Not until Moodville pointed it out in her comment did I notice that there was a cat present in my submission for the literalism entry. I assure everyone that I did not know prior to entering and apologize profusely for what I have done. I am so ashamed.
;)

| I don't get it. So what? I personally thought this was the best entry of the lot. My only crit is that it looked like it could use a bit more lighting on the "couch". |

| Just humor. Apparently, alot of people are tired of too many cat shots. Anyway, thanks for you compliments, and as far as the lighting, I was kicking myself all week for that. The problem with working with a fresh carved potato is that after an hour or two, it starts to turn brown. That photo was from the second round of pictures and by the time I downloaded them, went through them, etc it was too late to re-use the 'couch'. You can see some of the browning on the surfaces already. I tried carving another one, but it just didn't look as good as the first. The other ideas I wish I had though of before was adding a toy TV in the front and placing a Ken doll in boxers lying on the couch. |

| A light layer of vasoline over the carved parts keeps the potato from turning brown just for future reference. This also works with other things such as apples and pumpkins. :-) |

| Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind if the occasion presents itself again. |

Anything with citric acid (e.g. lemon juice) should preserve the potato as well. |

Citric acid or vaseline? Which do you think is more fun?
