I understand when and how to use it but how did this come about?
I think I went away for a bit, came back and every one is using it. Now my curiosity has taken over and I need to know. So please someone enlighten me.

A mighty and beevolent republic of potatoes was spread throughout. Over many different worlds and cultures. Eventually this republic became more and more beauracratic. Leading to overall cultural stagnation, this began presenting opportunities for more evil vegetables to spread their insidiousness throughout. After making a clone army of peas to defeat a manufactured enemy, these evil vegetables spread the order for the peas to attack the potato waffle knights, defenders of tuber rightness. With no-one to oppose them, the potato crisps showed themselves and turned the republic into a galaxy wide empire.
Eventually, the son of one of the crisps (though he didn't know it) became a waffle (somehow, we don't ask) and helped the ever growing rebellion destroy the crisp's mighty cabbage destroying weapon. Moving on to lead the revolt against the empire, the waffle learnt who his father was. This crisp's last act was to melt and turn waffle shape, thus ridding the galaxy of the evil emporer (who may or may not have looked like the pope)
So, there you go. Pretty obvous.0 -

We met George Lucas in a pub in Newton Stuart last week. He didn't say he was and we didn't ask. But it was him. He was a bit big, had a beard and was American. Therefore, George Lucas.
Then I ate haggis and it was good.0 -
