Welcome to the Marvelous World of
The Misadventures of Pot
Join in the Misadventures
Did you know the Tower of Pisa leans because of the efforts of a tired tuber? Pisano was less than thrilled at first, but with time, it grew on him. As Pot said "Hey, it's a feature, not a bug!" What if I told you that this same potato is partly responsible for Alexander Hamilton's fate? The hairpin trigger was set a smidgen too sensitive for Hamilton’s famous duel with Aaron Burr. This certainly wasn't intentional as Pot lost one of his best friends that day. But that's where the "misadventure" part comes in.
If this all sounds unbelievable, I understand. Many are skeptical because it differs from the narratives they've heard. Details buried and almost lost to the sands of time. But not anymore...
That's the purpose of The Misadventures of Pot site and the reason for its existence. Pot is shedding light on the events told through his point of view. Recollections on some of the most important events in history and how it actually went down. Within these pages, your main starch spills all the tea.
So, pull up a chair and gather around to hear about all the shenanigans he and his gang have been up to. Join Pot as he reminisces on some of his most famous adventures, and more importantly, misadventures. You'll get a bird's eye view into a new world as Pot weaves his fascinating stories. Stories that date back centuries.
But buckle up; it's a wild ride!
Who is Pot?
Pot is our leading potato. This russet, or Rustarian to be exact, is chaos personified. Trouble seems to follow him around. Sometimes it seems like Pot is a calamity caster. He never intends for everything to go sideways, but he doesn't let a few missteps get him down. He takes it on the chin and always finds a way to fix the situation. Although that fix sometimes means leaving town. We could go on longer, but we would end up with a thesis paper. It's difficult to summarize such a unique tuber. That isn't stopping us, though! Here are a few core bullet points about the spudling.
- Pot is immortal, having stories from his time with the Neanderthals to present day.
- He's not the only immortal potato. He’s accompanied by a band of potatoes similar to him.
- Despite his harbinger nature and penchant for being bearer of bad omens, he finds himself in a leadership position often, with many of his fellow immortal potatoes following his lead.
- Pot’s core group is known as The Seven-Spud Army. Despite the numbers having outgrown that name, it has stuck. They're rather sentimental for potatoes.
- His guilty pleasure is an insatiable appetite for french fries. No one is quite sure why. A profound sense of guilt and regret fills him after consuming any.
