Anyway, the local NPR station never called me back about following up on the Mr. Potato Head collection, so I though I might as well post the original call-in session:

Good interview. I played it for my wife because she loves collecting stuff too. She thought your story was great. Unfortunately I mentioned that you have posted pics of your studio with your shelves for your Mr Spuds and she insisted that I look for them to show her. I gave up looking after about 2 minutes.

Holy obsession batman.
I collect shot glasses. My argument is that they are useful and I don't really have that many.
My cats broke 6 of them in their first two years.
bleh, more useless drivel here.

She loves them! But now she is asking me to make similar shelves for her crap. 8)
Q. How many years of marriage does it take to realize that I should just keep my mouth shut?

btw, there is no point in making that a question of the day, as you already know the answer.

Indubitably.

The whole genre was rather nauseating. A good example- Poison's Every Rose (Has its Thorn). Don't look this song up if you've never heard it, some things are better left unheard. You *will* vomit, I guarantee it.
Hmmm. Maybe it's good that I missed the whole power ballad music phase. I've heard that the 80s were just bad all around.

Then you've heard wrong. Except maybe about the power ballads.

Spud, I notice a severe absence of
Optimash in your collection.

Well, first, that's not my whole collection. But yeah, I am sadly lacking in both the Optimash and the Darth Tater. Feel free to send them to me. Anyone.

They had some Optimash down here a couple of weeks ago. I'll head over to Toys R Us on the weekend and see what I can dig up.

Those potato heads are cool, but it looks like they all share the same thyroid condition. Hope they're ok.

It's not a thyroid condition, it's a tuber. *budump bump*
