The concept of a belt buckle with a miniature toaster seemed far fetched to me until the toaster popping sound effect was incorporated into the story. The sound evoked a feeling of surprise and interest in me. The sound effect served as tangible evidence of the existence of a belt buckle with a miniature toaster and reinforced the excitement the narrators have for the object [3:40].
The story goes off on a tangent when Carson discusses his father's opinion of who the two individuals that had their names etched on the belt buckle were. Without this fictitious account the names etched on the belt buckle would be just that, names on a belt buckle. This account personifies the names on the belt buckle and presents us with a lasting image of these fictitious characters throughout the remainder of the story [5:53].
