Woah, it's Darth Tater!

Glaurung · 01-19-2005, 04:30 PM

I saw this today on fark.com, which reminded me of this forum. Just droping by to say hi, and wondering if anyone has heard from Darth Tater in the last 3 years

Haven't heard from Tater in a long time. You might ask Tristan and Ben.

The days of Tater were something, were'nt they?

***Tessar*** · 01-19-2005, 04:37 PM

I saw a post by Tater on another board a few months ago, so I believe he's still alive at the least

How do you know it was our Tater?

***Tessar*** · 01-19-2005, 04:44 PM

Because it was on Enchanting Camelot, where I know he posted.

***Khamûl*** · 01-20-2005, 04:43 PM

Dang it, you beat me to it.

I think Tater is the only Mooter to have a thread dedicated to him long after he stopped posting here.

Too bad he doesn't post here, look at all the newbs he have a go at! *points to self*

jerseydevil · 01-21-2005, 11:52 AM

Does anyone know if Tater works for the makers of Mr Potato Head now? He was in art school - it is possible we went on to desgin toys.

***HOBBIT*** · 01-21-2005, 09:45 PM

I wonder if they got the idea from our own Darth Tater?

Here is the story - http://www.starwars.com/collecting/n...s20050113.html

jerseydevil · 01-21-2005, 09:51 PM

You're a bit late hobbit - there is already a thread on this... Tater

***HOBBIT*** · 01-21-2005, 09:58 PM

OK yeah, didn't see that topic - so I just merged mine with the first one

The pic I supplied is a little better than what has been posted.

I haven't spoken to Tater in a good 1 1/2 year or so. Ben and I has his new SN but he hasn't been on AIM in several months. We could still contact him though... if we needed to.

Heck, I spoke to Anduin more recently.

Who knows what Tater is doing now? Oh well.

Just seeing this "Darth Tater" makes you remember him.

Yeah - sort of scary - he has his own frigging toy now.

ItalianLegolas · 01-22-2005, 01:14 PM

well, if they start making Star Wars Mr. Potato Heads, I don't see a reason why LoTR ones won't be right behind! i don't know if thats a good thing though....

***Tessar*** · 01-22-2005, 10:00 PM

I'm going to DIE laughing if they make a legolas Mr. Potatohead...

Then buy it and send one to every fan girl I know! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Beruthiel's cat · 01-22-2005, 10:29 PM

Do you suppose Obi Wan Perroggi is next????

***Fat middle*** · 01-23-2005, 03:51 PM

I thought this toy already existed. Where did it came from Tater's avatar if not?

Embladyne · 01-23-2005, 03:55 PM

Oh, I would love to see the fangirls drooling over a Legolas Mr. Potato Head...
For that matter, I would also get much satisfaction from other characters being made into potatoheads as well....how bout Gollum? He'd be a rotten potato..

HIs avatar looks like it's from Space Balls - not Mr Potato Head toy. But it's too small to tell really.

I know that Darth Tater played Darth Tater in his school play and that's why he chose the name.

Do you mean Space Balls, the movie? Cannot remember any Darth Tater there, although I saw it a long time ago and dubbed to Spanish...

Anyway, Ben should know, because it was him who found the avatar for Tater.

***HOBBIT*** · 01-23-2005, 07:03 PM

his avatar isn't of a potato. more like a silly darth vader.
