It's the most a-peeling day of the year

 The entire state of Idaho is partying like it's 1999. Actually they are partying like it is 1980 because the state is in a time warp and it is always the 1980s there. Well, sometimes it is the 1970s.  Regardless the land of Famous Potatoes must really be happy that it is National Potato Day. Actually the Idaho Potato Commission is probably happy. Most people in Idaho don't give a shit about potatoes.

I grew up in Idaho and I don't give a shit about potatoes. Oh, I like eating them, but I was very happy when I left the state and no longer had a license plate that proudly proclaimed, "Famous Potatoes." I don't even think Mr. Potato Head was from Idaho.

Now he was a real Famous Potato.  He even made it into "Toy Story." Don Rickles was the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the "Toy Story" movies. Even after he died in 2017 they kept using his voice. It's a wonder that the National Enquirer didn't run a story at the time saying "Mr. Potato Head speaks to us from the grave in Toy Story 4." 

I sold another t-shirt today.

I'm pretty proud of this one, because I created it a few months ago totally on my own without the help of my AI art friends.  I am so happy that someone somehow found it and liked it so much they bought it. Who knows, maybe the Dalai Lama bought it. I bet he has a sense of humor even if he is the the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and probably a vegetarian. 

Okay, it's highly unlikely but I'd like to think he will soon be posting selfies on Instagram wearing my shirt. Or maybe he will also buy one of my "Swine Flew" t-shirts because pigs will have to fly before it happens.
