Toast Is Love: Cats ask for it by name.

In Second Life, you can start a cult about just about anything — that isn’t “cult” in the mind-control, freaky-deaky kinda way, but something friends and followers get together for and have wacky fun with. I love being gladdicted (glad + addicted), so there’s no question one cult which has caught my watermelon eyes is THE CULT OF TOAST. Which actually has no capital letters, but they’re obsessed!

My own interest in toast goes back to when a cousin encouraged my brother and I to try sugar + butter + toast. Delicious and not the most healthy, but delicious. Then came the After Dark screensaver, Flying Toasters.

And what is a toaster without the toast?

Nothing.

I’d like to extend special thanx here to ColeMarie Soleil, MiaSnow Myriam, and Sofia London (aka MiaSofia together) for sharing the joy of toast with us. Us being my wife + I. It was only a few days ago that I was marveling over the toastiness of the pictures within, but soon enough, MiaSofia were so nice to give me special watermelon toast courtesy of their lurveBite imprint. My first evar.

Later, we visited Hanauta (originators of panda-toast), who also have a collect-‘em-all “Bread Friends” machine deceptively dolled up as a gumball dispenser. Fun and frolicky.

It won’t be long until there’s a comprehensive list of landmarks where one can obtain toast, including the cute corner-sticking-in-mouth varieties, in Second Life. Venk’s already inquired about “toast peddlers”, pictures of real-life toast (it does exist) have been posted to the group, and who knows what will go and grow?

All I know is that the future is toasty… only in Second Life!
