I’ve already wasted my extra hour as I just slept through it. That’s how you know for sure I don’t have a cat.
It knows it’s really 8:07
So on this fine first day of non-daylight saving time, I have nothing on offer. The best I can do is showcase a charming little story out of New Zealand. It seems a couple found this huge potato growing in their garden. Since they didn’t plant it they’ve no idea how it got there. Colin explains that their gardening technique consists of “throw(ing) a bunch of cow manure and straw onto their garden and see what happens.” Showcasing their giant potato however has proved more difficult than expected, due to rapidly decaying conditions:
As the couple showed the potato off, it began drying out and losing weight. Mold started growing from its wounds. "He was getting a bit pongy," said Colin, referring to the potato's smell.
So he stuck it in the deep freeze and plans to turn it into vodka, which seems a sound plan.
Still, weighing in at 17 pounds, they believe the potato - which they’ve named “Doug”- is the world’s largest.
To which I say “hold my beer New Zealand…”
Our sniffy spud – who we’ve named Joey - has your pongy potato beat by a country kilometer.
But not every country “elects” one to the highest office in the land. Although honestly, New Zealand does seem to give us a run for our money on that front as well.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern abruptly ended a press conference after being heckled by an anti-vaxxer
Of course our Potato can yell at reporters with the best of them, so I still claim advantage: USA!

Hahaha, Doug needs a Mr PotatoHead makeover, especially the moustache
New Zealand’s potato looks like something that spilled of our POTATUS’s trousers onto his shoe.
After staying up late to watch MME I was grateful for the extra sleep!
If only someone could turn Biden into vodka.
We’re on STANDARD TIME now - not the made up “Daylight Savings Time”. Thus, this is the REAL time.
