General / Off-Topic The potato thread

I do think spending too much time in RESs puts potatoes on the mind (because all the asteroids look like 'em). I even call asteroids spuds in game, e.g. "He smashed into a massive spud".

I never went as far as OP, though.

I once met the guy who invented the "bonsai potato" kit.

You can make your own pretty easily. Take an elegant wooden tray and put some fine white gravel or black volcanic sand and a few odd-shaped rocks and a bench from a dolls' house. Bury a few slices of potato eyes and water regularly; rake the sand into zen swirls. Meditate. You can do it.

nah OP is not mental, he knows what he does. It's all a trick to get your +1. I give to show, and share. Love and Peace ~

But well if we talk about Potatos already. I eat em raw & peeled sometimes. It has an intersting taste. Poisonish I would say. Just the way I like my snacks.

I like to keep a potato on my desk while I play Elite Dangerous.

Sometimes I get baby potatoes and wrap them up in cotton and gently water them each day. One has sprouted.

Considering OP is running a 386 SX with a 5.25 disk drive I'd say he hasn't seen the infomercial for Chia pets yet.

How can you do it? It's heartless, it's cruel.
It's murder, cold-blooded, and gross.
To slay a poor vegetable just for your stew,
Or to serve with some cheese sauce on toast.
Have you no decency? Have you no shame?
Have you no conscience, you cad?
To rip that poor vegetable out of the earth,
Away from its poor mom and dad?
[Cho:]
Oh, no, don't slay that potato!
Let us be merciful, please.
Don't boil it or fry it, don't even freeze-dry it.
Don't slice it or flake it.
For God's sake, don't bake it!
Don't shed the poor blood,
Of this poor helpless spud.
That's the worst kind of thing you could do.
Oh, no, don't slay that potato,
What never done nothing to you!
​
Why not try picking on something your size,
Instead of some carrot or bean?
The peas are all trembling there in their pod,
Just because you're so vicious and mean.
How would you like to be grabbed by your hair,
And ruthlessly yanked from your bed,
And have done to you God knows what horrible things,
To be eaten with full-fiber bread?
[Cho:]
It's no bed of roses, this vegetable life.
You're basically stuck in the mud.
You don't get around much. You don't see the sights,
When you're a carrot or celery or spud.
You're helpless when somebody's flea-bitten dog,
Takes a notion to pause for relief.
Then somebody picks you and cleans you and eats you,
And causes you nothing but grief.
[Cho:]
There ought to be some way of saving our skins.
They ought to be passing a law.
Just show anybody a cute little lamb,
And they'll all stand around and go "Aw!"
Well, potatoes are ugly. Potatoes are plain.
We're wrinkled and lumpy to boot.
But give me a break, kid. Do you mean to say,
That you'll eat us because we're not cute?
[Cho:]

Wait till there's a "lost my potato because I didn't have insurance and was griefed" thread.
