.... they're awfully deep. And potatoes? They're round. They roll.

Sometimes, one will get away from you. Worst case scenario is you'll
smell them before you find them. Or maybe the worst is when they
start reaching out for you! Help me!!!

The last potatoes in my fridge were some nice
Yukon gold potatoes that I bought because they
looked so good. I had them at the back of
fridge for a long time, when suddenly I had
a need for something where a potato would do,
and I reached blindly behind all the stuff
in front to grab the bag with the potatoes
in them and . . . YAAAH! What's that?!?

Turned out that the potatoes had sprouted
and produced long thick roots, and I wasn't
expecting that when I grabbed them.

Is there any kitchen smell worse than that lone rotting potato in the
bin? Ugh!

Does it count as a scream if there was nobody
there to hear it?

Let's just say my efforts at any organization like that tend to be
ignored, then I have potatoes and a basket up there. I'll just
have to risk the occasional runaway. But, damn that was
creepy.

I was 13 when the film was released in 1958. Still, the gas chamber scene
scared the hell out of me. It was a true biography of Barbara Graham.

How about a car stinker caused by a package of meat that got loose
from the bag inside my trunk, which I did not see when I unloaded the
groceries, but I sureashell smelled a few days later!
