Weeks passed while Christopher went about his business, too preoccupied to remember the half bag of potatoes under the sink. Alberstons delivered, and a new bag of potatoes appeared in the bags of food Chris ordered online… his mind, if only for a moment, glossing over faded images of something he once had, once knew… potatoes. As he pecked away at his Albertson order, and stared blankly at his monitor, he must have thought, “I wonder if I have potatoes…” But the glimmer of hope for the forgotten bag was quickly extinguished, and it wasn’t until the day the Albertsons delivery man plunked a brand new 10 lb. bag of Idaho’s finest on the floor, that the discovery was made.
Christopher opened the door beneath the sink. Daylight streamed in, bathing the overgrown potato roots in what they had been longing for… by now, the roots had taken over the confined space below the sink. Their twisted, knotted arms spread over the wall and like a web. And that’s when Christopher laughed and went to get his digital camera.
That is freaking AWESOME!!!
Awesome, yet disturbing…
Alien potatoes?
Alien potatoes make fries that are out of this world. *groan* Okay… I know that was terrible… I apologize profusely.
I think that allowing these potatoes to flurish and live a healthy life right in my kitchen like this is wonderfully progressive and tollerant of me…. next thing you know I’ll stop eating veal… (right….)
Hahahahahaha~!!!
I’ve been known to cultivate several types of obscure fungi inside my fridge. I’ve yet to breed tentacled potatoes in an a dark enclosed area. I wonder what I could do with frozen fries? Love your blog by the way.
Weird and Scary in a way too….
If you think that’s scary, you’ve obviously never been to Christopher’s house.
Plant them. They will grow. They will rule the world.
OMG…. I’m speechless and afraid.
I have to say that I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s afraid of food starting to “grow”. I always say, the only things that scare me (outside the obvious) are roaches, fungi, and potatoes that grow arms and legs. You do not want to be around me when I yelp to be rescued from these things.
Heh, Ya know.. I don’t know if fear is a good word but it certainly took me by surprise.. I was like.. wow.. these grow fast.
How long was it before they start to grow like that?
And I must add, they really look creepy…
That is a great questions.. it could have been months..
FREE THE POTATOES!! POTATOES HAVE FEELINGS TOO! LET THE POTATOES LIVE!
Creepy looking, kinda sci-fi…shudders. Tsk, tsk…now what would Mr. PotatoHead think of this? *joins the “Free The Potatoes” Cult* hehehe
Hahaaaa!! Awesome. Mine never quite get that big. Perhaps it’s too cold in the fridge for them to really take off.
Even to this day there’s something inherently creepy about that picture.
Why?
Its just potatoes…
Biologicaly potatoes aint even vegetables… Theyre just stuff growing from the underground…
Like peanuts…
*Makes a free the peanuts clan*
They’re toooooomerrrrrrs… I mean, uh, tubers.
so are peanuts…
also trufels…
anyone fearing trufels here?
Actually, peanuts are not tubers, and while both potatoes and truffles are tubers, they aren’t (closely) related — potatoes are a vegetable and truffles are fungi.
Yes, I *do* fear truffles and I, too, am freaked out by the picture — not just because of the outlandish potato mutation, but because I pictured Christopher being a *little* cleaner and more organized than THAT!!
Geez, I’m expecting too much from him, I know… in reality he spends most of his time playing GH2 and shooting his nut butter on the lovely Christine’s face for purely cosmetic reasons…
sorry, there was supposed to be a
at the end to indicate my attempt at humor
True. Given all the time he puts into his other “hobbies,” Christopher doesn’t have time to dig out the creepy potatoes that are mutating under his sink.
Thats just wild, I wouldn’t expect them to grow that much.
Neither did Christine lol!
:p (n) (y)
Stop it, Christine, emoticon-only remarks are my domain…
