I don't know why this is always my first question in twenty questions, as I have seen a real breadbox perhaps once in my life. Apparently it comes from some game show that I have never seen and has been passed down in twenty-questions cultural memory. Still odd.
Well, if the one I saw in the Smithsonian was typical, they're shaped like a quarter of a log, with one curved side to the front. They're maybe a foot and a half long, and six inches high and six inches deep. Also, the one I saw said "bread!" in all cursive, but that probably doesn't come standard. :)
My mother says that they're more or less the size of a largeish toaster oven, which is not at all what I would have imagined.
I think I've never seen a toaster oven, but I do have a breadbox. It's made of wood, has a curved front that looks as if it slides in but actually opens upward like a hatch, and it's got no writing on it.
I see that there aren't any questions left for me to ask :-)
You can admit it. You got hired to work on [insert network tv show here, preferably one with already really high ratings, and no I am not talking about one of those dreary grandparents-demographic procedurals], and although your internet free time will be decreasing like crazy, you will soon be hanging out with the hot-and-heavin' of primetime, and we will all rend our hair in envy of you.
I was going to offer the alternate guess of columnist for some bitchin' magazine, but I cannot think of a bitchin' magazine that has the proper fandom connection. (I am ignorant in the ways of magazines.)
Is it a coffee date with a life-sized cutout of Jensen Ackles??
If I had any idea the winter challenges going on (besides Yuletide, which I know you're already done with) then I would be vastly more equipped to guess. My cluelessness will inevitably lead to ambitious whoppers! Allow me my wild speculation! It is a consolation to me in times of hiatus.
Does it have anything to do with mortally offended Saiyuki voice actor Greg Ayres? (Which phrase I remembered correctly in its entirety, so amusing was the story.)
Alas, no. But in a bizarre coincidence, across the US, both telophase and I were at separate holiday parties last night. At mine, I recounted the tale to great hilarity. At hers, he was there! But luckily did not connect her with my evil self.

Alas, no. No to bitchin' magazine columnist, also.
This is going to be so anti-climactic when someone guesses it.
