That's like...the musical equivalent of giving a cow an enema.

I dub it the "Spud-o-tron- 2k".

Is that potato salad on the right?
What potato variety will have the best sonic properties?
When will a cooked vs. raw debate begin?
When will Rick show us his layout? ;D

Are those RoHS compliant? What are the tolerances? And where are the stripes?

If anyone needs NOS potatoes, I think I've got some in my compost bin.

^^^^  ;D

I guess, for a precision device, one would want to source all the potatoes from the same batch to ensure that they are all as closely mashed as possible.

Going by convention, that's not music.

However, when our chemically-rich, vegetable over-lords rise up and take over, I'd like it to be known I thought it was 'OK'.

My Wife just asked, "What's that noise?", and it took me three attempts to say, "It's a Potato", without laughing.

You'd think that someone called Earthtone would know that potatoes are inherently surface mount components 8)
