Toast art and fashion.

  • All I know is that if I was a Kiwi, I'd be petitioning toastman to quit calling himself New Zealands most renown artist. Kinda embarrassing, no? Unless of course it's true, in which case it's really embarrassing.
  • I'm calling double-post on you. But it was a very old post (relatively speaking) so it's okay. And Keith, I'd never heard of him before the November post, so my nationalistic hubris can remain unsullied. :)
  • yeah but it was the *first* time i saw it, so it's okay. ;) mmmmmm delicious toast . . . so warm and crunchy. And it's the perfect place for jelly to lay.
  • I'm trying to think of a better meal than hot, buttery toast (BESIDES POP-TARTS OF COURSE) and I just cannot. Well. Maybe bagels and novy with a shmear, and a few nice capers and a little chopped onion. But that is IT. FINITO.
  • And maybe bacon.
  • "I'm trying to think of a better meal than hot, buttery toast (BESIDES POP-TARTS OF COURSE) and I just cannot." Think harder. Do ramen noodles not exist in your world?
  • Let me re-phrase: "...a better MORNING meal than..." And, hey--- What is...this..."rah-mi-n" you speak of?
  • Ramen might be a meal, but no one ever said it was a good one. My vote's for crumpets as the most wonderful hot- buttered-bread-products, other than actual fresh bread, of course. No other bread is better than fresh bread.
  • A double toast? Bugger. *hangs head in shame*
  • jb I'm ashamed to admit I've never tasted crumpets before, even though I've been to your lovely country several times... Is there a place/brand of commercialy produced product you can recommend that is available in the North East US? And do I put clotted cream, or jam, etc on them? Please advise. I need a new fetish.
  • These look tasty, although I don't know what's going on with this different flavours and putting anything other than butter on them crap. That's unorthodox, not to say deviant. Oh, and you're not the only one who's looking. Mmmm. Crumpets... *off to the shop. 'tis a good fetish*
  • Unless of course it's true, in which case it's really embarrassing. I'd be more embarrassed by not knowing where Peter Jackson, Jane Campion, Colin MacCahon, Split Enz, and Mike Nock came from, but I'm perverse like that.
  • I admit I don't know who Mike Nock is. *looks* Ah, I'm not much of a jazz aficionado. Should learn more about it. You forgot Sam Neill, by the way. And there's some semi-decent rock-type bands coming out lately such as Blindspott, Zed and Pacifier.
  • How about Katherine Mansfield?
  • Ngaio Marsh?
  • Russ Crowe and Janet Frame gettin' it on in a Ford Anglia!
  • mmm, Anglia. I personally would prefer not to acknowledge Russell Crowe. Jeff and Martin sure, but not their cousin. He can't even play cricket! And of course Janet Frame. I apparently take my fellow geniuses (genii?) for granted.
  • I apparently take my fellow geniuses (genii?) for granted. Genius much?
  • All. The. Time.
  • Well, as I can see from the bevy of comments, Monkeys are interested in pop tarts. Perhaps coming over here will give them more ways to extend the meme. I'm also hopeful that toaster posts and toaster posters continue to proliferate. Or at least the use of the term, "toaster poster." I'm calling double-post on you. But it was a very old post (relatively speaking) so it's okay. And yet Tracicle, the journey is long. So very, very long.
