Seriously? It's a freakin' toaster!

Our toaster went kaput the other day.  This happens about every 3 years.  Seems to be the typical lifespan of a toaster (at least in this house). 

Considering we (I) use it EVERYDAY, it had to be replaced ASAP.  I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to see their selection and I was appalled.  First of all, there were 2 (2!) to pick from (I thought this was Bed Bath and BEYOND?!).  And second, they were $100!  What the....?  Since when is a toaster $100?  I mean... I wouldn't pay that even if the damn thing buttered my toast and cream-cheesed my bagel FOR me.  That's completely absurd.  COMPLETELY.  Guess I'll be toasting our buns on the good ole' gas burner.
