Toaster from the Pit

[primsong]

My daughter's roomie has furnished their kitchen with a pink and white Hello Kitty toaster, complete with a large raised image of Kitty herself, pink bow and all. The roomie hates it, she said - it was a gift, and it toasts the image of Hello Kitty onto the toast.

"That sounds like a cute idea," I offered.

"Ah, but it only toasts the image of the Kitty! This means the rest of your bread isn't really toasted except the kitty part, so if you want your toast actually toasted you have to turn it way up, which means the Hello Kitty is burnt into it. At that point it sort of spreads and blackens and you end up with toast that appears to have this creepy black demon kitty emblazoned across it."

"Oh..."

"She calls it the Hell Kitty toaster."

I'm sort of reminded of the point in my student life where we were reduced to making "toast" by burning bread on one of those little one-ring hotplate-type-gadgets. Literally burning it. That was during my second year at university, which was sort of the rock bottom as far as student lifestyle stuff was concerned - sort of like Withnail and I without the clever dialogue, but I have a suspicion that only we males allow ourselves to fall into quite that degree of degradation while in the course of pursuing a higher education... Ah, what I wouldn't give to be back there now... :-D
