It’s the Vegetable New Year! After a very successful Year of the Rutabaga and the disastrous 2006 Year of the Spinach Leaf, the United Nations is celebrating in the streets to usher in the Year of the Potato.
If you were born in 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948,1936, 1924, 1912 or 1900, then this is your year, Potato Head!
For those born in these years, you are forthright, disciplined, systematic, meticulous, charismatic, hardworking, industrious, charming, eloquent, sociable and shrewd. Potatos can be manipulative, cruel, dictatorial, rigid, selfish, obstinate, critical, over-ambitious, ruthless, intolerant, scheming and sturdy.
Watch out for Cabbages and Broccoli–they are jealous of your charisma and secretly plot your downfall.
Other Potatos include classical composers Bach and Handel, one-eared artist Van Gogh, keyboard-maiming Dvorak, Walt Disney and Charlie Chaplin.
