Flora J. Thompson is fed up and she's not gonna take it anymore.
I will probably have every farmer, fertilizer company and corporation on my neck after this letter. I do not care.[font=-apple-system]Nowadays, I would rather not eat potatoes. Do not say it is me. I have been peeling spuds for over 65 years and they have changed with the types of potato farming. Do Islanders get the seconds, scrubs, culls or what?[/font]

a bit of spudtacular context: Mrs. Flora J. Thompson is from Prince Edward's Island, Canada's smallest province - but its
largest producer of taters. growing up, PEI was known for exactly two things, and [font=Verdana]two things [/font]only: anne of green gables, and potatoes. we must heed her words - this is like a old-time marylander waxing on about crab cakes, or a kentuckian putting down the law on bourbon. RECOGNIZE AUTHORITY.

[font=verdana]All hail our new Potato Head overlords![/font]
[font=verdana]Lindsay Canadian Tire is investigating a glitch that caused every store item to scan as a Mr. Potato Head game earlier this morning.[/font]
Staff at the store [reported that] foul play isn’t suspected as the glitch only impacted a handful of stores, but Canadian Tire’s head office is investigating. No service interruptions are expected for the rest of the day.

West potato
Starchy mama
Potato hole
Take me home

More potato rage:
And my question is, how old do they think we are? How old do the people who are selling the potatoes think the people who are buying the potatoes are? Do they think we are children? No they don’t. They know children don’t buy raw potatoes.
