    At least it’s a fresh idea — I’m always rooting for creative new businesses to succeed.

    They’re probably White Rose potatoes. Oh yes — I see his sign says "The original Rose Spud . Perhaps if he were to remove the skins they’d look more a’peeling.

    I predict that on his deathbed, he’ll say “Rose Spud” and everyone will be puzzled.

    I do like the banner animation, but I don’t know what it means. Is the eagle trying to kill the pins?

    iron, evidently they didn’t sell. But he probably should have changed it to Memorial Day…no that probably wouldn’t work either. BTW, is Spuds McKenzie still alive? Anybody?

    That idea was half-baked. He heard potatoes were hot, but they’re not the smash he thought they’d be. He’d have to work a lot more to make them appealing. Irish he’d thought this through.
