I've just finished posting a couple of entries to bayban. These were supposed to be for June. Obviously I'm a little late, but I've decided to let June slop over into July a bit. It's simpler than messing about with the settings on my PIM--the one feature it doesn't have and desperately needs is a way to skip one iteration of a recurring task

A couple weeks ago the microwave went BRRZZZZAAPP! and smelled like burnt insulation- it kept miking although making weird pathetic scary noises, but when the toaster lost the abiltiy to toast both sides of a piece of bread that totally destroyed our eating habits, so bro went out & got both a mike & a toaster. The toaster has a blue glowing light, and the microwave runs words across a little screen telling you what to do--- push this button NOW, no, stupid, not THAT button, This Button! Ok, your food is ready, come and get it!

We're *this* close to a talking toaster, I can tell.

If it offers me toasted bread products of any kind, I shall send it straight to Avon!

You have seen Red Dwarf, right?

[mistraltoes]

Several times through, but I've apparently forgotten something important--the only appliance I remember is the Talkie Toaster.

(Eh. Something weird going on in the comments tonight. More conspiracy, I tell you!)

I was asking entropy_house since she mentioned one. :-)

[mistraltoes]

Yes. :) This disappearing comment tag is amusing, though. At least it only seems confusing, and doesn't stay that way.

[entropy_house]

Yes, I've seen *some* of Red Dwarf. After a few seasons I lost interest, but I did see the Talking Toaster, and rather felt sorry for it. It was annoying, but it was only trying to please. :^)

So were the doors in HHGTTG. Smart appliances will have to have conversational settings.

Or come with complimentary earplugs.
