year of the potato

Its official!!! All hail to the potato as 2008 is the year of the potato!!!

every root has its day

It gets even better: We even have a song! Haha.. I am so humbled by this sudden display of gratitude! To quote Wikipedia, the unassuming root plays an important role "in providing food security and eradicating poverty", and that 2008 is the year to acknowledge "(the) contribution of the potato to defeating hunger".

Alright, altogether now:
"So pick up your feet
And put'm back down
It's time for a powerful
Potato countdown"

=P
