The Daily O'Collegian

Tales of the Taters

Spudster

Spudster played a thick-skinned hero who’s tough and crispy, but every tot from Beijing to Idaho knew he was only a sweet potato. Construction was simply an excuse for him to wear a hardhat to cover his marshmallow heart.

Tot Rogers

A feisty stallion and a gung-ho potato met on the horizon for a silver-screen moment. However, poor Tot Rogers misunderstood the meaning of “tack,” now Stanley is on a mission to have him mashed.

Totsy

All the potatoes at the Gunny Sack said Totsy was rather spudly for catching himself a French blonde. Hopefully, no one will ever learn she was a drive-thru order.

Yami

After suffering an unfortunate spicing accident, Yami transformed into a half-rotot, half-yamlien hybrid. Although he seems to function as a normal spud would, he has developed a chronic paranoia. No worries, his light saber is only dangerous to Totness Monsters and Spudquatches.

Yamko

All tottered and bumbled, Yamko found it difficult to fit in, even in his own shoes, until he found a job as an extinguisher at a junkyard. All the mini vans and Pintos opened their engines to the hodgepodge potato who seemed to ignite more fires than he put out.

Ghost Spud

On dreary evenings and stormy mornings, a white apparition tip-toes around Redbud Cemetery. The Ghost Tater of 1882 haunts the grounds until sunset. Despite his glow, he’s afraid of the dark.

the end


This ends the Tales of the Taters, all gathered as one, overlooking the future Spudigans in the potato fields, each leaving a piece of themselves behind to keep their stories alive.
