Toaster Intensity Pointless Poll

[Adrian II]

I learn more about people from these threads than from reading them bark at each other in the backroom.

I found it amazing that some of our battle-hardened samurai, knights and centurions apparently still live with their moms 'n dads. As for those who regularly find themselves engaged in Toaster Battles, I can only say I must be doing something right since my significant other more often than not makes my toast for me. Maybe it's because little gestures like that bring out the best in me. I prefer to think it's something in my voice, a semblance of respectability that I am appararently able to maintain even while prancing about the house in an advanced state of undress.

My house has had probably a half-dozen different toasters over the years.

Yes, most of them have a tendency to burn themselves out, short-circuit or lose control of their spring mechanism, resulting in fly-by toast or charcoal configurations that would easily make it through the final selection for any postmodern art exposition.

However, this little baby has been designed by Herr Doktor Siemens himself with the intention to last his clientele a lifetime:



It is the Toaster Polti Easy Brunch 2000, according to Herr Doktor a toaster of eleganter Design in dem die viele Zweckdienlichkeiten ein perfektes Gleichgewicht finden. Jawohl!

You will forgive me for not labouring the unspeakable things your older brother does to his morning toast. Suffice it to say that where I live butter does not come in spray cans. People have been hanged for less.
