I went to the toy store looking for the bits as they where when I was a kid, you know the mouth, eyes etc to stick on a real potato and found to my amazement that you can just get it now with a plastic potato already provided. Where´s the fun in that? Found it too expensive and went with another idea. Still... weird evolution of what was once such a wonderful toy.
(I do like the character in the Toy Story series though, how he keeps losing his bits all the time. My daughter thinks that´s hysterical. Although Buzz is still one of my favorite movie-characters of all time. I don´t know why, but I have a soft spot for him, especially in part II when he finds out he can´t really fly. Anyway, this is getting off-topic) |
Funny story...(and my Mother did laugh at this) my mother had many different "parts/pieces" that we were always trying to located in her later years as she would forget (Alzheimer's) where she would put things so we teased her that she needed to become a Mrs. Potato Head and store all her bits n pieces in her "compartment"...she would laugh |

Yeah. I was thinking the same. It had a lot of what I expected to see, and a whole lot more of what I didn't expect to see. |
Not voted in these yet, but went through them all last night and was not thrilled. Some VERY nice clean creative shots, but a whole lot of spuds. :) |
klkitchens do you like being the barrier of bad news?? LOL sorry just pickin but it seems as if you are never happy :)

You have rated 66 of 66 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 66 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.1818.
Just finished voting and commenting on every photo in the challenge. Congratulations to everyone as this was a particularly difficult subject to get anything "outstanding" with but, some of you managed nicely! :) The average score I gave was higher but there were a couple that I just couldn't give decent scores to as one was a shoehorn and one, I think was mis-entered??? Not sure what that one was all about but, it was a nice shot! :)
ETA: Other than these two and one that was just not quite up to snuff, the lowest scores I gave out were 5's. :)
