I spew “brilliant” ideas at my girlfriend constantly. Most of these ideas bounce off her head, fall to the floor and get kicked under the metaphorical couch of shutthefuckupAmy. Some ideas, though, I really believe in. I do not let them go. They are the ideas I tell my girlfriend about constantly, at which point they at least serve some use as running gags in our relationship which prevent her from killing me. One of these persistent ideas, it’s a vision, really, is the Ultimate Cable Program: a mashup of Iron Chef America and Mythbusters. The premise is simple: Two challengers meet for battle, equipped with hellish tools of destruction. Viking ranges spewing fire and immersion blenders with roaring diesel engines! They are presented with their secret ingredient and in 60 minutes must each create a unique 5 course meal. And then blow it up. Judges award points on style, velocity, and aroma of the explosion.
The blank look on my woman’s face made me think I was alone with my dream, but there’s a little company called Ivo Vos who makes me think it could work.
With this toaster, a part of Ivo Vos’s collection “Brunch” prototypes, you can calibrate the force and angle of your toast’s ejection. Coming soon to the Brunch line of defensive kitchen equipment: The OJ trebuchet. Heads up, honey!
