That’s awesome for Toaster! I found this on the Pittsburgh Pirates kids website: Baseball Basics: Lingo
Now I can see where Uncle Dan gets some of his phraseology.
Toaster doesn’t understand why people sometimes use the word “toast” in a bad way, as in “He’s toast.”
Toast is something magical and wondrous. Not to mention full of nutrition.
Saying that someone is “toast” should mean something marvelous.

Oh, boy!
Tell us who your kids’ favorite current Mets player is and why, and 10 finalists will be selected to have their kids read their entries in front of SNY producers to see who gets to be the first SNY Kidcaster!
Bwana is going to write up a nice little piece for Toaster. Toaster already has great stage presence — he gets it from watching Bwana. The only thing is that Toaster will have to sit up on about five telephone books in order to see over the broadcast desk and reach the microphone.
And we have it on good authority that the SNY producers love toast ….

Toaster asks:
Where is Julia Child when you need her?
and Blue Velvet answers:
Julia is…here?
Toaster loves butter. Butter is his favorite!

Gee, whiz! Nothing goes better with oregano brie than toast!
The White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner: The Menu, The Details, The Hollywood Gossip:
Passed Appetizers:
Italian ‘Salad’ with Sopressato, Prosciutto Toscano, Oregano Brie, Spiced Olives, BreadsSalad:
Wild Watercress SaladEntree:
Petite Filet with Sundried TomatoesSides:
Seared Escolar with Olive Tapendade
Asparaugus, Cippolini, Green and Yellow Squash with Porcini Mushroom demi-glace
Oh, sure they had bread on the table. Bread is just raw toast. They should have had a toaster on every table so people could make toast on which they could have spread some oregano brie.
Hokey smokes. Where is Julia Child when you need her?

I hear Bwana is going to the ‘White House Corespondents Dinner’ tonight.
Is he bringing Toaster along so he can meet President Obama?
Toaster would have loved to have met the President, but when they got to the dinner he toddled into the kitchen. He begged and begged and begged the chef to serve Hot Buttered Toast as an appetizer. But the chef said that the menu was already set.
Dang.
Toaster was disappointed, but he had fun helping the staff fold napkins for the dinner:
So pretty!
He’s going to start folding Necktie Napkins at home for Bwana.
It’s almost as much fun as making origami boulders!

Happy Odd Day, Toaster!
Prepare to be awed by Odd Day.
For the mathematically challenged, today’s date, 5/7/09, is one of only six this century that will feature three consecutive odd numbers.
Neat-o!
Toaster loves numbers!
(He’s a Sabermetrics kind of small appliance.)
Last night the Mets did a 0-1-2-3:
We had a shutout, getting 1 run on 2 hits while giving up 3 hits.
A win for the Orange-and-Blue!!!
Still, it doesn’t seem nice for Johan to have to throw a shutout every time in order to have a chance to win ….
He’s 4-1 in 6 games with an ERA of 0.91 and a WHIP of 0.91.
How about scoring a few more runs for him, guys?

Toaster thinks this is sad:
Mets Limit Newspapers in Clubhouse:
Yesterday, the Boston Globe a simple sentence in a notes column that read, “The Mets removed New York newspapers from the clubhouse to get rid of negative vibes.”
Today, Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post adds, “The Mets consider their players’ psyches so fragile that they no longer provide copies of The Post or the other New York tabloid in their Citi Field clubhouse.”
According to Hubbuch, “A source said team management didn’t want the players exposed to the ‘bad vibes’ from the tabloids.’
How are the guys going to be able to read the comics if they can’t have newspapers in the clubhouse? And they won’t be able to do the crossword puzzles, either.
Geez, whiz ….

Toaster had no idea that a bird could run so fast:
Toaster has a new-found admiration for our avian buddies.

Bwana’s Yankees won yesterday. The Mets, Twinkies, and Indians all had the day off yesterday, so Toaster and Sheila were able to relax and step back from the ledge:
Everybody has night games tonight.
While he’s waiting, Toaster will play the Toaster Game that Blue Velvet so kindly told us about.
Whee! Toaster thinks it is a fun game. Maybe he will make Bwana and Bwanette run around and catch their breakfast toast. Aerobic exercise should be a part of everyone’s daily routine.
