I Lost a Potato Last Night


I Lost a Potato Last Night

points

I am minus one good potato today. Late last night, as I was heading down to the basement to retrieve some clothes from the dryer, I accidentally booted a small baker that had tumbled out of it's little basket located at the head of the stairs. Poor bugger tumbled all the way down, and landed right in the middle of the cat's litter box (located at the bottom of the stairs). It was a sad moment. Briefly I pondered the notion of washing if off, pealing the skin, and having a late night snack. Nope, it wasn't going to happen.

Anything that falls into a box full of crap is a goner: Food products, Ipods, nicknacks, combs, razors...even small children would have to be discarded. In the case of the latter, I just wouldn't explain the reason for putting my kid up for adoption. I'm not stupid. It's a good thing I don't have kids, honestly.

It has now been over 12 hours, and still I grieve. Only a few days old, the little potato was just prime for a spin around the microwave. What a waste! Now I'm not even hungry. The guilt is eating me alive.

Now I know what you're thinking: KJ, your cats are obviously in the litter box everyday. But yet, you don't throw them out.

Well, that's just silly. They have to use the box, don't they? Granted, I'm not particularly pleased with the idea of having them on my lap, knowing full well they might have, minutes before, been squatting at the scene of last night's horrific tragedy. But what are you gonna do?

Perfect

Perfect spooky story - the potato comes back to haunt you. The Spud that wouldn't Die. Maybe nick will even do a cameo when you do the video.

No 20 second rule there!

That's why they make covered cat boxes, first, to prevent food tragedies like this, and two, to prevent dogs from partaking of Kitty Roca.

You did the right thing. There ain't no 20 second rule in this case.

DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?

Heh!

That was great!

And my YouTube "videos watched" total goes up again.

Gotta get that thing covered

Before another incident like this occurs.

Nope, no 20 second rule applies here. If it falls in the crap box, kiss it goodbye! Maybe I'd better rephrase that.

Ha! @kjhack and his lost potato

What a fun read! I never thought I'd read a byte that had "litter box" and "potatoes" together in a tag line. Gee, I hope we're not having potatoes for dinner tonight...

Peace,

Mia NW

Sorry, too late mythman

The potato has long since been laid to rest. I put it in a small cardboard box, and buried after a small ceremony. It's now frolicking with the other potatoes in potato heaven. :)

It may just beget more offspring

Now that you've planted the pre-fertilized spud in the ground, you may find that a little watering causes your recently Roca'd potato soon begets a potato garden. Maybe that will help you augment your AdSense income--a new product line. KJHack's Potato Roca instead of stuffing on Thanksgiving.

Might do well with canines

But none of these mutant spuds will ever find their way into my innards. :)

Poor tater

Sorry for your loss kj (lol)
Perhaps it would have been more fitting to cremate it.
Gosh, I'm baking potatoes right now. Bad timing...........

kjhack's picture

I think you're right

Cremation would have been the better option, since jdubhub's scenario is giving me nightmares. ;)
