Be a Potato

[SalixIncendium]

Not only can a potato be chips (crisps), fries (chips), or any other kind of potato variety of food, it can also remove rust, shine silver, absorb salt, soothe burns, reduce swelling, remove broken light bulbs, remove skin stains, clean glass, and even generate a small amount of electricity.

A potato can be just about anything it wants to be. Be a potato.

Most underrated vegetable of all time. Back in university, while studying 3D geometry, I used potatoes to make many 3D shapes, and explore that theorem about faces, edges, and corners. I believe potato flour will become a real thing, and help feed humanity, due to yield per acre. (Just a guess, no actual research on that.)

Do you mean like a fashion consultant?

A potato can even be a symbol of hope

"Everything will be alright as long as you have your -ing potato." The Truth, Terry Pratchett.

"Hey you, Spudboy!" ... Nah, I don't think so.

Only problem is the only available Doctor is singing this.....

"You say Potato, I say Poe-tott-oo! "

And you threw all my pieces into the fire.....

Incidentally, one of my granddaughter's favorite toys. She's getting like 5 from me for Christmas plus a Potato Head Play-Doh set.

I saw potato flour at the Asian Market yesterday(but in the African section).

About time they moved Africa to Asia. Seven continents is just too many.

How did Europe get to be its own continent anyway? It's clearly the same land mass as Asia. Move that to Asia as well, that way the number of continents matches the number of oceans.

I'm still on the waiting list. Obviously.

Lets throw them all in the same place. Its just inconvenient the way it is.

(Our Asian markets wisely realized our African immigrants needed to have a place to shop, and were happy to provide that niche.)

I'm still on the waiting list. Obviously.

I hope you get in soon. The world needs it.

Long live the SPUD!

The origin of the word spud has erroneously been attributed to an 18th-century activist group dedicated to keeping the potato out of Britain, calling itself the Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet (SPUD), for whose existence there is no evidence. Mario Pei's 1949 The Story of Language was responsible for the word's false etymology; he wrote "the potato, for its part, was in disrepute some centuries ago. Some Englishmen who did not fancy potatoes formed a Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet. ​

We could do that. We would probably need to think of a new name, though.

How about something that means "all of Mother Earth." We should call it Pangaea or something like that.

 

[Quintessence]

Since all of those are examples of how potatoes are used by others, rather than how the potato lives its live of its own accord, does this mean we should all aspire to be used for purposes not of or own inherent nature and accord?

Good idea.
