We have three people's perspectives on couch potatoes.
First, we have my cousin Wendy (codename Margarita), and my other interviewees are Patti (codename Blank) and Ming (codename Velvet).
1) What is a couch potato?
Margarita: A couch potato is a person who always sits on the couch, I mean sofa and watches TV. And eats chips, and ice cream. And drinks coke.
Velvet: It's a sofa potato.
Blank: I'm not really sure if it's a person or really a potato. It should be left up to each person's imagination . . . but, it's probably a healthy brown potato!
2) Are you a couch potato?
Margarita: No. Cause I like internet better.
Velvet: No, I'm a chair potato. Also you can say I'm a feet potato. I hope I am a couch potato watch TV all day l0ng. I want to be a couch potato.
Blank: Not at all! Why not? Well, I think I am not one . . . do you know what I mean? Do you think I am a C.P.? I am a person who thrives on being out and about, so if a CP is a person, remember, I don't know if a CP is one or not, than I'm not one because I hate watching most of the junk that is on TV. Plus, I rarely get to sit on a couch that fits me!
3) Do you think the name 'couch potato' is rude?
Margarita: Not really, it's cute!
Velvet: Yeah, I feel it's rude. I feel some people, need help, can't get up so they are couch potatoes. That's not nice.
Blank: Not at all!!! It can be an endearing term! It's a funny term because when you REALLY think about what a "Couch Potato" is, the first question that comes to mind is, "Yeah! What is it???" I know what Couch Potatoes do or don't do, but how does one look?
4) Do you like potatoes?
Margarita: Yah! Why? Well, they taste good. It's very soothing when you eat potato, cause it's like smooth, and soft. And it makes you think of alot of things, well, that make you happy.
Velvet: Yes, my favorite. Just like this taste, I like this feeling, smushy. Even I know will gain weight eat too much.
Blank: Potatoes are such a great . . . is it a vegetable? Yeah, it is. But, anyway, it's such a great thing because you can do many things with it. I mean you can make many great dishes with potatoes that are SO different: french fries that are crisp; then you can whip up some soft and creamy mashed potatoes (with delicious brown gravy, of course!); or cut the potatoes really thin and long for a salad, you know, Chinese style; or you can make a potatoe casserole with layers and layers of, again, thinly cut potatoes, or you can make a potato soup! Oh yeah, and my sister in Hawaii makes a killer potato salad.
5) Do you like couches?
Margarita: Uh-huh. I like couches. Well, I like these type of chairs better. Well, how do you say the word? This type of chair that can move. How do you say it?
Velvet: No, it make me lower back pain. I will get lower back pain when I sit. I like chair better. Sometimes I want freedom my daughter want me sleep on couch because she is afraid of this snoring and next day I have back pain.
Blank: Do you like couches? Depends. Usually, the average couch is too big for me to sit in, so I can never get set and comfortable .
6) Do you know anyone who is a couch potato?
Margarita: Jimmy. My dad. Cause, cause, cause the only way he spends his time is on the couch with the remote control on his big belly and, several bags of snacks on his big belly tummy. It is his favorite way, to like, like spend his time. It's his hobby.
Velvet: Yes, Ken (Velvet's husband). Because he like watch NBA with his couch. With his sunflower seeds.
Blank: Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, again, if CP's are people, I know many! I can't name them on a blog . . . but, the stereotype of a CP is that it's a man who slobs around the house in front of a TV watching and watching junk, like football. To me a CP can just be the funniest, most oddly shaped dark brown, actually, they are called "Russet" potatoes, potato that you plop on a couch!! And, someone may or may not sit on it!
Want my impu on Couch Potatoes? Yes, of course you do! If couch potatoes are actually potatoes on couches, then yes. If they are people, then no. Don't ask why.
Did you like that? Did you? Tell me! Leave a comment.
