  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.

Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?
