Hope you enjoy it!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?Are you sure?**OK! Here it is!****A COMMON TATER :roll:
The Potato Story
- Thread starter oldyaker
- Start date
I see someone has a very busy day in the hanger today. :roll:
Looking forward to more but for now it is time to have a sip of wine on the back porch and to think/contemplate what I will do with the potatoes for supper tonight since you brought that thought up.
This retired life sure is a lot of work..... Which glass and which wine for thinking........ YES... That is the best one , for sure and it is chilled.
Lets see , some shrimp as the main item , so the spuds can be fried , chipped , baked , broiled , smashed , scalloped.
..... No....none of those ....... :evil:
They will be in a potato salad to complement the shrimp and the baked beans.
Yak... Thank you , I really mean that ... Thank You. I wasn't sure what the have with the shrimp tonight.... Was thinking of noodles or rice but no more. Thank You , Thank You , Thank You for something different tonight.
Now off for that sip of wine or in your case whine since you are not here.
Here's a toast to you .... May you stay at work ( someone has to ) your best ideas come from there and keep them coming. :? :lol: :lol:
