Let's all keep in mind over this wonderful Thanksgiving holiday that Sweet Potatos are a myth, perpetrated by the United States government, and taken in wholly and unquestioningly by the American public.

The Pilgrims did not die at Pearl Harbor so that Andrew Jackson's 200 year old Sweet Potato farce could continue to be thrust upon the American people.

Take arms, brothers and sisters! Take arms against the tyranny of the "Sweet" Potato!

See, this is what I'm talking about. The government has agents everywhere.


Sojourner Truth didn't make that speech at Gettysburg for this. No sir.

i thought you meant "perpetuated" but then i thought about it again

11/24/2009 1:06:56 AM

I know the people who breed for a better sweet potato. Don't be hatin!!!

Speakin of which, do you know how much money NCSU gets from ornamental sweet potatos? Those things are everywhere.

11/24/2009 1:09:20 AM

Oh sure, everybody knows someone who claims to know someone who has seen a "Sweet" Potato.


But the fact of the matter is that no one has actually ever seen one.


I've been hearing ridiculous things like FRENCH FRIES being made out of these so-called "SWEET" potatoes.


That's how you KNOW this game of government-sponsored telephone has gone on for too long!

[Edited on November 24, 2009 at 1:15 AM. Reason : SWEET POTATO FRENCH FRIES? PREPOSTEROUS.]

11/24/2009 1:14:29 AM

^ Yeah, the sweet potato is big at NCSU. Get on board!

Oh, mercy, yes, we got to beat that competition.

11/24/2009 1:16:22 AM

mmm sweet potato fries......

11/24/2009 1:16:34 AM

Sir Jadn,

How do you feel about yams?

Sincerely,

Your Adoring Public

11/24/2009 1:19:31 AM

I could go for some sweet potato fries right now.

11/24/2009 1:19:46 AM

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that sweet potatoes and yams are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

One is a monocot root and the other a dicot stem.

11/24/2009 1:24:08 AM

11/24/2009 1:25:31 AM

THINK ABOUT IT


If "sweet" potatoes were real, then how come the Irish didn't eat THEM when the great potato famine hit in the 1800s?


It's like "Man, we're all out of potatoes..... I guess we could make some shit with the sweet ones we have. That way we won't go hungry and all, and won't have to migrate to America where we'll be ridiculed for our red hair, alcoholism, short stature, pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons, green clovers, blue diamonds, purple horse shoes, red balloons, matching green suspenders, and bowling hats."


You know why?


BECAUSE "SWEET" POTATOES ARE A MYTH.

[Edited on November 24, 2009 at 1:28 AM. Reason : Yams exist. There is proof. "Sweet" Potatoes are PURE FICTION.]

11/24/2009 1:26:31 AM

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO CONVINCE YOU PEOPLE?


A BOOK FROM DAN BROWN?

11/24/2009 1:28:52 AM

this thread delivers the lol's

11/24/2009 1:30:55 AM

This is all just a communication breakdown. Obivously someone just said, "Man, this is a sweet potato." Much in the same way I could describe a desirable car as being a "sweet fucking car, man."

11/24/2009 1:31:27 AM

that's a spicy ass-potatoe you have there

11/24/2009 1:32:41 AM

I think that's where it started, but then Andrew Jackson got together with his evil fucking cabal and turned it into something much more sinister.



What's awful is how the American public laughs openly at Scientology because it was created after a bet by L. Ron Hubbard, but they are oblivious to the fact that Andrew Jackson pulled the wool over their eyes with the story of "sweet" potatoes when he signed the Treaty of Versailles.

11/24/2009 1:35:00 AM

Are you sure? I thought they came over on the Mayflower, after Neil Armstrong discovered a sweet potato farm on the far side of the moon? Or am I mixing that up with green bean casserole?

11/24/2009 1:37:09 AM

these sound like mad libs

11/24/2009 1:45:10 AM

As the week goes on, I plan on showing you guys just how easily Jackson pulled the wool over your eyes.


But for now, it's bedtime.

11/24/2009 1:47:15 AM

Yo dawg, sweet potatoes are from South America. No wonder Brazilians are so much hotter than the Irish. I mean damn, 5000 years of eating nasty ass white potatoes versus eating delicious sweet potatoes will have some crazy effects on society!

Also, NC is the sweet potato capital of the USA, although almost all sweet potatoes come from China these days.

DELICIOUS

11/24/2009 2:54:05 AM

Sweet potatoes are an edomite lie.

[Edited on November 24, 2009 at 5:29 PM. Reason : also i hate sweet potatoes]

11/24/2009 5:28:48 PM

I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed that you haven't seen the light yet. One day you'll grow up and see. Sweet potatoes have done nothing but provide goodness and you want to take that away from them. They grow in the ground dude! IN THE GROUND! Which is where you will be eventually. So respect they SPUD, YOU RACIST. Hatin on my orange friends. Do you hate Oompa Loompas too?

Naw, I ain't mad We tight like for real. I think you are still cool peps

[Edited on November 24, 2009 at 5:31 PM. Reason : .]

IMPOSSIBLE TO FARM THEM FOR FUN, AS THEY ARE NON-EXISTANT

11/24/2009 8:35:36 PM

I love sweet potatoes. Sweet potato chips, sweet potato fries, and just straight up baked sweet potatoes. Had a sweet potato roll at YoHo the other week - and I'd do it again.

11/25/2009 12:41:40 PM

what is a sweet potato roll

11/25/2009 1:33:19 PM

i'm guessing it's a roll made out of sweet potato.

i mean, they have potato rolls. why not sweet potato rolls?

Fries or chips I can deal with (mainly b/c they're fried I guess)

Anything else?
