for the potato fears not death
@UncleDuke1969 “Caution, potato will be LIVID!”
@UncleDuke1969
It’s not whistling, it’s screaming

@UncleDuke1969

Even more disturbing than the pan that warps halfway through roasting things. Bang!

@UncleDuke1969
When you're chewing on life's gristle |
Don't grumble, give a whistle |
And this'll help things turn out for the best
@UncleDuke1969 I want my potato to be playing the lead guitar lick from Comfortably Numb.
@UncleDuke1969 I bet its whistling "always look on the bright side of life"

@UncleDuke1969 The racist ones whistle Dixie
@UncleDuke1969 potato sings … always look on the bright side of life … and gives a little whistle
@UncleDuke1969
Not only that if you put it in a machine to heat it up it might get hot.
@UncleDuke1969
My potatoes whistle while they 'wave it.
@UncleDuke1969 I always get grossed out when food does that!
@UncleDuke1969 They are downright jaunty in this house
@UncleDuke1969 Huh... I didn't know that Sontarans whistled while being nuked
@UncleDuke1969 here’s a potato peeling itself
@UncleDuke1969 I incinerated a small potato in our microwave once. Hit the potato button and walked away like I had done many times but forgot about it. For unknown reasons the sensor never clicked and it just kept going. The fire alarm was kind enough to let me know things were not going according to plan. After the fire was put out, only char remained. I have a photo of it somewhere. Amazingly the microwave was not damaged and still works years later, even the potato button.
@UncleDuke1969

As long as the potato can carry a tune, who cares.
@UncleDuke1969 The James Bond of vegetables!
@UncleDuke1969 whistling accompanies potato on transformation to magnificent final form (baked potato)
@UncleDuke1969 who makes potatoes in microwave
@RafiX @UncleDuke1969
Students, who have more important things to do than cook......
and me, when no-one's looking....
@chewie how the hell did you find this reply from 2 years ago
hell, nearly 2 and a half
@RafiX 🤣 someone boosted it I guess, and my server forgets nothing, NOTHING I TELL YOU!!!1!1!eleven!!1!
@RafiX Oh, and i recently installed v4.5 which seems to be doing a decent job of pulling in old replies :)
@UncleDuke1969 Is it whistling the tune from "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life"?
@UncleDuke1969
every day for over 40 years I've eaten 8-12 microwaved potatoes a day, and yet they still whistle in the microwave. Amazing. The very epitome of optimism.
@UncleDuke1969 thanks for tooting about this.
@UncleDuke1969 and the beet with catch on fire
@UncleDuke1969
Not the only thing that's whistling.

@UncleDuke1969 Definitely a case of "Why? WHY?! Because F*CK YOU, THAT'S WHY!"

@UncleDuke1969 @optimiced potato: whistles
me: oh hey babe, what’s up? 🥹👉👈
@UncleDuke1969 look, you're the one that has to be careful here. The potato fears not your puny machine.
@UncleDuke1969
Somewhere I have a recipe for a cake that sings in the oven
@UncleDuke1969 the potato: 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵

@UncleDuke1969 @trabern

So… seems nobody in the replys mentioned you can poke a potato several times all over with a knife or fork before wrapping it, and… (ta-dah!) no whistling!

…Not that I have anything against ocarina-wannabes 🤣…

But also, no exploding in the “nuker”! (Which is the why-we-poke-it.)

@UncleDuke1969 "Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect
And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid."
@UncleDuke1969 oh, this is funny 🤣😂🤣 but true!
@UncleDuke1969 It looks on the bright side of life. Always.
@UncleDuke1969 Man, I've had rice hum "The Star-Spangled Banner", but never had a potato whistle "Dixie".

@UncleDuke1969 “on High”

because Watt numbers are too SI for americans…

@UncleDuke1969 also, “High” must be pretty low if it takes 6–8 minutes for a potato, when ours take aboue 4½ minutes.
@UncleDuke1969
Just so long as it doesn't whistle "Tom's Diner"; I fucking hate that song.
