Poopycock, my good lad! The soundness of the structures in question notwithstanding, the question is blatantly metaphorical. There is an existential undercurrent that runs through it, and is meant to clash with the emphasis on common, or everyday, imagery. By jumping from house to potato, quite unexpectedly, we are provided with both a new perspective and something of a system shock. We are forced to revisit our entire understanding of potato as we know it.

What does it mean to be potato? Does potato automatically equate to value? Mayonnaise seems to have value, I would think. But here it is rejected by an undefinable force known only to the author. It is not, for whatever reason, potato. And what of the reduced moral judgment of the potato's inhabitant life form. Is the life form really us? If so, what can we read from its fallible and ambiguously delicate state? Perhaps we are all, ultimately, mayonnaise. And if so, are we all destined for rejection?

Or perhaps the potato important because its common. After all, the malt shop was common not so long ago. Now, it is an obscurity...a thing which exists only in minds and tongue-in-cheek mock-ups. Is there no malt shop? Look around you! It's gone! And should we not take a moment to lament the loss of what once was common? The author's decision to avoid this question is an interesting choice. It contains no inherent emotion. One could read indifference into it, I suppose. But one could just as easily see frustration, or even joy. The emotion we bring to the phrase is, perhaps, our very own.

In a way, IS THERE NO MALT SHOP represents the most important question any of us will ever ask.

Poopycock, how you differentiate the pitcher from the catcher.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

Because the world doesn't obey the constraints of theories and models, so we need to look at the consequences of our actions.
I didn't see any consequences of your actions in that post, just a lot of baseless theorising ignoring others' experiences. Which at best makes you (everyone?) a hypocrite.

Which of my actions are you referring to?

Harmless, have you ever been checked for PTSD following the time of the abusive relationship you were in? I only wonder because [benevolent sexism] men usually don't stop and ask for directions. [/benevolent sexism]

I'm not suggesting you have it, just wondering if you went to counseling after or during the relationship.
