Normally I'd never ask — but since you've brought it up: what's your background that this is even a realistic daydream?

That's what he means.

The application fees aren't that much. Lots of people have access to that kind of money, although it'd be pretty foolish to spend it on a TLD. If you were planning on selling domains from the TLD, you probably need a lot more money to set that up, but why would I let anybody else use .toast???

“realistic daydream”? Did you go thesaurus-fishing for “practical idea”?

realistic daydream != practical idea

realistic daydream is like an oxymoron because it conveys the idea that it is unreasonable for most people, but practical for him.
