    I always go back and read all the Toast Points articles I didn’t read the first time around. I never regret it.

      Me, too! And it was great to see some articles posted over the less-trafficked holidays were re-posted this week so more readers saw them.

      [Is it revealing that I felt sad for the articles when they first posted, the same way I would feel sympathy for someone whose birthday is overshadowed by a major holiday?]

        I feel the same way! And I love when Nicole orders me to read articles I’ve missed.

        Also, let us admire that toaster. Have we all admired that toaster? Yes? Let’s admire it again because it’s a meta-toaster that declares: TOAST. I just love the evolution of the Toast Points pictures, okay?

    I also loved the misandrist animals one.. I was going to put it up as part of my new year greeting on facebook so refrained from commenting (let us resolve to be more misandrist this year). Eventually I went with Nacho, but misandrist animals really was perfection.
