We all live another day

Disaster narrowly averted thanks to quick thinking and plastic tongs!


What kind of "disaster" can be dealt with using plastic tongs?


Today's Sametime Status deals with my latest encounter with the source of all evil.


Rush Limbaugh?


Worse. You all remember The Famed Toaster of Hades, right? Well, it tried to strike again with a vengeance the world has never seen. It tried to burn my bagel!


No! What happened?


You know how the bagel is supposed to ride on a chain-like conveyor, then drop off and slide down a chute at the end? Well, the bagel's center of gravity was off or something, and it got stuck on the chute...still holding on to the chain...as shown in this dramatic recreation:


Noticing the upcoming preemptive strike, I quickly grabbed the nearby plastic tongs, reached up inside the toaster and freed my bagel before it burst into flames. Victory was mine this day!


Stay alert...there will surely be other battles to fight.
