Since when are potatoes not considered candy?

[democracyindanger]

Kids these days. Spoiled rotten, I tell ya.

1. Since the potato famine.

Blame the British.

2. Back in my day we got potatoes on Halloween and liked it!

:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

Damn you're old.

:P

[NMMNG]

6. You bet

I rode dinosaurs with Adam and Steve. :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. Queer.

:rofl:

[NMMNG]

12. Bite me.

:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. You wish.

:P

[JVS]

10. Back in my day, we didn't have potatoes yet. Only turnips!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. Nah, that's just because Pittsburgh is fucked up.

3. We walked uphill both ways

for just the rumor of a picture of a potato.

8. If you were a good little kid,

The Great Pumpkin would have brought you a real potato, but you weren't worthy.

4. In the heyday of New Orleans' St. Paddy's Day parade,

not only were potatoes thrown from floats, so were cabbages. If you were agile and quick enough, you could catch your dinner! Alas, the rise of the litigious society put an end to all that...

9. If the people on balconies

threw potatoes at the people on floats--then that would be something I'd be all for.

5. Thank you!!

:rofl:

Would they prefer an apple?

[Deja Q]

13. The day people remembered they are not made for potato chips?

:evilgrin:

[greendog]

15. If any kids knock on my door tonight they're getting...

...frozen peas. 13 peas to a customer (think that's too many?).

[driver8]

16. I can't believe the kids don't appreciate the packets of soy sauce

I've been handing out.

Hell, I've got a whole drawer full of 'em...why spend money on candy?

(Did I hear this on Bill Maher? I can't remember where I heard it.)
