They did a Fear Factor this past season where couples checked into the _ates Hotel. It was really scary and horrible. Probably the worst Fear Factor I have ever seen. It was a three parter, so they were there for a long time.
Oh yeah, I will go with the CraB.

Happy Friday, you FoCers! Well, I managed to get up early and take the VW in for service after all. The snow was off the streets, so it wasn't a problem. Now the car is ship-shape and ready to be sold! (I really don't need two cars anymore.)

So, here I sit with a box of Kleenex to catch my sneezes and nose drips (damn cold!) and update you FoCers on yesterday's question:

Did bad things happen at the Gates Motel in 'Psycho'?

There's just no foolin' you FoCers. Everyone said CRAP and everyone is right! While I'm amazed that there are people who have never seen the movie, obviously it's become such a part of the culture that everyone knew this was a ruse. :-)

Just for kicks, here's what the Calendar Creepy folks had to say:

It's CRAP! It's the Bates Motel where Janet Leigh meets an untimely demise in Alfred Hitchcock's famed 1960 thriller. The motel bears the family name of main character Norman Bates (played by Anthony Perkins), a young man with an extremely unhealthy relationship with his mother."

Okay, <AH-CHOO!> Excuse me! :-) Here's a new one for you.

Ancient Incas developed 240 varieties of potato.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

((Janet Leigh said after starring in that movie she never took another shower the rest of her life.))

her friends said she stank....

and about potatoes, how come corn has ears and potatoes have eyes, and lettuce has a heart. look at mr. potato head. he was developed. he had ears and eyes--and most likely a heart--and he had arms and legs and clothes. i'll bet he had over 240 accessories, too!

Potato Quotes:

"What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow."
A. A. Milne (1882-1956), popular children's author


"My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with."
Oprah Winfrey, television personality


If beef's the king of meat, potato's the queen of the garden world.
Irish Saying


"Only two things in this world are too serious to be jested on, potatoes and matrimony."
Irish saying


"None for me. I appreciate the potato only as a protection against famine; except for that, I know of nothing more eminently tasteless."
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), French politician and wroter on gastronomy


"For me, a plain baked potato is the most delicious one....It is soothing and enough."
M. F. K Fisher (Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher) 1908-1992), American food critic and writer


"A diet that consists predominantly of rice leads to the use of opium, just as a diet that consists predominantly of potatoes leads to the use of liquor."
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher


"Nor do I say it is filthy to eat potatoes. I do not ridicule the using of them as a sauce. What I laugh at is, the idea of the use of them being a saving; of their going further than bread; of the cultivating of them in lieu of wheat adding to the human sustenance of a country....As food for cattle, sheep or hogs, this is the worst of all the green and root crops; but of this I have said enough before; and therefore, I now dismiss the Potato with the hope, that I shall never again have to write the word, or see the thing."
William Cobbett (1763-1835), British journalist and reformer


"Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes."
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), American novelist


"Found a little patched-up inn in the village of Bulson. Proprietor had nothing but potatoes; but what a feast he laid before me. Served them in five different courses-potato soup, potato fricassee, potatoes creamed, potato salad and finished with potato pie. It may be because I had not eaten for 36 hours, but that meal seems about the best I ever had."
General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964)


"You left us in tatters without shoes or socks, tired of digging potatoes, and spudding up docks; and now you've gay bracelets and bright feathers three! 'Yes: that how we dress when we're runied,' said she."
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), British poet


"Potatoes served at breakfast, At dinner served again; Potatoes served at supper, Forever and Amen!"
Pennsylvania prayer



Potato Myths:

Laying a potato peel at the door of a girl on May Day shower her that you disliked her.

If a woman is expecting a baby, she should not eat potatoes because the baby will b born with a big head.

A potato in your pocket will cure rheumatism and eczema.

If you have a wart, rub it with a cut potato, then bury the potato in the ground. As the potato rots in the ground, your ward will disappear.



Potato Jokes:

An old man living alone in South Armagh, whose only son was in Long Kesh Prison, didn't have anyone to dig his garden for his potatoes. So he wrote to his son about his predicament.

The son sent the reply, "For HEAVENS SAKE, don't dig the garden up, that's where I buried the guns!!!!!" At 3 AM the next morning, a dozen British soldiers turned up and dug the garden for 3 hours, but didn't find any guns.

Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what had happened, asking him what he should do now?

The son sent the reply: "NOW plant the potatoes!"
