Thread: Achieved status as Persona non grata on Thai Visa !!!!

Obviously, a Bang & Olafson toaster.

But pleeze.....don't forget the humble crumpet toaster !
What is good for the toast does not necessarily render the crumpet to the golden brown state of culinary crispness.

For my money, the Dualit combi would accommodate all my toasting needs
However care needs to be taken not to get the Gecko shit in the holes in the crumpet.

I would like to confirm that the Geko offering is more to the mouse than the bird.

Did Frank Zappa ever tackle this subject ??

Can you buy crumpets in Thailand?

the dangerous kitchen


The dangerous kitchen
If it ain't one thing it's another
In the middle of the night when you get home
The bread things are all dry 'n' scratchy
The meat things
Where the cats ate through the paper
The can things with the sharp little edges
That can cut your fingers when you're not looking
The soft little things on the floor that you step on
They can all be DANGEROUS
Sometimes the milk can hurt you
(If you put it on your cereal
Before you smell the plastic container)
And the stuff in the strainer
Has a mind of its own
So be very careful
In the dangerous kitchen
When the night time has fallen,
And the roaches are crawlin'
In the kitchen of danger
You can feel like a stranger
The bananas are black
They got flies in the back
And also the chicken
In the dish with the foil
Where the cream is all clabbered
And the salad is frightful
Your return in the evening
Can be less than delightful
You must walk very careful
You must not lean against it
It can get on your clothing
It can follow you in
As you walk to the bedroom
And you take all your clothes off
While you're sleeping
It crawls off
It gets in your bed
It could get on your face then
It could eat your complexion
You could die from the danger
Of the dangerous kitchen
Who the fuck wants to clean it?
It's disgusting and dirty
The sponge on the drainer
Is stinky and squirty
If you squeeze it when you wipe up
What you get on your hands then
Could un-balance your glands and
Make you blind or whatever
In the dangerous kitchen

Arcade Fire "Yeah Toast!"

All around the country and coast
People always say, "What do you like most?"
I don't want to brag, I don't want to boast
I always tell them that I like toast

Yeah, toast!
Yeah, toast!

I get up in the morning about 6 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 dregs
Didn't know what would go with a bacon and an egg
Must have been 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
Uh huh croissant et vous
Maurice Eiffel Tower
Oui Marie baguette bonsoir

French toast!
French toast!

In Chicago on the Bob and Tom show

Yeah, toast!
Toast

are them songs supposed to be in any way amusing?

because they are not.

^^Much more amusing than just another boring Thai Visa ostracization lament.

^ Agreed. I love the way threads metamorphose on TD. BJ's turn into sinks & toothbrushes. TV angst turns into the uses of lizard shit! Exactly the way it should be.

i almost had my balls about to be cut off by thaivisa, they offer a free service did you know?

Muffin Man?
The muffin man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the utility muffin
Research kitchen... reaching for an oversized chrome spoon he gathers an
Intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and brushing his scapular aside
Procceds to dump these inside of his shirt...
He turns to us and speaks:

Some people like cupcakes better. I for one care less for them!

Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing
Anointment utensil he poots forths a quarter-ounce green rosette (oh ah yuk
Yuk... lets try that again...!) he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosette
Near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.
Later he says:

Some people... some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say
There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of gods grey
Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!

Girl you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin
He hung around till you found
That he didnt know nuthin

Girl you thought he was a man
But he only was a-puffin
No cries is heard in the night
As a result of him stuffin

Bruce fowler on trombone, napoleon murphy brock on tenor sax, and lead vocals,
Terry bozzio on drums, tom fowler on bass, denny walley on slide, george duke
On keyboards, captain beefheart on vocals, and soprano sax, and madness. thank
You very much for coming to the concert tonight. hope you enjoyed it. goodnight
Austin, texas, where ever you are.

The song is by Heywood Banks, Not Arcade Fire. And technically, it's just called "Toast".

The French verse isn't correct either, It should say.

"Oui monsieur bonjour coquette,
Unh hunh croissant et vous et vere,
Maurice Chevalier, Eiffel Tower,
Oui Marie, baguette Bonsoir!"

Friscofrankie your a legend!!

Still think that Muffin Man is the greatest example of Zappa's guitar skill in a commercially digestable offering.

Marmite - no, it was on a live album with Beefheart, Zappa & Co. that featured other contemporary statements of the Americana the the time - i.e. She's 200 years old and Poofters Froth Wyoming/plans ahead - if I remember rightly?????

Sad to think this higher form of art and culture was being snuffed out at the time by Disco!!
Back to the Toasters..............................

" Welllll I think I'm going to Montana sooon
Gonnnaa be a dental floss tycooon "

Zappa again. The man was a genius.

^^^ Think you are right Noodles. I just searched and come up with the lyrics. Not listened to much Arcade Fire actually so wouldn't know myself.

YEAH TOAST! Lyrics - by ARCADE FIRE : Lyrics And Songs

Think it's open source and not to be trusted.

Bastards.

Found a very similar post to yours here.

SongMeanings | lyrics | Arcade Fire - Yeah Toast!

1) This song is by Heywood Banks, and this transcription is from his performance on radio's The Bob and Tom Show. Not Arcade Fire. And technically, it's called "Toast".

2) The French verse isn't quite right. It's:

"Oui monsieur bonjour coquette,
Unh hunh croissant et vous et vere,
Maurice Chevalier, Eiffel Tower,
Oui Marie, baguette Bonsoir!"

^Must be where i garnered my knowledge on this subject from

Dunno how 'commercially digestible' it is; Not many lyrics, so it might pass, Yo' Mama is one of my favorite guitar sides of all time.

Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
She could do your laundry 'n' cook for you
Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
You're really kinda stupid 'n' ugly too
(verse repeats)

You ain't really made for bein' out in the street
Ain't much hope for a fool like you
'Cause if you play the game, you will get beat

Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
She could do your laundry 'n' cook for you
Maybe you should stay with yo' mama
You're really kinda stupid 'n ugly too
And
You should never smoke in pajamas
You might start a fire 'n' burn yer face
Maybe you'll return to Managua
You could go unnoticed in such a place
....Then,
Ten minutes of some of the best electric guitarYou're ever likely to hear.
....Then,
Repeat.

Lyrics are kinda cool too. Great song to romantically coon to your soon-to-be ex-Squeeze
