YSaC, Vol. 1581: Don’t let the Sparkys grind you down.

2013 August 19

Here we have a Sparky of few words:

Item – $10


Toaster

Why yes. A toaster is, indeed, an item. Hard to argue with that. A few more details might be nice, however. Is the toaster one of these?

Or one of these?

Because the second one would be much, much cooler.

Thanks for the link, sd!

    Does it work? Does it play? Will it pay rent? SOLD!

    Can the item be reconfigured for use as a thing?

      For only $10? Aren’t you selling yourself a little short?

        Limelolly, we promised not to talk about that. You know, what happens in the lounge when we get really drunk stays in the lounge.

        Nope, 10 is about the right number…

      Flying out of the sun
      The smell of toast is in the air,
      When there’s a job to be done,
      The flying toasters will be there,
      And it’s Flap! Flap! Flap!
      Now help is on the way,
      This vic’try song they sing,
      We pop up to save the day,
      On Mighty Toaster Wings!

      In Brightest Day or After Dark,
      When times of trouble are at hand,
      The Flying Toasters set a spark,
      And hope is blazing ‘cross the land!
      And it’s Flap! Flap! Flap!
      Salvation from above,
      A precious gift they bring:
      Gleaming Angels of Love,
      On Migh-ty Toast-er Wings!

          Bookmarked. Sweet, sweet nostalgia.
          I was terribly jealous of my college roommate’s Mac because he could run After Dark, until they finally ported it over for Windows. It was still never as good as the Mac version though.

      Does it fly?

      The real question is “Does it float?” Because if it starts sinking, all the little crumbs will abandon toaster and try to swim away, but many crumbs won’t make it because they will get sucked under when the toaster goes down. Think of all those poor little crumbs that won’t ever reach maturity and become sammiches.

    I hate these slice-of-life short stories. No plot, no character development, no sex.

      Like, do youy mean no sex as in no gender? Or like, no sex as in the other thing that people do that I can’t talk about here because like, Mumsy will wash my paws out with soap. That’s like, Eww!

      [corey] The afore posted toaster was placed below the ad by our revered Ostrimu(BBUH). The reason being, I believe, is for the benefit of we YSaC readers who are not experienced in the art of kitchen appliance. Some of us would like to have some context so we might have a clue as to what is going on around here. I do not believe the Ostrimu(BBUH) would post gratuitous reflectopron just for shock value. That is what you will likely get if you buy a used toaster.[/corey]

    On the plus side, it’s much safer to buy a used toaster than say, a used baster.

    Way back when I was in high school, (No, not the one with the Not.A.Lion mascot or the one with the condom mascot, the one with the bird. Yes, that’s the one.) this girl and I became an item. It was an innocent affair. You know, holding hands, just hanging out, stuff like that. (No, I never hung out by myself. If I just wandered around hanging out, I would have been expelled.) So anyway, it was hugs and smoochies, we never bread. Because of a rumor though, started by a friend of hers, [rumor redacted]. It wasn’t long and I was toast. So now I just eat my peanut butter out of a jar instead of making a sammich.

    If you hold a toaster up to your ear, would you hear the poptart scream?
