Bwana says baseball history may be made tonight as Tom Glavine goes for win #300 at Miller Park in Milwaukee. Only 22 other pitchers have ever reached that plateau. Toaster can’t wait for the game.
But only because he wants to watch the Sausage Race:

rrgirl writes in Merengue Meringue Night!:
maybe Toaster needs to begin with a nice beguine…these kids made it through without tripping or falling off stage:
though they have a ways to go before they make it look easy:
Maybe Bwana will send Toaster to dance class so he can learn to waltz around the bases for the next Mr. Met Dash.

And if Kenny Mayne gets to be on Dancing with the Stars, then we don’t see why Toaster couldn’t do it, too.

Toaster is mad at Bwana.
He wanted to do the Mr. Met Dash today at Shea Stadium, but with rain in the forecast Bwana decided he didn’t want Toaster to get wet and possibly rust. Plus Toaster is so small he usually gets trampled by a toddler jacked up after eating ice cream, soda, and cotton candy all day at the ballpark
A good command decision by Bwana.

Toaster really wanted to go to Merengue Night at Shea Stadium last night, but Bwana was too busy to take him. Bwanette made him some meringue instead. He doesn’t really know the difference.

This from an old Calvin and Hobbes comic str, on the magic of toasters:
Calvin: Wanna see something weird? Watch. You put bread in this slot and push down this lever… then in a few minutes, toast pops up!
Hobbes: Wow. Where does the bread go?
Calvin: Beats me. Isn’t that weird?
Toaster loves magic. He read all about Houdini. Bwana got him all sorts of magic tricks and Toaster tried many of them out. I nixed the idea for the Sawing The Mattress In Half trick.
Toaster worked very hard on the Pulling A Rabbit Out Of The Hat trick. He tried and tried and tried, but the only thing that ever came out was toast.

Bwana won’t let Toaster answer the phone. He says Toaster never does it the right way, plus he never gets the message right.

On Toaster in Film:
Toaster thinks he’d be good in the next Fantastic Four movie. The Silver Surfer is pretty neat-o but I think people will much prefer the Titanium Toaster:
An added benefit is that he can be in a movie with Jessica Alba. Toaster thinks she’s very pretty. Uncle DP can interview them on his new show. Bwana won’t be able to make any comments, though, in light of the Bwanette Situation.

A great moment in the history of the toaster in film.
Wow! Neat-o!
Toaster would love to be in a movie.
But is anyone interested in a tale about an unprejudiced heart?
Like anything these days, it’s the profane that gets noticed.
Naked Toaster is like the Paris Hilton of toasters:
That’s way too much exposure.
Our Toaster prefers the quiet life of serving in Bwana’s household.

Sheila wrote in Cheerie-o Crumpets:
I was very impressed with Bwana’s thoughts on how the ‘Harry Potter’ saga will end.
He must have read the Books thoroughly to know so much about ‘Harry Potter’.
Has he been reading the Books to Toaster?
Bwana reads a lot of stuff and he does his best to give Toaster a diverse literary experience. But the first Harry Potter book scared Toaster crumb-less. He enjoyed parts of it, but other parts were way too scarey for him.
Toaster much prefers it for Bwana to read him The Piggie Book. It goes with Toaster’s favorite movie.

Quanlin contributes to the advancement of the mattress-human relationship in Titanium Toaster:
Did Mattress see this?
An Emotional Connection Between Sleeper and Mattress
No, I hadn’t seen it. Many thanks for passing along the information!
It’s very common for mattresses to develop an emotional attachment to their humans. Hotel/motel mattresses tend to have more of a one-night-stand mindset; it comes with the territory. But the rest of us have a sense of loyalty to our people.
Small appliances, in general, remain quite detached and even aloof from their humans. But Toaster, as you have likely learned, is not your typical small appliance. He has a very deep emotional attachment to Bwana. It’s been like this pretty much ever since Bwana brought him home from the store and took him out of the box. When Bwana goes out of town we have to play old Countdown and SportsCenter video clips, otherwise Toaster gets terribly depressed. He’s never truly grasped the concept of object permanence.
