Subject: How does Hasbro follow up the Star-Wars-themed Mr. Potato Heads? What else can they possibly license as a Mr. Potato Head?
Well, when I think toddler toys, I obviously think, 'KISS."
(Another blogger titled his post about these "Spuds in Satan's Service".  Heh.)

Guess I shouldn't be surprised.  Gene Simmons is the biggest money whore in rock history.

Only because {someone famous and litigious} is not rock and roll.

And I have to admit, there is a part of me that wants to put a Gene-Simmons-potato-head on my desk.  Fortunately, I have until March 2009 to talk myself out of it.

Not sure what it says about me that I got both of your lyric references.

Well, even if you didn't know the songs, I would think the idea of twisting KISS lyrics to the current discussion theme would be easy to get.

However, I am only now realizing that this e-mail's tag line should have been the subject line from the start.
