The only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the
friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes.

Err... Ahem. It seems our Fearless Leader's fearlessness has caught up
with him. Fought one too many Horrors, leapt off one too many buildings,
one wave short of a shipwreck, no longer using a full deck, a chair
with only three legs, lost all his marbles, ... well you get the idea :)

What songs do you and your friends do anyways? :)

There's a spud joke here, but I won't touch it.

Do you suppose this has anything to do with the "I'm Drunk" message?

I wonder what it could mean?

Either he's losing it for real now, or he was drunk again :)

Okay, for those that don't know, the line is from "Red Dwarf" a british sci-fi
comedy.
The episode is from 'Queeg'.

Hey Fearless Leader, you plagarized.

Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir, but I just moved here to Austin where they show it on

PBS and the first time I saw it I laughed so hard that my stomach muscles hurt.

Okay.... we were afraid the FL had lost it, but we thought that had already
happened, so we were curious....

Red Dwarf is cool... Unfortunately, they don't show it here....

Ummm.... I think he has special permission to...

Really? kool . . .

> Hey Fearless Leader, you plagarized.

Well, I got it from somewhere else that plagerized it. As I've only seen
one episode of Red Dwarf in all my years, and it had nothing to do with
singing potatoes, I obviously wouldn't have known that.

Otherwise, I'm completely bonkers.
