For most of us the concept of
a flying potato is new, odd, impossible, or all of the above. Not so for the actual
potato who consider themselves
rather adept at the science of flight. Potatoes left unattended will grow long
spindly tentacle like potato wings,
perfect for propelling them thru the air in a flight-like manner. Potato flight
is not particularly graceful like
that of a hawk or pelican who glides gracefully on updrafts like a stunt plane
performing aerobatics. The potato
is a get it done flyer who flaps it's ungainly tentacles like hell until it
eventually clears the ground, only to abruptly fall back to terra
firma if it doesn't keep flapping. Potatoes fly
about as well as a flying squirrel, which could actually be termed
a falling squirrel. Potatoes do not build nests,
lay oviparous eggs, migrate, or whistle pretty little melodies
from the tops of trees. They do however make great
hash browns. I like potatoes, especially when they are flying in
formation. This little blurb on "tators' makes
about as much sense as my Flying Potato cartoons. I hope they serve
to entertain and bewilder you.
