Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

CB simulator! I really wish they'd kept calling it that.

And you can use it to send a message to anyone in North America! Holy cow!

I seem to have somehow lost the Excel toolbar that you can change text in (i.e. you already have text in a cell and need to insert more text). I'm on a Mac. Help?

Is there a 'Formula Bar' option under the 'View' menu? That should be checked to show that UI component.

Yes, it's checked and appears.

I always loose that thing in Office 2007 and can never get it back without restarting (in XP though).

I've lost it before too, and I can NEVER remember how to get it back.

I guess I am not much help, but I sympathize.

All I can say is that I am pretty sure it is not a tool bar, and I feel like it might be a keyboard shortcut that fixes it.

I tried to customize the formatting toolbar and when the customize window comes up, I can see the text box, but I can't select it in the window. DAMN!

In my experience, this usually means that you've accidentally repositioned one of the toolbars, and it's covering up part of another toolbar.

In this case, GC, there should be a down-pointing arrow that drops down a menu with the unseen toolbar items, on the right hand side of the toolbar in question.
