It's where the South American magic realist tradition meets the cold hard reality of modern vegetables.

i have no money for lunch and the atm is so far away...

my grandmother used to grow smooth black potaoes with shiny lavender insides. ive only seen photos.

when i am having a bad day i blame the nearest potato

rain is very important to all crops, especially the potato.
i have alwyas loved the rain, even as a baby the sound of it falling made me smile

no mr potaothead jokes please, only serious mystical spuds on this thread right here

kyle lost me but i understand

― kephm (kephm), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

rain is very important to all crops, especially the potato

well yes, generally true.
however,
way too much rain giveth the potato much pain.
maketh it rot and wotnot.

polish vodka is the mystic metamorphosis of potato

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

polish vodka can't be surely the only 'otato-vodka?!

corn mysticism is better

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

you americans are getting caught up in bogus idols. where is your dignity?

― kephm (kephm), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

corn is tiresome and hackneyed

― kephm (kephm), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

kephm: the potatoes you speak of are called blue or purple potatoes & can sometimes be difficult to find, but they do exist.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i hope they exist! moms was always a little crazy, but i can't imagine she had photo doctoring skills way back in good ole 1982.

& they were as black, as this nexus mr hand speaks of.
