I ran across this post at Anne's blog which has inspired another post about: Toast! If any of you live or lived in Indiana (as I once did), or live in a city that has the syndicated Bob & Tom Show on the morning radio, you may have hear of Heywood Banks. This one man has done more for the promotion of toast than anyone except toaster manufacturers and bread bakers with his song about toast. Either way, remeber this the next time you eat breakfast.
"Toast" by Heywood Banks
All around the country and coast to coast
People always say, "what do you like most?"
I don’t want to brag, I don’t want to boast
I always tell ‘em, "I like toast."
YEAH, TOAST!!
YEAH, TOAST!!
I get up in the morning ‘bout six A.M.
Have a little jelly, have a little jam
Take a piece of bread, put it in the slot
Push down the lever and the wires get hot,
I get toast.
YEAH, TOAST!
YEAH, TOAST!
Now, there’s no secret to toasting perfection
There’s a dial on the side and you make your selection
Push to the dark or the light and then
If it pops too soon, press down again
Make toast.
YEAH, TOAST!
YEAH, TOAST!
When the first caveman drove in from the drags
Didn’t know what would go with the bacon and the eggs
Must have met a genius, got it in his head
Plug the toaster in the wall, buy a bag of bread
Make toast.
YEAH, TOAST!
YEAH, TOAST!
Oui Monsieur, bonjour coquette,
Une croissant? Et vous auvent?
Maurice Chevalier, Eiffel Tower,
Oui Marie, baguette, bonsoir!
FRENCH TOAST!
FRENCH TOAST!
In Chicago or (fill in location).....TOAST!!!!
Here's the animated version.

Car update: The insurance adjuster called and said that my car is repairable. The repair shop said that it is repairable, but it could have been a total loss as the car is 9 years old. I'm so relieved that it can be repaired. Although the prospect of a new car is always exciting, the reason for it this time would not make it a joyous event. I'm glad I'll be able to have this one for hopefully five or more years.
Its not that I am particularly fond of a Honda Accord, but it is paid for and I'm cheap. Why buy something new when the one you have works? I have also wanted to see how many miles I could get on it before it breaks down on its own. A friend of mine has one with over 300K miles. It looks like crap, and it won't die. I also started looking a new cars earlier in the week just in case. I'm not too impressed with what's out there that would make a suitable replacement. The one I really want (Mini Cooper) is going to get some upgrades later this year. The Honda Civic, the practical replacement, doesn't offer much more that my Accord, except better gas mileage.
That is all.

I came across this blogger while surfing this morning, The Masturbatrix. She has three blogs,
Diary of a Phone Sex Madame, A Woman with a Male Masturbation Fetish, and Orgasm Denial Games. After reading some of the blogs, this woman really knows and understands people who call phone sex lines. I'll have to give her a try sometime.
I admit that I'm a phone sex caller. I started when I was in my 4th year of college (I went for five). I was living in a single dorm room. I masturbated plenty in college, and even more so when I had a single room. I would "read" the adult magazines and was curious about the phone sex advertisements in them. I called a few, and, not really knowing what to do, hung up after a few minutes.
I didn't do any more of that until after I graduated from college, got a job and moved to another state. One of the magazines had an ad for a phone service that originated in the city where I went to college, and it was relatively cheap compared to a lot of the others. I was sooo nervous when I called the first time. I remember sitting on the floor of my apartment (the furniture hadn't arrived yet) naked. I told the girl my name and she told me hers. We chit-chatted a while, all the time I was stroking it. Just hearing her voice made me hard and excited - she really didn't' need to moan and groan, but we did as that's what I thought I was supposed to do. I don't remember much more about it other than the feeling of exhilaration caused by "exposing" myself to another person while masturbating. It was such a thrill. Even to this day, that's what makes the calls so very satisfying - its revealing myself to another in such an intimate way.
Over the years that I lived in that apartment, I called many different lines. Some were just plain lousy and I never called them back. Others were excellent, and didn't stay around too long for some reason. The one I mentioned in the previous paragraph is one of them (e-mail me if you want the number. I'd post a link, but they don't have a website). Anymore, there is just that line and one other that I call. Both services offer consistently great women to talk to. I just wish that the women would stay at these places longer. It seems that just as I get to know and enjoy a particular woman, she's gone.
I don't call so much anymore as my SO takes care of a lot of those needs now. I only call them when I'm alone, either at home or if I'm traveling. I don't call them every time I masturbate, mostly just when I need a big tension release or am lonely. Its a way to combine all of my interests (crossdressing, submission, humiliation) into a focused time. Again, its still not so much about how she talks, its more the revealing of myself that's the biggest turn on.

I'm that jackass....
You know when your driving down the highway and you see that traffic is starting to slow down, and eventually you see that there's an accident. Well, I'm that jackass that caused one yesterday. I still can't believe that I did such a stupid thing. I've never had an accident before - causing or receiving. I'm driving up the on-ramp and I see the cars in front of me also going up it. I look over my left shoulder to check for on-coming traffic, look to the front, and slam on the brakes - BAM! I hit the guy in front of me. We're both okay, no injuries.
His car was 10 days old. My cars was 9 years old, about 89K miles on it, and I just bought new tires and all new drive belts. I wanted to keep it for another few years, at least to 100K. The repair shop said it might cost $5K to fix, and that's about the Blue Book value of it.
I think the worst part of this is that I'm the cause of it. I've inconvenienced the guy in front of me, his family, the tow truck operator, the police officers, the EMS guys, my family, the insurance company. Not just last night, but for a while. I've let these people down due to my own stupidity. And I'll pay for it - my insurance will go up, I've either have to fix my car (if it doesn't get totalled) or I now have to buy a new car.
Emotionally I feel awful. I replay what happened in my head and think that if I had just done something different - left work earlier or later, taken a different route, swerved instead of slam on the brakes. I'm generally not an irresponsible person. But I've done this irresponsible act.

I don't usually talk about politics, and I'm going to make this one exception. The President is going to address the nation about a troop "surge". Okay. Let me think about this one.
Let's look at it from the insurgents point of view: "Bush tells me that he's going to send 20,000 more troops to kill me and my friends. Hmmm." The smart insurgent might think "It won't happen overnight, so I'll just hop in my car/truck/sandals and make my way out of the area/country until the troops arrive, let the martyrs fight, and then come back once they leave to fight again." The martyr insurgent might think "Here's my chance to die for my people/religion/tribe. I'll go to the war zone (if I'm not already in it) and just let loose on anything that's not in my group. Body counts don't matter much to my insurgent leadership. In fact, they want me to die fighting. None of them are going to be on the wrong end of a political backlash the way it happens in America. We have no Congress to threaten a funding cut. Its just a free-for-all for us insurgents."
Either way, tipping his hat to the other side is no way to reach his objective, IMO. I mean, why are the insurgents as successfull as they are?: They don't broadcast their plans weeks in advance. If the US wants to hit them hard, do it by suprise.
Maybe I'm way off base thinking this. Someone tell me so if I am. I do support our troops, and every death (ours or theirs) is a failure on both side's.
That is all,

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!
That's my reaction to:
a) The Buckeye's offensive line falling apart last night.
b) The Buckeye's defense falling apart last night.
c) The Buckeyes failing to adapt to Florida's game.
d) The inability of the Buckeye's coaching staff to try something different once Florida figured out that OSU would just keep using the same old plays possession after possession.
e) The frustration I'm feeling as I'm considering getting the cable company's cable TV, internet, and phone service since Verizon refuses to extend service into my neighborhood.
If you picked all of the above, you're right! I can't believe how they fell apart last night. It was almost too painful to watch. If it were a closer game, I wouldn't feel so bad for the team. What happened? The news reports I read this morning didn't have too much to say about the players' and coaches' thoughts and reactions to the game. I'm sure there will be more as the week progresses. On the bright side, they did have a perfect regular season, won outright the Big Ten title, and Troy Smith won the Heisman Trophy. That's a lot to be proud of. They are losers only if they allow this to get the best of them.
Oh, and I really am frustrated with my internet options. Verizon won't run DSL to my neighborhood ("It's too far between switching stations. It's in our 10-year plan."). And I've always regarded the cable company as the Fourth Axis of Evil. But. Going with their TV/internet/phone plan for $99/month for a 2-year agreement is almost absurd to pass up. Its cheaper that those services separately. I just have to figure out where I can mount the modem/router in my house. I'm thinking of setting up a wireless system as there is no cable near where I have the computer. The engineer in me wants to lay it all out, but I should just let the installer figure it out.
