The Wall Potato
There is a potato on our front wall. I first knew of this from Sj’s tweets yesterday.
@essers: What’s that on our wall? http://twitpic.com/2yscgb
@essers: Well, of course. It’s a potato! #Duh http://twitpic.com/2ysczi
@M4rkm: @essers an apple?
@essers: @M4RKM An apple of the ground, yes…
@essers: @M4RKM Somehow, an apple would have made more sense #thelogicofmisplacedfruit&veg
@CalamityKate @essers I was so confused by that potato this morning!
(Kate is Sj’s eldest)
@essers: @Calamitykate you know it IS potato fairy season…
@essers: Out-thunk again! Don’t mention it on the Oxbridge application… RT @calamitykate: @essers I was so confused by that potato this morning!
@Baroness_Sheene: @essers does that mean your wall is chipped?
@essers: @baroness_sheene Ba-dum tchish! Congratulations on the worst potato joke in response to that picture :D
@HarrietPenguin: @essers well what else was it likely to be? Durr. I knew as soon as I saw it.
@JustKristin: @essers The Potato Placer strikes again! Was the spud able to give you any information?
@M4rkm: @essers what are you going to do with it??
@essers: @M4RKM I am going to watch it carefully, to discern its purpose…
@M4RKM: @essers I bet, that someone will STEAL the potato….
@essers: How can you steal an unowned potato? #Mmmexistential
@M4RKM: @essers i’ll rephrase.. maybe someone will claim ownership of the abandoned potato…
@essers: @M4RKM I am intrigued as to what will happen to the potato, if we just leave it. I wish I had a webcam to watch it…
Today I saw the potato for the first time, upon leaving the house for a run with Smith (the whippet). It was a bit like meeting a vegetable celebrity. I was pleased that it had stayed in place, so that we could see each other.
Later I met Sj from work, and when we got home, I took a picture of the potato (still there) & tweeted the important potato update.
@lauriepink: Wall potato update! It is Still There. http://twitpic.com/2z1zp5
@JustKristin: @lauriepink I really think that someone should go out and talk to the potato, get its demands…
@lauriepink: @justkristin It seems quite stoic. I’m not sure whether it would interact.
The potato remains on the wall. Updates here, as they occur.
