I did not know this either. Even though I've read quite a bit about concentration camps and visited Dachau. I feel like such an idiot. Thanks for informing me.



Edit to include pink triangle

11. Going O/T, what exactly
is the origin of the toaster joke? I think the whole idea is just hilarious.

19. I assume it's a lounge thing but I'm not 100% sure where it originated
when in doubt though, just blame Matcom. That's what I do.

29. Well, it was in the coming out episode of Ellen.
In "The Puppy Episode" of Ellen, where Ellen DeGeneres came out of the closet, is a joke that if the character Susan (Laura Dern) was unsuccessful in recruiting Ellen to become a lesbian (which at this point in the episode she was denying), Susan would "have to call national headquarters and tell them I lost you. Damn, just one more and I would have gotten that toaster oven". The episode then ends with...


At Lesbian National Headquarters. Melissa Etheridge is sitting at a desk. Susan and Ellen are there.

SUSAN
Here she is!

MELISSA ETHERIDGE
OK, Ms. Morgan, I have just one question for you: Are you gay?

ELLEN
Yes, yes I am.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE
So you sign right there.

She hands Ellen a stack of forms which Ellen signs.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE
And sign here. And here.

ELLEN
Wow, I didn't know it was so complicated.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE
Congratulations!
Susan! There is your toaster oven!
(puts a Krups toaster oven in front of Susan)

SUSAN
Oh thank you so very much!

20. Thanks. I just changed it!
I couldn't figure out how to have two, so it was easier to change it. Plus, it seems like the right thing to do.
