How would you describe yourself?
I’m a toaster.

What brought you to RIT?
Well, I was originally going to be part of an automobile, but somehow, a misplaced shipment brought me here. For years now, I’ve been trying to get my degree in Food Technology and Processing. I thought, “You know, what the hell— I’m at a college, I might as well make something of it.”

How do you like RIT so far?
I like it fine, but most people just seem so dreary all of the time, especially the morning zombies who trudge in during the wee hours of the morning and shove bagels down my throat.

I must say, you have a very unique style. What inspires you?
Breadcrumbs, mostly.

What’s been your most difficult struggle so far?
When people try to toast things that obviously cannot and really should not be toasted, like Mamwiches. I spent a long time in hospital because of that creep. And don’t even get me started on teacakes.

Are you a daredevil?
Turn the dial up to five and find out!

What’s your greatest weakness?
Cheese gets stuck in my heating coils, and I start spewing all this awful-smelling smoke. It’s actually pretty embarrassing.

Which websites do you frequent?
None. I’m a toaster, for God’s sake!

Are you perceived wrongly?
Definitely. People call me a toaster oven behind my back.

What traits do you like in a… er… other toasters?
Sleek and sometimes a little saucy. And they don’t have to be smokin’ hot, but they should have enough power to lightly toast a bagel.

What are your plans for the future?
I hope to burn an image of a holy person into bread and strike it rich and famous.

Do you live in the moment?
Ding!
