Description from Little Round Chick: It's 9:00pm. Every one has finally left the LB warehouse. Simon and Simone slip into the darkened interior and begin their search for the Mango Potato. Simone, who loves shiny objects, begins to go through the boxes and boxes of sparkling jewels oooing and aaahing over every new find. Simon busily searches for the pouches of pearls hoping to find the one with the Magnificent Mango Potato. As Simone continues to flit among the gems Simon works furiously going through pouch after pouch of pearls. Will he ever find the right pouch? Will Simone ever stop playing around with the precious pretties? Is there conflict brewing between them? Only time will tell.....

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:The question here is, what happens when Simon finds the mango potato? What happens if Simone finds it first? There’s certainly trouble a-brewing here…
Great pick, LRC! Love the continuing saga of Simon and Simone!

Sali Jo GemsChica Chick says:If we hear a loud explotion over LB we’ll know that the two evil pearl snatchers are fighting each other for the coveted mango potato……

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:I’m sure the mango potato is required for some evil scheme by those two! Will they hold it for ransom, bringing us all to our knees??

Kitty Chicky Cat says:lol! Great pick and story!
Yummy beads you’ve chosen here! most of them are on my extremely extensive wish list!
I’m with Mrs. LeFiligree! I’d be drooling over and fingering all the shiny pretties!! lol Can you imagine it? A shopping spree in Lima’s very storeroom?! Ahhhh, what bliss!! ;D
I missed it! What is the significance of, particularly, the magic mango FWP? What dastardly use could this villainous foe of limabeads have for the pretty pearls? Someone should call… da-da-daaaa! Aqua Kitty!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I don’t know, Chicky Cat….did we miss a chapter? Either way, I am loving LRC’s continuing saga of the ups and downs of Simon and Simone’s relationship!!! ROTFLOL What a fun-loving couple they are — so full of action and adventure, never ones to just sit at home and watch TV…..
LRC, this is one fabulous pick to go along with your fabulous saga!!! Keep those chapters coming!

Little Round Chick says:The significance of the Mango Potato, Chickies, is it’s name. I find the combination of mango and potato utterly hilarious. I can visualize a bright yellow orange lumpy potato every time I see the name. So it has become the center of attention for no reason other than its name.
I believe the Mango Potato was originally introduced in an episode of Baby Puffer and Brave Little Mermaid. It took place in the big move to LB’s new quarters or shortly there after.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Oh, I remember now! LOL So glad you’re still awake to jog our memories, LRC! Thanks!!!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Mango Potato – I’ll never look at a mango OR a potato the same way ever again! LOL!
