Apropos to yesterday and today: in this last hour my new iPod apparently killed my somewhat less new Sony Vaio laptop…two days before I was planning to bring the Vaio to London, England for a symposium. Thanks to a medical appointment tomorrow, it’s exceedingly unlikely that I can get the problem dealt with in time. Meanwhile, I can’t even shut the laptop off!
Now, where’s that axe? :(
(P.S.: I did back up the data from the Vaio just a few days ago.)
I am baffled how the vacuum cleaners and refrigerators allowed themselves to be represented by the lowly waffle iron. He must have a Napoleonic complex, and a big eggo.

ACK, you’ve been waffled!

Must be the work of IHOP.

Again, thanks to Margueritem for answering my question.
Oh, Pam, what a pun! I didn’t know you had it in you. (Look at her face: pure deadpan. Why isn’t her temper erupting?)
Brewster’s been branded a lot of things, but not as grist for a waffle iron’s mill.
Meanwhile, back at Winky vs. the Homicidal Vacuum Cleaner…

If they want to get control, they’d butter come up with a plan soon. A good one, if not a grid one.

What plan? They’re BELGIANS!

This encounter may have given “Leggo my Eggo!” a whole new meaning.

Waffle iron? But won’t it change its plans by the end of the week?

Repeat after me “shut off the breaker”. That’s what I had to do with my oven when it wouldn’t turn off.

I never did trust waffle irons…

Was that waffle iron made in North Korea?

At least Brew didn’t get himself killed but he sure got thoroughly grilled
(this actually happened to one of my family - tripped and landed on the heater vent, some kind of a hot gridiron)

Too fight a waffle iron, you just need to find someone bigger and batter…

You’ll never defeat these appliances by opposing them openly, you have to fight them syrup-titiously.

So what is the sum of Brewster squared?
Mopman about 15 years ago
Oh, the iron-y! Can’t they just call the Sirius Police and have it arrested for assault and batter-y?

Rakkav, hold the power button down for more than 5 seconds.

@Stuart Gathman: Thanks, next time I’ll remember that. Letting its battery run down allowed for a restart.
Will either tactic work on these infernal machines before organic life ceases on the R.U. Sirius?

Waffle irons are iron-willed and won’t waffle. Time to cut the cord.
