Where's the tender for this thing? Looks like it should be pulling a lot of flatbed cars stacked with bread for making the toast!

These are the voyages of the Toast Ship "Boobyprize". Its continuing mission: to explore strange, new breads. To seek out new heat settings and new forms of drying out bread in a tasty way. To boldly go where no slice has gone before.

Beware Toast Ship Boobyprize, you are approaching the Klinga Toast planet "Green Moldy Bread" and it's space ship " Bad Bread".Our leader "Jellitron the Great"Pirate [oX)]  has instructed us to short circuit your heating elements and disable your decoders.
We will fire upon you with old dried out raisins if you come any closer!!
Jellitron has authorized us to spread our sticky jelly force field around you until you mold, and turn green and your ditch lights and Mars lights go out for good!

Disguising yourself as an intergalactic diesel toaster or black hole steam toaster will be of no avail to you! Evil [}:)]

At the risk of starting even more flaming on this thread I have to point out that even if one makes a toaster from scratch - to the point of actually smelting iron ore they are still not real toast masters unless they make their own bread from homegrown wheat.  That's the sign of a real toast master any thing else just makes one a wannabe.

That reminds me of the Little Red Hen story. (Perhaps the creative writers out there will weeve that into the Star Trek stuff.) S0, did the Little Red Hen toast her bread before feeding it to her chicks?

WAIT!!

What's this????
The Great Toastmaster who spent so much of his time rasing his wheat to be made into the finest bread of which the finest toast was made!Not only this he raised a son Luke Slicewalker, who studied under his father the Great Toastmaster, to become the next GreatToastmaster and carry the family toast tradition on, now sees that the Toast Thread must go on, so he grabs his automatic ray beam bread slicer, and boards the new high speed intergalactic toast ship locomotive, "The Millenium Toaster" with his friends , "crusty pilot" Han Solotoast and the stepson of the "Little Red Hen" the trusty but fuzzy looking Wookietoaster,who so appreciated his stepmothers daily feedings of her chicks with nourishing toast and beloved stepson "Wookietoast and they head out  on the mainline to save the great toast ship the "Boobyprize" from "Jellitron" and his moldy toast gang!

They speed across the new intergalactic mainline, as anything slower pulls off onto solar sidings allowing the "Millenium Toaster" to highball to the rescue!

As they speed on, they hear a voice........

MAY THE TOAST BE WITH YOU!!!!! 

To be continued.......!!!

Somewhere in a dark tunnel along the galactic mainline as the Millenium Toaster loco speeds on, all the dipatchers giving the Millenium Toaster the right of way as it highballs with our heroes Han Solotoaster( our engineer)  and Wookietoaster(our brakeman) and Luke Slicewalker aboard as it races to save the Boobyprize from Jellico and his gang as they attempt to derail the great toast thread and short circuit and burn out the decoders aboard the Boobyprize as it ventures on into new unexplored territory in the Toast Complaint thread, LURRRRRRKKKKSSSSSS Dark Toaster!!!!!

to be continued!

Toasting it in the nuclear reactor toaster will take care of the mold.

I dunno, I think I'm in a slump. I've been trying to rekindle my interest by drawing some elaborate toaster designs, and by toast-bashing some breakfasts, but somehow I can't overcome the feeling that I'm just playing with my food. Even a subscription to Grains magazine hasn't helped.

Is there something wrong with me? Sigh [sigh]

Wow. Some creative writing is really something. Model Railroaders do have fun for certain.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next thrilling episode by K4kid.  The toast crums might "Klingon" my face.

IRONROOSTER has just given our heroes the answer to the problem they have been searching for as they speed across the galactic mainline to save the good ship Boobyprize, and bring peace and the tastiest toast to the rest of the universe!
The Great Toastmaster rides with them in spirit!
Luke Slicewalker says "hey Solotoast, how much more steam can this old loco take, I have an idea!
In reply Solotoast says "Luke, this old bucket of iron has extra toast burners, and we added a few Megawatts of power to the main busline, and added extra feeders to all the burner elements,and we increased the size of the tender bin to hold extra galactic super coal energy nuggets, why this old loco can pull any number of freight containers across the galaxy!"
"Well then" says Luke Slicewalker, without all of those freight containers we no longer have behind us, we should be able to max this old loco out, speed by the spaceship Bad Bread and the planet Green Moldy Bread at such a speed as to cause a GIANT nuclear reaction , like a GIANT toaster and turn everything back into sweet smelling fresh toast, so all of the citizenry of the galaxy can have GREAT TOAST again!
"Luke have you gone mad?" says Solotoaster, "If the Glactic Yardmaster catches us going that speed , he'll put us on a solar siding for eternity!!!"
Wookietoaster just laughs.
"Who asked you Wookietoaster?" says Solotaoster.
"Well Luke, here goes!" as Solotaoster pours on more coal nuggets through the super stoker.

Once again our heroes hear the voice "MAY THE TOAST BE WITH YOU"

But somewhere out there in a tunnel not yet travelled, waiting with a grin on his mask, is Dark Toaster! 

As the Millenium Toaster picks up steam, Solotoaster turns to Luke Slicwalker and asks "Luke what are you doing over there?"
Luke replies, "I'm getting logged onto TRAINS.COM  and asking the rest of our forum members to help us finish this story, because I think TheK4Kid may be about "toasted out"

Stay tuned!

 

Come on guys help me out, i've burned out TEN TOASTERS so far working on this, and my layout will never get finished! LOL!

Now here's what you do sonny boy.  Take a shoe box, and tip it on it's side.  Now place the garbage(tyco) in the box.  Cover the open end with saran wrap.  Now feature this museum quality, collectors piece on idiot bay.  Make sure to feature the custom made display case.  Before you know it,  you may have a bid!  Oh yeah,  toast!
