Noew here's something disturbing. After waking at about 7:00am (an
ungodly hour for the holidays) the other morning, I was fixing myself a
nice golden brown peice of toast when I happened to cast a sideways glance
at the toaster. A nice, friendly high tech toaster, owned by my
grandparents, and very fasionable. Black with red trim, and beautifully
chromed baking area. Very nice. Well, as I was saying, I glanced down at
it and noticed something I'd never seen before. At the lower right hand
corner of the side panel (just below the little heat adjuster knobby)
there's the name of the manufacturer: Maxim. Of course, I went through
various forms of palpatations ("IT'S REAL! IT'S REAL DAMMIT! I ALWAYS KNEW
IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE FALSE!" through to "OH MY LORD! I'VE BEEN AWAY FROM
SHADOWTK TOO LONG! MY BRAIN! MY BRAAAAIIIN!"). All to be summed up in one
word: Disturbing. =)


And speaking of toasters: You may not know it yet, but there's a new Red
Dwarf book out, called "The last Human". I bought it. Don't make my
mistake. It's evil. Rimmer dies. For most of the thing you aren't
laughing, you're just saying "Oh God! Why did they do this? Why? What sins
has world commited?". It's just evil on overdrive. I'm hoping they're
gonna pull an Alien^3 with it... *prays*

And speaking of Alien: Alien 4 just went into production... =)
