potato

i found this handmade potato magnet at a thrift store and decided to give it to my cousin for christmas.  she wasn't bad.  we once shared an apartment where we hung a ceramic potato high up on the wall.  we declared our residence "the house of the rising potato".  anyway, i'm just wondering who comes up with these things...  potatoes from pantyhose.  i don't think i'll buy this book, or this one.  but they'd be funny to flip through.
