Potato and Rice Hit the Bigtime!

So, the fact of the matter is, Potato and Rice couples are so trendy, that Potato and Rice themselves cannot go anywhere out in public without running into another "us" couple. Potato and Rice couples are everywhere on television, and even children are getting into the act.

But, yet so far, the general public has yet to fully embrace the growing ubiquitousness of Potato and Rice couples. Wait no more America! As of January 31, 2010, Potato and Rice have hit the Bigtime! On the latest episode of the highly popular series _The Simpsons_, "Million Dollar Maybe", a couple is being married in the beginning of the episode. Yes you guessed it, it is a Potato and Rice couple! Potato and Rice muse that if anyone gets a mention on _The Simpsons_ it is surely a sign of permanent pop culture status! Rejoice!

P.S. Perhaps the writers of _The Simpsons_ saw this post?

Potato and Rice Go Holiday Shopping

It is indeed that time of year again. Due to a recent move of dwellings

Potato and Rice have been severely behind on their
Christmas shopping for the year. It was decided that gifts for certain
nieces and nephews had to be made on a Saturday afternoon at a
local Toys 'R' Us. Normally Potato and Rice shun crowds, especially
crowds of poorly behaved adults shoving their way through aisles
knocking over displays and then turning to see if anyone noticed
then walking away. But it being the Christmas season and all
Potato and Rice braved their way to the store. Of course, the
store was crowded. Potato and Rice could not decide which line
was longer, the line for returns (yes, even before Christmas) or
the line for checkout.

Potato and Rice made it over to the games area. There, were
old standbys such as "Ants in the Pants", "Operation", "Chutes and Ladders".
In browsing through this section, deciding on what to purchase
Potato and Rice noticed one game which was flat on the shelf. In righting
the item up, Rice notices the back picture of the game. It indeed had
two children enjoying themselves, playing the game. Ah, but not so fast!
Upon closer inspection, the two children were a young Potato and Rice
couple themselves. Of course Potato and Rice do not believe the
children were actually an "item", but mere "good friends" enjoying
the fun of playing a game together.

Potato and Rice couples are not only trendy adult couples, but now
socially acceptable child pairings as well. Potato and Rice mused that
it perhaps is the only "diverse" male/female pairing of children they
would ever see on a game box.
