About Me:
Only two people born after 1930 are acceptable. Geordi and
Pensel, and sometimes I'm not sure about Pensel. Other than
that, you will have to prove to me you are of good
character if you are born after 1930. Fact of life.
-
Who I Want to Meet:
People born before 1930. I suppose if you were born so far
in the future that time started over, that would count, too.

you have thought of a clever name?
Like arrugula or leek or raddish?
"Potato" came back into my life after he
traumatically left my life a few years ago
and I haven't seen him since. I was
reading my friends page on Live
Journal one day (he hadn't posted in
quite a while). I was bored, and I
decided to take a little quiz to see who
my Live Journal affair would be with (or
something dumb like that). And when I
saw "Potato's" name, I couldn't help but
burst out laughing! Not because I
wouldn't love for that to happen (even
though last time I checked he doesn't
bat for my team), but because I hadn't
thought about him in a while. Here's
to "Potato." May he not sprout, and may
he update his Live Journal a bit more
often so I can at least follow his life a bit
better if I can't see him as often as I
want to!
Potato is suddenly such an expert in
the field of gesticulating. I mean,
Baby Mo Peanuckle was a fine
gesticulator... one of the very
best... a legend. But what Potato
fails to realize is that, while, yes,
it went underground for a few years
there, post-WWII gesticulating has far
surpassed that of the pre-1930
generation that Potato seems so fixed
on. A much darker, world weary
gesticulating emerged. We've
developed gestures unimaginable to
even the likes of Mr. Peanuckle. So
let's not forget modern greats like
Hobart Dimpleton, Chuck Mann, Nappy
Napps, Perry Como (yes, the Perry
Como), and dare-I-say, me. And if you
don't think I'm one of the best, if
not THE best, I invite you to look at
my record. I think I've made my point.
would have more friends. I can't be
picky in outer space. In the next
generation you have to make do with who
you got. Maybe Potato's feelings are
justified by his not being a part of
the next generation...I don't know I
have always been a part of it, ever
since I was a baabay.
