Pickles by Brian Crane for November 04, 2015

Must be a reason why my Amish forefathers distrust electrical appliances.

Wasn’t there a “Twilight Zone” episode like this?

Shouldn’t have bought the Siege model toaster.

Sounds like Earl’s appliances are going into “Maximum Overdrive”.

/Obscure?

Shades of an early Woody Allen routine.

They’re heeeerrre!

Earl need to stop picking his own mushrooms.

Great comments today fellow Pickles lovers. Thank you!

he needs the brave little toaster from thomas disch. i believe there’s a movie, also

Burned vs. burntBurned and burnt both work as the past tense and past participle of burn. Both are used throughout the English-speaking world, but usage conventions vary. American and Canadian writers use burned more often, and they use burnt mainly in adjectival phrases such as burnt out and burnt orange. Outside North America, the two forms are used interchangeably, and neither is significantly more common than the other.

Burned is the older form. Burnt came about during a period in the 16th through 18th centuries in which there was a trend toward replacing -ed endings with -t in words where -ed was no longer pronounced as a separate syllable. Later, British writers continued to favor the newer -t forms for a handful of verbs, while North Americans went back to the more traditional -ed forms.

To say " flaming… burning toast " would be grammatically redundant ! Not to mention a waste of cell space.

On some days I swear my computer at work hates me. Issues with tools not loading, or other stuff. Just minor annoyances mostly. Sometimes my computer tells me to go flip a table.
