The dark side of Mr. Potato Head

A spud on the dark side. That's how toy maker Hasbro Inc. is promoting its latest Mr. Potato Head figure, Darth Tater.

The toy spud will be available next month, ahead of the May release of "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith," the latest installment in that film series.

Darth Tater will come with a light saber, cape and helmet, in addition to the regular Mr. Potato Head accessories such as eyes, mouth and nose.

The Pawtucket-based toy maker says children will be able to "have all kinds of mix n' match, Mr. Potato Head fun with this wacky spud dressed as the infamous `Star Wars' villain, Darth Vader."

>>^..^ Wow you are easily entertained, my little friend.
Actually I'm not! I couldn't tell you what struck me as so hilarious about this picture...(It appears the "funk" from the other day has gone buh-bye..)

Luke..... use the Fork

Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Fork. And a powerful ally it is. Man creates it. Makes it strong. Its energy surrounds us... and stabs us. Nutritous foods are we... not this crude starch. You must feel the Fork around you. Here... between you and me, the corn, the roast beef. Everywhere. Yes... even between the plate and the mouth.
