No More ‘Mr Potato Head’!

???

Oh, there was a Mrs. Potato Head around years before Toy Story ever came out. We got a Mrs. Potato Head when I was a child, probably a good five years or so before Toy Story.

Terribull ???

I failed to curtsey to King Edward this evening.
He said 'Orf with her head'!
So I chopped him and (s)mashed him.

agnurse yes, Toy Story is 1995 and my oldest DD had a Mr PotatoHead in the 1970s.
He didn't have a wife

We got both the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head years before Toy Story came out.

First real laugh Ive had in ages.

I used to think that "Woke" was what I did first thing in the morning!
We are being bullied my a minority who are determined to take offence at anything. They will try to convince you that the colour of your garage door is racist.
They have to little to do, and should get a life!
OH and I are old enough to be content with what we have and not to try to dominate everyone else's lives.
Now that makes me a Grumpy Old Something (Non gender specific?)

I don't understand why people are so annoyed about this. Why should a potato be assumed to be male? It is a potato!

I'm with you absent and Ilovecheese. It's a spud. They don't have genitalia or gender identity.

Storm in a chip shop.

I had a Mr Potato Head in the ‘50s. No wonder I grew up so sexist!

I think there is a tendency to underestimate the piece of plastic the individual formerly known as Mr Potato Head. I think as potatoes go, he is multi layered, one only has to see that when he they present as a Dauphinoise. Furthermore they are blessed with an intuitiveness that goes beyond the realms of anything Mattel could possibly have imagined. Did they not inform the world of "laser envy" ? even Fraud himself hadn't come up with that one Clearly Potato Head, as he is now known smashed it when he revealed that to an in thrall audience of Toy Story 1.

Hahahahahaha Terribull, smashed it. Excellent. Made me actually laugh aloud.

Gaga Jo when you're back with your little grandson again, and if you get the chance, sit down and watch that film with him. My little boy was about 5 when we saw it when it first came out. He sat through it agog. I remember thinking what a great children's film it was. Possibly a Pixar first so that animation was quite ground breaking then. The dialogue was very clever with adult overtones that went right over the heads of the children it was aimed at.

My bloke loves it, and I watched it with him, but animation isn't my thing. But you're right, I will do ANYTHING for my GS, so I will give it a go. Thank you for the recommendation.

I despair that I live in a time when someone was actually paid to consider the gender of a plastic potato!

Terribull.

Let's not forget Miss Sweet Potato. But there again, she's quite thick skinned!

EXACTLY Oldwoman70. Really, WGAF.
