Some people see the face of Christ in their pancakes; other folks are more interested in creating their own miracles.
An inexorable sign of the ever-impending Apocalypse?
Signal of man’s restless and irrepressible technological advancement?
The sine qua non of cyber-dork exultation?
All of the above, obviously.
Personally, if I want to synthesize an apotheosis of the Holy Spirit and the surreal, I turn to Sam Shepard’s True West. Among many other things, the concept of toast as salvation is addressed in some detail.

I want that toaster. Now if I could find some Buffy preserves, breakfast would be perfect.
