   	THE TATERNATOR: Cyborg spud returns from the future to present-day   
   McDonald's restaurant to kill the potatoess (girl 'tater) who will give birth   
   to the world's largest french fry (The Dark Powers of Burger King are clearly   
   behind this).  Most quotable line: "Ah'll be baked..."   
   	A FISTFUL OF FRIES: Western in which our hero, The Spud with No Name,   
   rides into a town that's deprived of carbohydrates thanks to the evil takeover   
   of the low-cal Scallopinni Brothers.  Plenty of smokeouts, fry-em-ups, and   
   general butter-melting by all.   
   	FOR A FEW FRIES MORE: Takes up where AFOF left off!  Cameo by Walter   
   Cronkite, as every man's common 'tater!
