A Potato's Life

Well, A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got
married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam.'

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time, they told her about the facts of life..

They warned her about going out and getting
half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself
like 'Hot Potato' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato
out of her!

But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.

She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the
hard-boiled guys from Ireland..

And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. And when she went out
west, to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.

Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those
high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise
their trade on all the trucks that say 'Frito Lay.'

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U.. (that's Potato University) so that when
she graduated she'd really be in the Chips.

But in spite of all they did for her, one day Yam came home and announced she was
going to marry Tom Brokaw..

Tom Brokaw!

Mr.. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.

They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he's just......

Are you ready for this?

OK! Here it is!

That part made me chuckle, which is good because I just wasted 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back watching a horribly predictable low-budget western named Shadowheart.
 
I hope Mr. Brokaw isn't one of those thin skinned 'taters....

So would there children be tater tots?
 
I don't understand her marrying Tom Brokow as the last I knew she was engaged to Tim Russet... Geez talk about fickle. I thought she was a sweet potato.
 
She was engaged to Tim Russet, but really only had eyes for Tom Brokaw 'til she went out and had a few Bud Lites with Spuds McKenzie and got fried :jester: !!!
 
She probably grew up with a CHIP on her shoulder :crazyeyes:
 
:nonono: I am sure she is a potato tart! Or she's simply a cold potato. In any event I hope Yam is happy with Spuds.
 
judow, all this pah-ta-dah talk got me to cook up a bunch of "latke" last night, man thats a bunch of work!, but boy are they good, my wife (filipino) never ate them before and fell in love with them, oh boy! :eeek:
 
Did you serve them with sour cream or applesauce? Finally got smart and instead of using a hand grater used the food processor. Drats, now I have to make some - you made my stomach grumble and my mouth water!
 
IF that's potato pancakes ,like mine with sour cream and the food processor beats the heck out of hand doing it.
 
judow, we have two machines but my wife is able to hide an aircraft carrier in broom closet and i didnt want to bother her at work so i did it the old fashion way, no blood was shed, i did have soure cream but "the victoria" has a nack for whipping up sauces/dips etc, she made a sweet and sour thingy that realy made the "latke" explode with additional flavor, like the song goes.."she may be ugly but she shure can cook".. :devilgrin: dnk, yes sir, the machine is the way to go. :thumbsup:
