dandy.
I have a wife that does the same!  We have a rice cooker that works quite well, but I will be buggered if I can remember what kind it is. It is white...does that help? |

I'd like to know when I'm getting my first generation nuclear pressure-toaster. I want it to be something like a pressure cooker for rice and vegatables, but shaped for toast. I figure, if I can cut down my sandwich making time by 1 minute, I can be 7,000% more efficient with work. Seriously. Sandwich-making is a taxing hobby.

I looked up that stupid word and it doesn't exist. Stop saying it, too, or it'll turn into one of those annoying buzz words which also usually don't exist. My google-fu gave me this on the first hit, page 10 first paragraph... ;) One of the pleasures of having a 19th century gentleman's vocabulary is watching the great unwashed scratch their heads. Besides my hero Humpty Dumpty said it best: "‘When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.'
‘The question is,' said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things."
‘The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master—that's all.'" So neener neener... ;) |

I do something along this line to my younger sister every year. I think she would be seriously disappointed if I didn't. If its not the ridiculously big box, it's the item wrapped five times with layers of packing tape between each layer of paper. |

My brother would wrap cat turds and rocks in a box. He didn't even try to hide his bullshit by weighing it down.
Still worked though. I thought it was a puzzle when I shook it.

I have the rice cooker, a few things are clear to me now.
a) Washing rice really means wash rice like you are panning for gold.
b) There is a utilzle who's solo purpose is to fluffy rice.
c) Playing "Twinkle,Twinkle, Little Star" at the beginning and end makes all the difference.
d) The Japanesse take cooking Tasty Rice very seriously. The manual for my DVD player is shorter than the manual for this thing.

the NES is the only reason the current video game market exists. The market had all but died. Actually, it did die. And out of the ashes came the NES. A system that had a stranglehold on the american and japanese public in a way that no other system could ever dream of - it was the beginning. It was year zero. It was robot jesus. Hence the reason I consider it the first modern gaming console. The 2600 was a nice prehistoric experiment. And did give way to the gaming market as we know it, but it didn't birth that market.

Fixed for you. Cool toaster, I'd buy something pointless like that for my wife if she was into Hello Kitty, instead, she thinks she's getting either a foot spa-massager-thing or an Icecream maker. Little does she know I've already bought her a bunch of things, and plan to get both the icecreammaker and foot spa, and just hide 95% of the crap I buy her so she'll have no idea until I "go for a piss" in the AM of Christmas morning and put it all out.. muahahaha |

It's tough for jokes to be funny when they take two weeks to formulate.
"The jerk store called, they're running out of you!"
Also, it better be a Hello Kitty foot massager. And the ice cream maker? Also better be Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty is the appliance equivilent of turning an amplifier up to 11.
