5 Star is the Greatest

This is for you if you love potato chips like Linda does.

I also love potato chips and often snack on them.

Here are a couple of videos that are interesting. The first contains a little humor and the second is educational.

The first one involves a lady who collects potato chips that have unsual shapes. They might be shaped like animals, birds or various objects. She gets a big scare when she is on the Tonight Show and thinks part of her potato chip collection is being eaten.

The second shows the process of making potato chips.

Deb (maxie104), as I said, I love hamburgers and I like huge hamburgers. Maybe not those that weigh up to 50 pounds, but still I like gigantic hamburgers.

I also like pizza and I prefer the giant pizza. Since pizza is your favorite, you might be interested in a gigantic pizza. How does a 45 inches by 50 inches pizza sound?

Here is a video showing it being made.

Purplebear, I am not an expert on baking potatoes. I have never baked them either of the ways shown below and I don't know anyone who has. But I guess there are a bunch of ways of baking potatoes.

I use a microwave for baking potatoes, just as so many other people do. What I'm talking about is all the various other things these two ladies do and each one does it differently.

Purplebear, I assume you probably have your own special way of baking potatoes.

Below are a couple of videos showing two different ways to bake potatoes.

Comedy Saturday

This thread is to help all of us escape the regular routine. Comedy is one of the best ways to escape.

Since this is Saturday and there aren't as many members around as during the week, I'm trying to do a topic that would be very easy. Just add funny videos for others to enjoy.

I'll start it with a couple and possibly add more later. I thought of both of these because of all the food videos yesterday.

The first is David Letterman working at a McDonald's and the second is a perfect example on how not to prepare a grilled cheese sandwich.

How about you? Can you add some funny videos?

Animals can often provide a good laugh. Here is a little comedy provided by a few cats.

Oh those cat videos were HYsterICal! I really needed a laugh.
But darn you Larry, you made me want to go out and get a new kitten.
They are SO adorable and funny when they are little.

Dogs can be a little humorous at times. Here are three dog videos that should make you laugh, or at least smile.

Here is a little more humor courtesy of the animal kingdom.
