  In my professional opinion as a Botanist, you just need a better looking tuber.  Google up some botanical and culinary illustrations of the many wild and weard species with fat underground stems.  You're sure to find one that suits your self-image.
  The hundreds of strange-looking potato varietes grown in the Andes might be a good starting point.

  Be careful to steer away from the look-alikes that arn't real stem tissues: No turnips or carrots (root), or onions (leaves).

  If I remember correctly, the -ski ending is primarily Polish, so the 'tater is a fitting choice (at least for the last three hundred years).  Plus, belonging to the famed Polish Underground would be a great honor ;)

Hah.

Vid, did you admit to being a PhD?  Draz is in a doctoral program, and I was threatening him the other day about adding "Dr." to all the members with doctorates' -my sister and a few others, if only I can recall who- display names...

  No, I did not...but will claim some Mastery therein.   Plus both Polish and Scot-Irish ancestory, giving me a genetic advantage in discussing the Noble Spud. 

  I'll leave it to you whether or not that earns me a title.  (And NO, I will not change my avatar to Mr. Potatohead)

I noticed, back to the topic of stupid annoyances, that the selection in the drop down menu for the "information" icon holds a spelling error (the drop down menu spells it "imformation")

The drop down menu for "message icon" while posting a response.

You see in this dome the intermingling of native and earth plants. Outside, they are competitors, struggling over the trace elements required for life. Often, one destroys the other. Here, they are tended with care and kept well nourished. They thrive together, and the native fungus does not unleash its terrible defenses. As you can see, competition is unnecessary when resources are plentiful and population growth is controlled.
