What I Want For Christmas, Part 1
Apr62009
See this?
It's Toast!
It’s toast.
It’s made with a Scan Toaster. You hook it up to computer, select an image, and hit toast, and it toasts your bread with that picture on it. No, I’m not kidding, go to Gizmodo and look.
Unfortunately at the moment it is not being produced, but someday this is what I’ll be printing my drafts on. I love toast.

“Vengeance is mine” Sayeth the Toast…
Sorry, I’m in a mood.

OMG … my Sweet Babou needs this.
This machine will be the toast of the town.

Oh my… and I thought the Darth Vader toaster my son wanted was interesting.
If you made it say “Bonjour”, would it be French toast?
*ducking and running*

Awesome: you write a draft, you celebrate with butter and jam. So what if you’re eating your words?

Imagine printing a sex scene on your toast… tht would really heat things up…

What a concept. Very Jasper Ffordesque.

Perfect for those of us who compulsively read while we eat…

What a boon to Rocky Horror Picture Show fans who have trouble remembering the lines!

Too bad that Ghostbusters already use the line, “This chick is toast!” otherwise you could have produced nifty promotional giveaways next time you vanquish an evil villainess.
Bet you could still sell first edition “toastings” on ebay. It worked for the image of the Virgin Mother on a sandwich… what I like to refer to as the Holy Grill.

Breakfast buy the book!
With appologies to that other site.

I know when you put out a new book or blog post we eat it up. But I didn’t think we’d ever be able to do it literally!

Very hott, as Miz Paris would say.

Slave Driver beat me to “eat your words”. You could choke on your own words. Or the good guy says to the bad alien-”you’re toast man”

Just think of how subtly you could shade in characters, subplots in the nooks and crannies. REAL muffin heroes. Very crunchy dialog.
Really, Jenny, you didn’t see all the pun ops inherent in this?

Get up every morning to wry toast. Or give a Pop Tart something intelligent to say. For once.

Just think of the ad space. Especially at conferences.
Or notes to teenagers. Of course for that you would need a time delay so that it only shows up at lunchtime.
Mama loves her little pookie.

Now you can write your toasts ON toast!

A toast the end of Wild Ride (couldn’t resist) Did you name Mary Alice – MAB, for Queen MAB?
On April 12, 2009 at 12:50 am Jenny said...
Nope. I named her Mary Imogen and called her MI. And everybody hated it. So then I went to Mary Alice, but I knew MA wasn’t going to cut it, either, so I needed a last name initial. And there was MAB at the front of the alphabet. So I took it.
