We almost forgot this

Man, how could we almost forget to post this? Luckily, a dark vision crept over us just as we were about to shut down and it was accompanied by a chant from someone who appeared to be a Seinfeld-ian Potato Nazi shouting "no more potatoes for you" or maybe it actually was an adulterated version of "...yes, we have no potatoes, we have no potatoes today..."

A potato ban, a lifetime one. Carb hell. No more fries...mashed or as a salad -- nada...hash browns just out of reach...

But fear not, we're coming through and you Verlin-ites can back off. Do check out this score and we offer a hearty congratulations to the State of Spuds.
