                                      MR. POTATOHEAD’S RULES FOR DATING

1. Avoid any girl who follows you on Twitter. She’s already stalking you.

2. Avoid Lindsey Lohan. She’s a walking time-bomb.

3. Avoid girls whose clothes are all retro, period costumes. Just trust me on this.

4. Avoid any girl you meet in the basement of The Knitting Factory. That’s Lindsey Lohan.

5. Avoid any girl with tattoos in Chinese. Unless, of course, she’s from China.

Did you know that all technology can be traced back to a stick? For example, a computer is an advanced typewriter, which is an advanced pen, which is an advanced stick in the dirt. What else came from sticks?

Flashlight
Light bulb → oil lamp → torch → stick on fire.

Microwave
Microwave → oven → coal stove → fireplace → campfire → rubbing two sticks.

Fig Newtons
The only exception: there is no precedent for Fig Newtons.

Today the inner Keats that lives in every writer, wrested the keyboard from Kiran and composed the following ditty:

I drink Asian “boba tea”
from a plastic cup,
compliments of Mom.

Tapioca pearls rise
in single file
through a regular size straw.

But suction is problematic.

Oscar the Grouch has emerged from his dank, spoon-bejeweled trash can to helm a new book entitled “What We Eat.” I’m rather certain that Oscar’s version of dining-in isn’t going to apply to many of us, unless you consider a corndog an acceptable amuse-bouche to a main course of ramen noodles. – Shaan
