I have an idea. I think it will work.

Okay, so the freecycle toaster thing didn't pan out. They lied and it's really a oven toaster, not a pop-up. So now I'm going to attempt trading it for a pop-up toaster. It shouldn't be too hard, because it really is a nice toaster. Anyway, I think I can trade a toaster for a toaster, if that one guy has now managed to trade a red paper clip

Shame I can't nominate you for a Darwin Award ahead of time. :)

You can use this to hold the button down. It's mostly not made of metal, so it won't be _too_ conductive, and it'll have plenty sticking up, so it should be pretty easy to knock off after your experiment is complete.

Ok, I noticed a combination of "Lola Rennt" icon, decent name, and amusing comment in Mactavish's journal, and, since I'm in a vaguely perusal mood, I decided to see if you were interesting. So, basically, that's how I got here. Now...

Can I just say that this is possibly the best plan for anything, ever concieved? If I actually knew you worth a whit and lived even remotely close to you, I'd beg to be there when this happened. As it stands, I wish you the best of luck, and I'm adding you to my friends list, if only to see any updates on this. Plus, apparently you're a really fun journal, judging by this tiny sample. :)

I'm going to add you back.

Yeah, I'm still looking for a pop-up toaster. I need to put an ad on craigslist, "Willing to trade really, nice big oven toaster for any working pop-up toaster" I vow to accomplish this one day and to make a video of it. I also vow to never let that video fall into the hands of a Korean. Mostly because the last Korean (my friend's roommate) became obsessed with the Potted Meat movie then moved back to Korea, before the semester ended, and took the movie with him. It's probably a cult classic on late-night Korean tv.

Wow, that was fast. I guess you can ignore the second half of my other comment then.:) And while your loss to Korean late night TV is tragic, I think a documentary entitled "The Secrets of the Lost Potted Meat Movie" or some such, would be excellent, whether or not that was the actual topic.
