Do I need to tell the cautionary tale of the broken toaster, the sesame bagel, and flaming appliances flying out windows?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think you really really do, sarameg.

New toaster, Lee.
Reviews suck by definition.
I had 8 consecutive hours of sleep last night, for the first time in 8 weeks. YAY SLEEP.
It's easier to hate my life less with full sleep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Indeed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am arguing with someone at work about how part of our technology works. I am not 100% sure I am right, but the real issue is THERE IS NO ONE HERE I CAN ASK. Seriously. not one person (that would not be all "why do you want to know") that knows the technology stuff. GRR!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Presidentail press conference is making me want to beat my radio with a sledgehammer. The tone of voice, the petulance. Ugh.
ION Travelocity tells me they can get me to San Francisco and back for $177. So freaking tempting.

Uh, it's not that fascinating.
Anyway, in my campus apartment, we had a toaster with no sproing. Being college students, a lot of our appliances lacked their respective sproing. This was fine, because we were all aware of these shortcomings and worked around them. Except T. T couldn't cook. T ruined many a pan. T was incredibly absentminded.
She decided to toast a sesame bagel, one of the freebies from my job. I heard the other roommate remind her the toaster was broken, so pay attention to it.
Some good chunk of time later, we hear a bunch of little popping sounds, like minipopcorn. A little after that T lets out a shriek. The popping was the sesame seeds. B&I rush to the kitchen an there are these huge flames dancing out of the toaster. It was really kinda cool. B grabs the baking soda, I pull the plug, B discovers the baking soda has caked into a brick.
So T does the next best thing: she throws the flaming toaster out the kitchen window.
Just as a group of visitors comes down the walk (I'm not sure if they were guests or prospective students. If the latter, AWESOME.) They react as one would to a flaming toaster chucked in your direction.
Anyway, that's the story.

The status is NOT quo.
Some of the Fark LOLPresidents are incredibly offensive (how shocking), but a few of them made me laugh a lot. My favorites:
- Bush/Cheney: "I wish I could quit you."
- Washington: "Im crossin the delawarez to kill ur doodz."
- Gore: "I has a prezidency. Nooo! Dey be stealin my prezidency!"
- Bush: "I'm in ur countryz destroyin ur foreign relashuns."
- Bush: "I has a budget. Nooo! Dey be stealin my budget!"
I can't link to individual pictures, or I would. The pictures are what make them really funny.
