arcane Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 How shall we celebrate the patenting of the pop-up toaster on May 29? From http://www.toaster.org/1920.html : The First Pop-up Toaster During World War I, a master mechanic in a plant in Stillwater, Minnesota decided to do something about the burnt toast served in the company cafeteria. To circumvent the need for continual human attention, Charles Strite incorporated springs and a variable timer, and filed the patent for his pop-up toaster on May 29, 1919.

doubleB Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 I saw that ad as well. It will be interesting to see if that show is indeed on at the Merc this Wed. I do hope so as that show sounded interesting... If it is on, it will be the last. At least until I can weasle myself in with whoever is running that show now... this celebration has lost its appeal for me.... have fun kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleB Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 What a relief! I was afraid I wouldn't have any reason to get drunk on Wednesday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 OK, we've got a reason to get toasty, all we need now is an event. What's happening on Wednesday? Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Man, I love being alive! There's ALWAYS cause for celebration and parties! I say we toaster it up real good on Wednesday. So good in fact that all we can eat for the next three days is....you guessed it....TOAST!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 I just checked The Mercury, and they list: quote: LAL Wednesday, May 29 Based in Toronto's Electronic music scene LAL will be showcasing their unique world/electronic and broken beat styles. danielle duval, local Montrealer, will be in the night with some acoustic soul, with splashes of funk, jazz and hip hop beats. As an alternative event, how about we find some open stage thing or karaoke bar, bring along the toaster, and make music ourselves? Or, we could just sit around and do the traditional Toaster Night things: sing toaster carols, open our toaster presents, watch "The Night Black & Decker Stole Toastmas"...
