Mel Gibson likes to "choke the toaster" in the morning

Eve · #1 10-13-2006, 08:05 AM

From the IMDB "news" site:

Quote:

The star admits he has always had to battle to suppress an inexplicable inner rage, saying, "I've been angry all my life... and I try not to have it manifest itself. I can get really mad... I can murder inanimate objects. You should see me choking the toaster in the morning."

Ummm, that's OK, no thanks, Mel . . .

twickster · #2 10-13-2006, 08:11 AM

Well, that mental image shoots my morning all to hell...

silenus · #3 10-13-2006, 08:11 AM

I've been known to choke the chicken in the morning, but never the toaster.....

ScareyFaerie · #4 10-13-2006, 08:13 AM

Oh, please...have a little consideration, I've just eaten!

CalMeacham · #5 10-13-2006, 08:18 AM

I don't get it. I could see you choking Mr. Coffee. Or a mop. But your average toaster hasn't got much of a neck. Most peoplec are content to throw the toaster.

What Exit? · #6 10-13-2006, 08:21 AM

Here I thought "Choke the Toaster" was some eccentric euphemism for jerking-off and it turns out, he actually enjoys asphyxiating kitchen appliances. How do you find the neck on a toaster? Maybe he should try choking the blended and drop kicking the toaster. I think it would work much better. Now I am wondering if maybe he just needs a punching bag in the kitchen.

OK, I'll say it:

Once, in a fit of rage, (Yes, drunken rage) in college, I ripped the communal toaster out of the wal and flung it into the drainage ditch next to our dorm. My actions were greeted by loud applause, but Diane Sawyer didn't come to ask me about it.

What's life for if not to take out rage on kitchen appliances?

I predict that "I choking your toaster" will be the next SDMB catchphrase.

Personally, I think that Gibson is a loon. When I experience my daily morning rage, I kick my shower's ass. Then I punch my mattress in the balls.

My friend flew with him on an intercontinental flight. He's an alcoholic who works hard to control it and that leads to some eccentric behaviours.

Eve · #11 10-13-2006, 09:16 AM

Well, you know, toasters are responsible for all the wars in the world . ..

He's also been seen stumping for Alcoholics Anonymous - which it is written in their bylaws not to be endorsed by anyone or organization...

That's been regularly disregarded by government for ages. They're always stumping for AA.

Lightray · #16 10-13-2006, 10:23 AM

Wow, my mother at least warned us about sticking knives into the toaster (to pry out wedged-in toast).

You'd think Mel's mother would've at least mentioned "Mel! Stop sticking that into the toaster! You'll short something out and electricute yourself!"

I can't be the only one that read the title and thought Gibson was getting kinky with a Cylon....

Little Nemo · #19 10-13-2006, 10:55 AM

Beating up a toaster is just strange. What was disturbing was the way Mel kept screaming "ADMIT THE TRUTH! YOUR REAL NAME IS TOASTEIN!"

I think maybe you were the only one. What am I missing?

I am curious, wasn't Mel more normal when he was a fulltime drunk? Now he is as strange as a scientologist.

If he doesnt have a toaster, how is he going to cook his stupid food for breakfast?

In the new Battlestar Galactica show, "toaster" is a derogatory term for a Cylon.

"Sunbeam...? Liar...LIAR!!! Admit it...you're real name is Sunstein. You're real name is SUN-STEIN!!!!"

Thank Og I'm not the only one who can see him red-faced and screaming, arguing with his toaster. (And the toaster winning the argument!

)

Duckster · #25 10-13-2006, 01:24 PM

I wonder if he does it alone or with the help of some pop tart?

"What are you lookin' at, Toaster Tits?" Just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

Except for the War of 1812. That was started by a cappucino machine.

I'm torn between a "gesundheit" joke and a "Petkachu! I choose you!" joke...

Oh, he was always wound up a couple of turns too tight, it's just that now he has the resources to act out his brainstorms.

Man, that's got to be one brave little toaster....

Is "milking the chimp" okay?

According to NC State's Technician, the correct form is "polishing the bishop."

(Of course you would know that their online archives don't go back that far...so no link.)
