Flee Tatertot, they have found you, head for the hills! * * * It only hurts when I laugh. ---

tatertot, I only guessed your name’s meaning for fun - you mean I got it right?! woo-hoo! ---

Top Secret: elelle, even though it means risking my life, I’ve decided to go on with Project Tatertot, in the name of god, country, and Cecil. Through my secret channels, I’ve managed to find out the name of the bank where Coldfire works, and if you can find bjOrn (shouldn’t be hard, Iceland is a pretty small country) we should be able to proceed as planned with the meeting. Negotiations will probably be messy, but well worth it in the long run. Please destroy this message after reading. As an aside, what exactly are they arguing about? I’ve been tempted to barge into a thread and ask, but something tells me, nah, girl DON’T go there. * * * glee - yup, you got it right. You mean they don’t have tatertots in England? I would’ve thought ya’ll would have mastered the potato by now! 🙂 ---

I think the anti-Coldfire flame has pretty much died by now. Let’s just say I made fun of bj0rn in an inappropriate place (GD). It was a rather innocent joke anyway… ## All seems better now. If you must, invite the guy. Although the first round is on him, in that case… Coldfire * * * “You know how complex women are” - Neil Peart, Rush (1993) ---

tatertot, well, I think Sir Walter Raleigh brought the potato to Europe (tobacco as well), so it’s important to us Brits. We use words like: potato (specially for D. Quayle) potatoes (e.g. jacket) chips fries crisps (to us, these are dry thin fried snacks - probably little actual potato is involved) Bet you never thought the thread would go in this direction… ---

tatertot: If you’d like more background, go to kellibelli’s TROLL LIST thread in the Pit.(sorry, haven’t learned to link yet, and am too crapped out from work to try here) Note: if you’re serious about Project Tatertot, the entire thread must be read in one sitting. Be forewarned, your head might explode.Remember your training and remain impassive in the face of senseless slaughter. Resist the impulse to insert punctuation. And remember: ours is not to reason why… and that Iceland has still active volcanoes. If I am unable to complete my assignment this spring, I will see to it that some dirt from William Faulkner’s grave is airlifted in. This is a Mississippi secret weapon. I trust you know how to use it. Memphis Night Train hijacking completed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/european-dopers/10519.md?page=5)
