November 1, 2008: My Son, Spud

Quote:

As a father of three daughters, Andrew Stewart has always wanted a son.
So, when his mother handed him a inch-long potato taken from a bag of Maris Pipers with an uncanny likeness to his nephew, he thought his prayers had been answered.

The carpet fitter, of Higher Bank Road, Fulwood, could not believe the likeness the vegetable he has dubbed 'Spuddy' bears to his young six-year-old relative.

The 46-year-old said: "He is only tiny but you can see a little face and even got the hair which looks like it is blowing in the wind; all the neighbours have been over and they cannot believe the likeness.

"My mum, Evelyn, gave it to me and said to give it to my youngest daughter Olivia, 9, and she will not leave him alone now.

Must be something in the genes, the whole family is daft. Or maybe the water, as the reporter seems to be afflicted too.

I predict Progeria in this lad's future.:rolleyes:

I fear the Great Potato Conspiracy has affected the reporter's and the family's mind.
I say, as always, BEWARE OF POTATOES!

Maybe they're just really fucking bored and/or easily amused in Fulwood.

Is it me, or is Spud in a boiled egg in the picture on the left?

What is it with the English and potatoes?

If anyone has read Terry Pratchett's Discworld, there is an interesting potatoe plot element in it.

All in all, I like the occasional British oddball story. Indian oddballs are jumping off roofs and growing 10 foot moustaches. American oddballs are usually good old boys trying out for the Darwin awards or finding religious meaning in toast. British oddballs have that cheery, low-key madness for which people try to find more pleasant synonyms - eccentric, fey, barmy, touched.

Look, Sheldon doesn't seem like the "Deliverance" type, OK?

Deliverance has nothing to do with Gay. Deliverance was about humiliation and dominance, like all rapes.
