Okay, I missed the memo. What's the deal with the toaster?

1. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW

I asked that question yesterday.

It's about the episode of The Ellen Show (with Ellen DeGeneres) where Ellen came out of the closet. Melissa Ethridge did a cameo and gave her a toaster for a coming out gift.

That is all!!

2. It's a joke from the old Ellen DeGeneres sitcom...

When a lesbian "recruits" a straight woman into the ranks, the lesbian gets a new toaster oven. You know, like a bank giving you a free phone or movie tickets or something for opening a new checking account.

It's a backhanded slap at the RW re their silly notions about the "gay agenda."

3. Thanks y'all

No wonder I didn't get it - I can't stand Ellen Degeneres. She's the original Ray Romano, and I fucking hate him too.

5. I'm with you.

I love Ellen. She cracks me up. Her stand-up never fails to make me laugh. She also seems to be a regularly nice sorta gal. AND... Her brother used to be on The Daily Show.

6. This straight guy

loves DeGeneres - sharpest wit since Chris Rock & Robin Williams, but I can't stand Romano.

Hmmmm - Different Strokes - Right Willard?
