16. Burnt Toast

16. Burnt Toast

Kanye hit us with the triple tweet. In cast the first tweet didn't make sense, he followed it up twice. He starts off with "Let's have a toast!!!" A toast for what? The thing is, you have to toast for something. You can have a drink for no reason (drinking is enough reason to drink, know what I mean?) Whatever he's toasting for, he follows it up with "Skal!" Does he mean ska music? We can't be toasting to ska music. Ska music is more like ska song. Every single ska song is the same.

Then he clarifies with "THAT MEANS TOAST IN SWEDISH!!!" Somehow that makes sense of it all while explaining nothing. It's as if the reason for the toast was ultimately just for you to learn how to toast in Swedish. Think about that. The reason for the toast coming after the toast. Trippy.
