Hi Toast - hope you're warm :-) . Nice of you to join us. If you'd like to know a bit more about the site please have a look at our RationalWiki:Newcomers' guide. --Bobbing up 13:54, 27 October 2008 (EDT)


 * Welcome to the house of s, Toast!   17:52, 27 October 2008 (EDT)


 * I hope you are lightly browned, and not burnt. : )   17:52, 27 October 2008 (EDT)


 * I'm well buttered & coated in an exotic orange preserve, thank you. Toast 18:10, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Ooh! Marmalade!   18:38, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Sorry, I erred, it's actually lemon not orange - is that still marmalade? Toast 18:42, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I have no idea. I didn't know anyone made lemon jam.   18:53, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Is it Lemon Curd, or Lemon Marmalade, or some form of Lemon Preserve? Anyway, Welcome to the Dollhouse!  ħ uman  23:41, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

History
Must all men be doomed by their past? By man's judgement? MarcusCicero 17:13, 30 October 2008 (EDT)
 * When you appear, making rather snide commments (SusanG) and self-laudatory ones (Human) after an absence where you had been roundly belabored for exactly the same sort of thing, then yes, I think so. You're a historian of sorts, aren;t you - so you should approve, TOAST and butter 17:18, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

You weren't there when the whole thing blew up originally, so I would suppose from reading the responses on my page you might come up with this assumption. Though it does seem a tad assuming for someone just in the door to make such pontifications. (And yes, I am a historion - of sorts) MarcusCicero 17:32, 30 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I was lurking - but admittedly not paying all that much attention. Why can't you be nice about people? Then they might be nice about you? TOAST and butter 17:41, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

I am nice to people. But online I suffer from 'internet-schizophrenia', a common ailment where internet users tend to adopt wholely different personalities when online. MarcusCicero 17:58, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

You're Susan, yeah? 86.45.204.16 11:19, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Alas, no. TOAST and butter 16:33, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Theory of evolution
Hi I had to roll back what you did as you seem to have doubled the pages size. Of you want get rid of the red links, create an article if appropriate to RationalWiki, use template:wpl to send someone to Wikipedia or template:cpl to send them to Conservapeida. The latter two can be done by changing long incoherent text by Ken to and it won't change the formatting of the article. - User   06:01, 4 November 2008 (EST)

Lemon marmalade
Why not put the lemon marmalade recipe in the much neglected recipe namespace? - User   00:24, 18 November 2008 (EST)

Mince Pie v Printer
Please be advised: It is very difficult to totally remove all fragments of mince pie from a printer once the print head has made at least one pass! That is all. Marmite   on Toast   10:55, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Jonas Brothers
You are so lucky to have never heard of the Jonas Brothers. They suck. --Jonasbrothershater666 22:30, 23 December 2008 (EST)

 * Wait for the Jerboa is about all I can say. Генгис    07:40, 31 December 2008 (EST)

Community Standards
In an effort to update our sometimes too-vague and too-often ignored current Community Standards, I drafted a possible update of them. The draft can be found here. I invite you, and the rest of the site, to discuss this important issue. 04:36, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Apologies
Sorry about the 30 seconds. I hadn't read your recent userpage updates. Won't happen again. EternalCritic 13:34, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Now, please excuse me because some teens are laughing in the street and I cant have that......Flaming youth Ace McWickedThe Liquid Room 04:41, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Sorry, for snapping, Ace. I'd just made a rather nice (I thought) & fairly complex Edit on WIGO talk & had to redo it, thereby losing the spontaneity which had been there. The annoyance was temporary. Toast 04:46, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * (The user page comment is really aimed at a silly little cur) Toast 04:49, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Never mind, we are all friends here. Now, bed for me - I have been away for many moons but now I am all hopped up on whisky and I have work tomorrow for the first time in weeks. See ya soon. Ho ho ho. Ace McWickedThe Liquid Room 04:54, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * You are lucky, living in NZ. It looks beautiful & of course you've got Hobbiton. Toast 04:58, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Lucky? LUCKY!? Goddamnit Toast! This country is overrun with liberals! I can hear them in the walls at night, breathing liberal lies into my dreams. Those bastards wont let me carry a largely defensive weapon of gun around and they are think with the homosexual agenda. However, the scenery is amazing.

Blocks
What have you got against joke blocks? It takes 5 seconds to undo.  Phantom Hoover  15:37, 15 January 2009 (EST)
 * They are childish &, when they happen when I'm in the middle of a complex edit, fucking annoying, alright? [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]] (with butter!) talk to Toast  01:20, 16 January 2009 (EST)
 * I have to agree with Toast joke blocks are like yo mamma jokes, they are only funny if they come from someone you get along with, if they are from someone you are in the middle of having a disagreement with they are annoying. - User   01:51, 16 January 2009 (EST)
 * I agree with Teh Crumpet here, a 3 second block is no big deal, anything longer can create a big waste of time - and lost work at worst. Still, I am not against them - as long used in the "yo mamma" fashion, not the "prick up your ears" fashion.  ħ uman  21:44, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Subpage
Please use the preview button when editing that subpage of yours. You're almost as bad as Ken.  Phantom Hoover  04:51, 17 January 2009 (EST)
 * You can't use the preview button when trying a template! Alright???? [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]] (Crumpets) and butter'' 04:53, 17 January 2009 (EST)
 * Why?  Phantom Hoover  05:00, 17 January 2009 (EST)
 * Because, Oh vacuum cleaner of little brain, the template won't work until it's been saved (so every amendment has to be saved before its effect can be seen). alright?[[Image:Toast s.png|25px]] (Crumpets) and butter'' 05:03, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Sandbox fix (User:Toast/sandbox1 and Template:Help01)
I think I fixed your Sandbox problem there. Only stumbled over it now because I wanted to know what else linked to some non-existent template (the one included in the Cquote documentation). For reference, the issue was with how the MediaWiki software handles wikitables: It can be really idiotic with the "The {| part must be in a new line" rule. Dunno if the issue is still relevant, but I just can't resist trying to fix something that looks odd. :) --Sid 20:48, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Wingnuterry
I don't that's the template you really want - the articles you've added it to are lucid, it's their subjects that are wingnuts. Don't we have a banner type thing that proclaims that, like the pseudoscience one? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms"> ħ uman  19:49, 22 January 2009 (EST)

 * One quick point, I recognised that face instantly as Uncle Joe Stalin. Oh, and the brackets are sort of the universal symbol for a wiki.  So in context at that SR of CP article, it ought to be fairly clear?  JHMO, of course. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms"> ħ uman  16:09, 24 January 2009 (EST)
 * Hmmm...I do like Uncle Joe between the brackets, but I quite like the North Korean flag just because it's a bit more interesting visually (and it's more common for us to compare Conservapedia to the aforementioned Korea). Also, I'd rather not use the Che Schlafly image again. Weeeell, I'll go back to the drawing board and see what inspires me. :) -- 01:02, 26 January 2009 (EST)

Help pages
I am given to understand you wrote most of the help pages initially. What I was planing to do was a bit of an update starting with the signatures as we seem to have the most problem with those, people dumping huge amounts of code every where and stuff. I created an account called User:Yourname for this purpose but decided to expand his use so we can make a pictorial guide to getting around the wiki. How to edit talkpage, what to do during an edit conflict, how to make a more annoying signature than mine, how to block and vandal bin CUR and so forth. If you are interested in helping I can give you Yourname's password. - User   00:13, 31 January 2009 (EST)
 * Why would we need the password, exactly? I see the point of using a neutral "yourname" user ID to improve those articles, of course.  And, yes, and no, and yes, and no, ;)  Yeah, let's just say Toast does a lot of work on the help files ;) without complete confirmation.  Let a woman have her privacy :) I usually ran around after her fixing minor formatting issues, mostly due to "her" editing on thing like mobile phones.  Also, with the sigs, don't people usually fix them pretty quickly after others whine at them?   Hi, toast! <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms"> ħ uman  00:54, 31 January 2009 (EST)
 * No better reason than so when we direct them to User:Yourname/sig it wasn't an actual user name. The I decided he could be a generic RationalWikian for our examples. Just a thought. - User   01:09, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Vandal
I note you were one of several who dealt with THC LOADEE. Fortunately there was more than one of you. On Dec 10th last year I dealt with a vandal attack single handed. That’s a thankless task. If you get it right the chances are no one notices. If you block the wrong person under pressure or seem to block the wrong person under pressure you’re accused of sysop abuse.

Dumb questions.
So I see the brown toast, and the written "and pickle", but what's the whitish image between the "Toast" and "pickle"? Cheese? (Yes, I"m at work. No, I don't want to be serious.  So Yes, I am doing the MAJOR procrastination thing.)  :D-- 10:08, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * [[image:stilton.jpg]]It is teh STILTON. The queen of cheeses! 10:54, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * So, toast, stilton and pickle... special. <font color=red face="Tahoma"> A rmondiko V  User_Talk:Armondikov 11:01, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Actually my favourite way with Stilton is: A winter evening, a log fire, rich fruit cake, a decent single malt and stilton AND someone to snuggle with.  11:19, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * OHOHOH, speaking of which (and as I've not been around for 6 months, due to elections), I looked and looked and went to a fancy smanshy cheese store (for Xmas Dinner) and found your Queen. God, she's good cheese!  I don't think we get her pure, though, cause of that whole "pasteurized/non-pasteurized things here in the US.   But I'll get some in Scotland/Eyre when I get there in April.  *smacks lips in anticipation!*.  So thanks for the recomendations.  I'd take any other suggestions (of particular brands of cheeses you like, food stuffs I should try, etc), if you have any.  Most people go on vacation for the sites.  I go for the foods! -- 11:09, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Ireland: Guinness (you can't get the proper stuff elsewhere); Scotland: Ardbeg single malt whisky. There are good cheeses in both places - can't immediately think of any names though. 11:14, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * See here 11:15, 23 February 2009 (EST)And here
 * And here 11:20, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Most decent cheeses in Scotland are of boutique farmhouse manufacture. Usually made in small quantities so you need to look around and taste them. If you go to one of the larger cities then look for a specialist cheese shop (you can research their locations ahead of time). For a good Stilton ask for Colston Bassett, it's unpasteurised and should be nice and creamy. While you can find Stilton in a supermarket it usually isn't of the same quality you'll get from a specialist. Whisky is an individual thing, there are many different styles with single malts being the thing to go far. I like Highland Park and The Arran. Remember, just a drop of pure water and NO ICE. <font color=Blue>Генгис    11:27, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Amen to the Colston Basset. Most towns have a cheese shop, but you might need to hunt for them. 11:38, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * NO WATER; NO ICE; NEAT!!!!!!
 * Strangely, having lived in Scotland all my life, I have never even heard of almost all of the list of Scottish foods. 11:31, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * 1) Thanks, all. I dont' know how people traveled before the internet, but I've now got great sources to go "shop" for, so i know where to visit!  Scondly, Phantom, isn't that like all the people in Paris saying "I've never been to Tour Eiffel" or New Yorkers saying they've never been to the Lady?  As long as you've had your Scotch, I'm sure every other scot will forgive you for never having heard of the list of food!  -- 11:41, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Just tried googling: townname cheese looks useful. 11:50, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Google maps even marks out the best way to go, and you can use "public transit" or "walking". Gads but i do love the internet.  Oh, I've already "visited" one cheese shop in Glasglow using the "show street map".  it's such a cute little shop - I HAVE to go there. *wide grin*.  why travel for money, when you can "street map" for free.  (j/k)-- 12:07, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * What do you plan to do in Edinburgh? 12:12, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Sometimes one has to take the rough with the smooth and experience the more exotic aspects of a nation's cuisine, so if you're going to Glasgow make sure you dry the local speciality - deep-fried Mars bar. It will probably disgust you (and you don't even have to eat it all) but you will get loads of brownie points to tell the folks back home that you at least tried it. <font color=Blue>Генгис    12:21, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Well, I did promise myself I would try Haggas. My dad is a Piper, and always has to pipe on Burns  day, when you read "the" poem (not sure which one... i'm a bad 3rd generational scot), and slice into the haggas.  But i've never had the delight (?) of trying it myself.   As for the trip, we will be in France for two weeks in April.  We found Are Lingus(sp?) which had flights from Paris to Dublin for 35 bucks a person including all taxes.  So we are going to spend 4 days during that two weeks in the UK.  Probably 2 days in Scotland, 2 in Ireland.  Only restrictions are that we have to use bus or train to get anywhere.  So I"m not sure where we'll be.  I want smaller towns, cause to me (right or wrong) Metro is Metro, be it Paris, NY, or Dublin.  So "what will I do / see?"  don't know yet.  I'm googling right now. I've a month to figure it out.   :D. -- 12:38, 23 February 2009 (EST)

(undent)I believe it's illegal to import haggis into the US on account of it's offal. You might have difficulty getting a bus or train from Ireland to Scotland, though. 12:44, 23 February 2009 (EST)

PS Ireland (Eire) ≠ UK!!!!!!
 * I used to like haggis, until I was put off by the low-quality stuff they served in my school. 12:47, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * OOPs, Bad to my "UK" "Eire" confusion. I'm not good at the troubled past of Ireland & England.  But if you ask me about Scotland and england... hehe.  Toast, we found through Are Linguis, "0" Euro tickets.  All you pay is taxes and handling.  it's about 25 per person one way from Dublin to Either Edinburgh or Glasglow.  Then we have to fly back into Dublin, then fly from Dublin to Paris.  No direct flights from Paris to scotland, on "cheepo" flights.  And yeah, the haggis that is usually served here in Denver on Burn's day is smuggled in if they can. I did that with European butter and cheese, cause the US thinks we will all die if we eat things humans have been eating for thousands of years.  "silly rabbits". -- 13:10, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * <Snide comment> For a polyglot your spelling stinks! :) 13:26, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * Luckily, Russian's spelling is exactly as it sounds. I'm dyslexic, for what it's worth (though in the 21st century, that's rarely an excuse).  I never posted on websites till FireFox came out with an online spell checker. Cause it looked like a 6th grader had written it.  ;-)  But now, usually, I have little wavy red lines under misspellings, so I can fake most of the spelling stuff.  'Cept when I'm in a hurry and don't bother.-- 14:33, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * A polyglot? Have you considered seeing a doctor about that? 14:37, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * It's ok. The doc assures me that at this stage, its in such elementary stages that it will cause me no harm.  However, he did caution that this condition is quite harmful upon others at this stage of development.  Apparently, it causes damage to something called "natives" who hear your vocalizations and run from the room screaming about corruption of their language or something. -- 14:43, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * I would advise you to spellcheck your user page. "God is most defiantly male" is a gem... 14:46, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * That's one of the problems with spell-chequers thy let you putt the wrong words in two an article. Even though they may be spelt write it doesn't mean vat they are correct. (Knot one read under line in my righting.) <font color=Blue>Генгис    15:02, 23 February 2009 (EST)
 * De-fin-ately. De-fi-ant-ly.  sighs.  this is one word i should just take out of my vocab.  to be defiant, to be definite.  They look the same to my eyes, unless i break them down into little phonemes. As for Genghis' point. I blame Webster, and the Brits who were so keen on making standardized spellings, but never bothered to ask eachother what the standards should be.  That and the great vowel shift. hehehe.
 * Yeah, blame us. Never mind all of the spellings which were changed by the Americans, confusing things further. 15:25, 23 February 2009 (EST)

(unindent) Yeah, well when you explain the use of a "u" in a word that does not (anylonger?) carry a phoneme to associate with it - Labour, Colour, Phantoum Hoouver - then i said "dude, what gives".
 * It is used in words with a short "u". 15:45, 23 February 2009 (EST)

 * The th is "thorn": it's why there are such abominations as " Ye Olde Teashoppe " 'cause it was transliterated as 'y'. It still exists in Icelandic. The long " s" I found on WP. (I'm on PDA @ the moment & it won't show them.) 20:00, 26 February 2009 (EST)
