Where can you buy a couch potato and are they only seasonal?
Couch potatoes are found in both the developed and developing world. They are in season all year round, but I'm afraid they are not edible, and can't be found stocked on any supermarket shelves.
Home growing instructions
However if you want to try to grow one yourself it is fairly simple. Find an armchair, which is a good base to grow them in. Next find a relatively docile, lazy person, and plant the person firmly in the chair. Good fertilizer includes a few beers , pizza and a TV remote. Remember to prune away the empty cans and boxes. Repeat the last two processes over and over, and in no time you will see that you have your very own couch potato! (They may be difficult to harvest, or put to any use.)
Please note.
Approach with caution, couch potatoes can become temperamental in their vegetative state, and very stubborn when trying to up root them, particularly when it's baseball season, football season, and the basketball playoffs.
Although dangling the TV remote control on a piece of string, has been know to get some response.
Addendum on Harvesting.
The seasonal Variety is the preferred choice. These tend to be able to harvest themselves, during their later stages they can become almost vocal, and have the ability to uproot themselves, however as stated before care should be taken when approaching. In the final cycle of the season the Couch Potato will either bloom or wilt. If it starts to wilt it is best left alone to rot till the next season, it has the same abilities as the blooming version, I.E. the ability to move, throw its fertiliser around, but the sounds emitted are low and dense. If however it goes into full bloom it will leap from its spot throwing fertilizer all round the room and can be heard to emit a high pitched keening sound similar to YEEEEEESSS!!, at this point it best to harvest straight away and ask for diamond rings, mink coats washing machines etc etc. This variety is the most desired and if cultivated correctly can give a weeks of joy. But eventually you will have to replant.
Have fun with your choice.

Were to put a performance chip in a Nissan 240sx?
any performance chip will have to be soldered onto the ECU, the car's computer. this is located under the passenger side of the dashboard where the passenger's feet are located, on the right side. take off the paneling, and on some models it is under the carpet or even under the radio part of the dashboard. either way, wherever it is located, this is not something you can do yourself, especially if you dont even know where it goes. so you will have to have a mechanic do it for you, or even better you can take out the ECU and ship it to a company that will do it for you such as JWT, Jim Wolfe Technologies. look them up online.

If you can avoid it, try to throw them out and just buy new ones. However, if you really need them, check for any molding and make sure they do not smell foul. Potatoes are pretty hardy vegetables and usually last a while (but I'm not so sure about the pre-packaged kind...)

Hi a rotten potato actually sprouts roots. The potato does not contain seeds therefore it need to keep going another way. All the little roots will grow out of the rotten potato and if you bury it then it will grow into a little tree with a new potato!
