Covered with butter and sour cream. Dig it from the ground and scrape off the mud; Never was a tater like the Idaho spud. (although I wouldn't recommend eating green potatoes.)

JHCC Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hey, I don't write the songs. And yeah, I've eaten -- and grown! -- plenty of Green Mountain potatoes. As for limericks: There once was a man from Anjou, Whose limerick stopped at line two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Oh joy now I have an "Idaho Spud" earworm! I'll admit looking up the name of the toxin found in chlorophyll just like I had to look up how to spell chlorophyll. Let Google fill the holes in your memory caused by age and timber! Solanine content increases in the parts of a potato plant containing chlorophyll as an insecticide and deterrent to being eaten. Causes nausea, headaches and neurological problems in excess. Unless migraine type headaches and nausea, severity depending on how much you can force down, it's unlikely a person could eat enough potatoes at one sitting to kill themselves. Solanine is the toxin found in Nightshade and relatives. Don't eat tomato leaves OR green tomatos, not even breaded and fried! Unless you're more sensitive than normal a baked green potato or a couple slices of green tomato aren't likely to have noticeable effects on you. Do NOT eat the leaves, stems, shoots, etc., those will make you wish you hadn't! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithradates Methodology? Clue us in please, is there a recipe involved? Do I really have to Google it myself? I'm really trying to hang onto my youth what's left of it so I'm trying to avoid as much honest research as possible but I dearly do love a good recipe. Okay I couldn't resist and looked. I'll pass on any recipes. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a king reigned in the East: There, when kings will sit to feast, They get their fill before they think With poisoned meat and poisoned drink. He gathered all that springs to birth From the many-venomed earth; First a little, thence to more, He sampled all her killing store; And easy, smiling, seasoned sound, Sate the king when healths went round. They put arsenic in his meat And stared aghast to watch him eat; They poured strychnine in his cup And shook to see him drink it up: They shook, they stared as white’s their shirt: Them it was their poison hurt. —I tell the tale that I heard told. Mithridates, he died old. (From "A Shropshire Lad" by A.E. Housman: LXII. "Terence, this is stupid stuff") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in Oly, WA Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 "You Belong to Me" still stuck in there, but "Something" by the Beatles, "Oh, Boy!" by Buddy Holly and Marty Robbins' "El Paso" floated through yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Understandable, spring irrigation has started and so there is enough water in the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo to float a song. Last week it was more suitable for Beach Vollyball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Sometimes the name of a song just pops into your mind. I had a hole punch slug drop near my foot and immediately thought of Jumping Jack Flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
