Renegade Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 So, Instabam. Apparently, he has instant potato powers, yes? And, seeing as he tried to kill some of the Reckoners, it's likely that these potatoes had... perhaps, explosive capabilities. I did some research, and came up with what I think is an accurate representation of Instabam's Epic power. Don't believe me? Personally, I think it's no coincidence that David alludes to "a potato in a minefield" in one of his later similes... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly could have, so why didn't he? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckeedee123 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Wish we knew more about Instabam... Like, can he telekinetically control instant potatoes? Can he make instant potatoes explode? Can he summon a massive wave of instant potatoes? So vague... I bet his weakness was eating real mashed potatoes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese United Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 If his weakness was mashed potatoes, what sort of experience would cause that to be his most feared thing? "No! I don"'t want the potatoes! YOU'RE GONNNA EAT THESE POTATERS IF IT BE TAKEN LAS THING YALL EVER DO! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When I was a boy, back in New York City, my mother always told me that if I ate a potato, I would be a potato. So in my household, it was all instant potatoes, all the time. Seriously, we, like, never ate anything else. Just instant potatoes. Then one fateful day, one of the neighborhood vandals threw a real potato at my head! It hit me like—BAM! And let me tell you, I was so scared I would turn into a potato that I went into the pantry and I ate every box of instant potatoes I could see." 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Instabam can create a minefield made out of potatoes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgedancer Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 ....and this wasn't Regalia's master plan because....? Because a minefield made out of potatoes is awesome and letting someone die through it wouldn´t be evil enough for her. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifth of Daybreak Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think we can figure out exactly what happened at Prof's school. Instabam was there, but didn't know he was an epic yet. That's when some unfortunate wretch started a food fight... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Star Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 You guys are wrong. You see, Instabam's potatoes explode in a NUCLEAR FUSION REACTION. That's the key. Fallout's Instamash potatoes aren't a coincidence... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallout's Instamash potatoes aren't a coincidence... And I just finished reading a webcomic where someone says "Potatoes can't do ANYTHING." How very wrong he was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 That comic character hasn't tried using those things as batteries. And probably never met an Epic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Speaking as seriously as I can about this particular topic, I imagine it would be moderately devastating to suddenly have your entire trachea filled with mashed potatoes. To put it another way, Instabam is not small potatoes. Ooo, see what I did there? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vineyarddawg Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Potato batteries can indeed be used for many purposes. Keeping a psychopathic artificial intelligence alive but partially disabled, for one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Remember before when I was talking about smelly garbage standing around being useless? That was a metaphor. I was actually talking about you, Steelslayer. And I'm sorry. You didn't react at the time, so I was worried it sailed right over your head. Which would have made this apology seem insane. That's why I had to call you garbage a second time just now." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, look, we've both said a lot of things that you're going to regret, but I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster."
