From the IMDB “news” site:
Ummm, that’s OK, no thanks, Mel . . .
Well, that mental image shoots my morning all to hell…
I’ve been known to choke the chicken in the morning, but never the toaster…
Oh, please…have a little consideration, I’ve just eaten!
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.
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.
Correct form:
Choking the chicken
Flogging the bishop
Tossing the toaster

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.
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…
The conspiracy unmasked.
Well, what are they going to do? Drown that sorrow?
I always thought it was “frappin’ the blender.”
That’s been regularly disregarded by government for ages. They’re always stumping for AA.
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…
Beating up a toaster is just strange. What was disturbing was the way Mel kept screaming “ADMIT THE TRUTH! YOUR REAL NAME IS TOASTEIN!”
What? 
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.
