Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Contemplative says,

Claimed stake to this one as a favorite right away. Hope you didn't fry your brain thinking of this. What a peel. Awesome!

Heem08 says,

You have to fry that sucker!lol

TeaTopper says,

This is so Poe! ;)

TheProsperousArtist says,

Poe-Tay-Toe!

TheProsperousArtist says,

Watch out, potato! I have a peeler, and I'm not afraid to use it!

TeaTopper says,

Sometimes it helps to talk to a sweet potato.

Dean6805 says,

Way to go!

BanjoDan says,

congrats on a well deserved MOTD and pass some potatos!

canadafreeze says,

Very clever:-) and congrats on the feature. A little levity is a good thing to go with my morning coffee. Keep 'em coming.

Bevvie says,

kudos on the MOTD.

maryjane31 says,

Just loved this. So very clever. Congrats to you as well.

bbhead says,

Hahahahahaha!

JAD says,

clever!

TheProsperousArtist says,

Wow, I just (12:50pm) now found out about the MOTD!
(Because Contemplative came into my room to congratulate me...)

I must confess, I love this one. It was inspired by Contemplative's "Mr. Potato Head" post - I just got the word "potato" in my head and the image of body parts on a potato, realized it had "eyes" ... a LOT of eyes ... and so out popped this.

Makes me laugh out loud every time I think of it. Because it's so absurd and silly!

Reminds me of the song "Psycho Killer" - in his murderous insanity, he's fixated on really trivial things: "I hate people when they're not polite", "You're talking a lot but you're not saying anything". Potatoes. (Okay, so David Byrne didn't sing about potatoes, but if he'd caught one looking at him, I bet he would have!)

jl333 says,

Anything with the word 'potato' catches my attention! Congrats on MOTD.

ba_miracle says,

Love LOVE it and the back-story!

MaggieFoxxx says,

It's got eyes!

Sagacious says,

That's because it "only has eyes for you, dear." Think The Flamingos.

Believe says,

So cute.

TheProsperousArtist says,

You mean my potato is OGLING me?!
Now that's just creepy....

Dean6805 says,

I'm thinking of the Lewis Grizzard book, "Don't Bend Over In The Garden, Granny. You Know Them Taters Got Eyes!"

TheProsperousArtist says,

I am unfamiliar with this book, but from now on I will always dress conservatively for gardening!

RedStickWriter says,

I love Grizzard. Bless his heart, may he rest in peace. That was his book about sex. Every time he needed to use a sex word, he replaced it with woo woo. He was always noted for the long titles of his books, such as Shoot Low Boys, They're Riding Shetland Ponies. Only allowed 49 years ... imagine the stories Lewis didn't get to tell us.

RedStickWriter says,

TPA: Be careful of those taters. They have been know to ply people with vodka.

TheProsperousArtist says,

RSW, potatoes make vodka? Isn't that cannibalism?

singlethought says,

I'm unattractive and half blind. No potato would stare me down. After all, if it did, I wouldn't be able to tell. Wish I had an extra pair of eyes in a bucket somewhere, or perhaps a new body... A new life maybe? Too many potatoes, not enough hashbrowns. 10% all peel and the rest, French fried.

Butted-in to say, "Congrats on motd." Lol. What next, your piece pipe;)

Dhani says,

(My 'Mr. Potato' still CHIPS away at falsehoods/ in six words.)

DynamicDbytheC says,

I wouldn't worry about the potato as much as Humpty Dumpty. The eggs will scramble your brain every time.

TheProsperousArtist says,

I posted about "Empty Dumpty" once before (when "empty" was RWOTD).

Eggs are indeed a whole other matter, DD.
Hard shells, yellow hearts, cracked. Come in dozens.
Even scarier with hash browns.
They are in league with the potatoes, after all.
Beware of breakfast. Don't even get me started on bacon.

Dhani says,

Dynamic: That may be true only for eggheads...

Amapola says,

I see a carved potato, maliciously staring at you while you grill it on the bbq. I also see a giant dumb ass couch potato occupying your living room, uninvited ;-)

Potatoes never became this grim.

TheProsperousArtist says,

I see that too. Oh wait, that's ME on the couch.

Oh, Amapola, you underestimate those potatoes. Keep your eyes peeled.
