Natural -> Artificial by Darkaardvark
February 1st, 2008 9:33 PMNatural (biological) version:
Mysteriously, places a bottle of wine or other spirits and a rose on Poe's grave each year on Poe's birthday. Identity unknown, though some have come forward claiming to be the Poe Toaster.
Artificial (mechanical) version:
Mysteriously, toasts a piece of bread or other carbohydrate product in the toaster each year on the Earl of Sandwich's birthday. Origin unknown, though some toaster companies have claimed credit for the Poe Toaster.
I was going to sell the toast to an internet-casino on eBay, but it looked delicious and so I ate it instead. If, however, the Poe Toaster decides to pop out a Virgin Mary, it may be sold.
Poe, Toasted
But by who?
The Poe Toaster?
We may never know.
The Poe Toaster?
So he claims.
Poe Toast
With peanut butter!
The Poe Toaster
Hmmm. Mysterious.
Quoth the Raven
Nevertoast.
Similarities
Okay, this is a crow, but it's in the pose that the toast reminds me of. I couldn't find a raven in that pose, but the toast is clearly a raven.

My favorite answer to that riddle:
'Because they both ought to be made to shut up'
That is to say, for the desk, fold up, at the risk of stating the obvious
I've always favored "Because they are both NEVAR put the wrong way forwards."
Which I like primarily because trying to apply it to the writing desk makes no sense whatsoever.
I've always wanted to toast at Poe's.
And where'd you get that awesome pull-out toaster? I've never seen a drawer toaster before. Somehow it seemed particularly fitting... like you'd only pull it out on a special occasion like the Earl of Sandwich's birthday, anyway.
Vote for that and for this:
More toast art!!
It looks more like an emu than a raven...
"...Is that a raven?...Oh my God..."
You sir, just won the internet. Congrats.
I'm assuming it'll be mailed to me? 6-8 weeks for delivery, right?
That's really sad. That seems symbolic of the death of civility, or something. Sad sad sad.
as a baltimore goff, i hope next year is full of multiple ninja gift-giving hijinks. but it still won't be the same.
Ah, but does its toast in any way resemble a writing desk?
