> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Rue DeDay_ > Ha! Swampy, shows what you know. The toaster is not by the sink. That’s where I keep the blender full of daiquiris. The toaster stays by the steak knives. Hmmmmm…so that explains why **Katcha** talks like Tarzan. He’s been sneaking sips of Daddy’s special “fruit smoothies.” ---

I left two slices of delicious fresh sourdough bread in my oven for 2 days. They were used for croutons in the leek potato soup I made shortly after finding them. Wow, it felt good to get that off my chest. Oh, and I make a mean leek potato soup. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rue DeDay \* > \*\*[ **Scout** , there is sort of a joke there. But as you can see, with the explaination it takes, it’s not really what you’d call a _good_ joke. > Of course you know 666 is the Number of the Beast. Very bad. So, of course, Beelzebub uses it in his home phone number. The exchange is simple, it’s only three numbers. But the other part is four. So what do I do? I break the last “6” into the Roman “VI”. On the phone pad it’s “8” and “4”. So the second “666” is “66VI”. > > Not really a good joke, but I thought it was funny. Sorta. And since I blamed it all on **Zap** anyway, I don’t have to take the heat for it. > \*\* Well, it’s freakin’ hilarious the way I tell it. You’re just doing it wrong, **Rue**. And why would I want you dead? Sheesh, you totally misunderstood what I was saying. I mean would I kill the goose that lays the golden egg. . eh, I mean a Pal and Bosom Buddy as great as you? Come on! I wouldn’t kill you while I’m working on the action figure deal and trying to sell the movie rights to Paramount. You’re worth much more to me alive than dead. [sub]For now, anyway.

I’m the Devil, of course my clock is damned.** I dunno. I think **cagiva’s** toasters sound like they’re possessed. Is being possessed different from being damned? (Are you guys running some kind of allegory about the soul as a small appliance? I think I feel some sympathy for the blender.) ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by **The Story Guy** : > **Ex** , not only do I have to pick up my socks, I have to make sure they get in the hamper. And I’m usually the one to do the laundry. (How’s that? A good enough bone?) That’s a nice meaty bone. Thanks. I’m “Laundry Guy” around here, too, but I don’t like to admit it. I’m confused, though. What’s a “hamper?” I assume from the context that it’s some sort of dirty-laundry storage device. I use a thing called a “floor.” Is a “hamper” difficult to operate? Is it expensive to purchase? Where could I get one? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/some-old-toast/105527.md?page=1)
