A root vegetable. For some reason, a popular subject in Flash cartoons.
Can be boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew.
Can be given to the girl you love as a way of saying "I have many ways in which I show my love for you, and
it doesn't matter at all what
you look like, I will still love you." Doesn't always work. Better than roses because roses are just a way of saying, "My love for you is transitory and based solely on your appearance."
Sometimes acts rather strange, repeating its name
over and over, hopping around on a pogo stick, and saying "Chips!" shortly after unexpectedly being turned into fries.
What's taters, precious?
Po-ta-toes!
Po-ta-toes!
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!
Pooootato, potato, potato.
NefClock: Roses? No, dude, you should give her a potato.
OmniClock: A potato? Why?
Nef: Well, there are a lot of reasons. Roses only last, like, a couple of weeks, and that is if you leave them in water. And they really only exist to be pretty, so that's like saying "
My love for you is transitory, and based solely on your appearance." But, a potato! Potatoes last forever. Not only will it not rot, but it actually grows stuff. There are so many ways to enjoy a potato! You can even make a battery with it! And that is like saying, "I have many ways in which I show my love for you." Potatoes may not look much, but they're still awesome. So that is like saying, "
It doesn't matter at all what
you look like, I will still love you."
