Damn you all, damn your hides. I was just about to pop a Nyquil and drag my wheezing snuffly ass off to bed for a nice restful coma until my mom comes this afternoon to help with the laundry, but now it appears I shall have to get dressed at some earlier point in the day and go out to procure tater tots for lunch. Curses!

Kristin, so much ~ma to Byron and his surgeon and you.

But then in the '30s, entire crops of tater tots were lost to the tot weevil....

Mmm....fricaseed tot weevil...

Thank goodness that population of Tot Weevil Snakes increased and solved that problem.

Little known fact: The common Tot Weevil Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis totrataenia) is usually adverse to eating tater tots themselves, making them the perfect foil for the tot weevil...they will devour weevils wholesale while leaving the tot intact.

They can, however, be tempted into traps with a handful of Ore-Ida Crinkle Cut French Fries.

(((Kristin))) kitty-ma and computer -ma. I'm sorry your having such a lousy day.

"Sleep! I command you!"

Yeah, good luck with that.

The rugby bar has the option of upgrading to tots when you order anything with fries. awesome.

Oh god, I really have to get back to this restaurant in the South End that has tots instead of frites with the steak. Not just any tots, either - truffle infused shredded potatoes with cheese in the center. SO. GOOOOOD.

OMG, the Splendid Table totally talked about those Truffle tots.

I'm not completely sure those count as tots, but they clearly count as OMG I AM SO THERE ON THE NEXT FLIGHT. So who cares, really?
