Black Sun Chip = the word is “burnt”

Green potato chip = IIRC, that just means that the potato was sticking out of the ground a bit and just got a little extra chlorophyll (sp?) because of exposure to the elements. I’m almost positive I read that in “Imponderables” or one of the series. I’m at work right now, but I can look it up later or tomorrow to confirm if someone doesn’t get a definate answer by then.

Cecil did a column about it; should be in the archives. It’s in the second book as well.

By the way, anyone else besides me read the OP and remember the adult joke with the last line: “Tell you what, you don’t mention the black sheep, I won’t mention the white baby…”?

Yes. It prefers to be called African American.
