  - apples? omg. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 11:38 2
    - He's a professional chef, it was amazing. And it wasn't all apples, that was just a subset of the chunks. The rest were potatoes as expected. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 11:49 1

        Yes! I wanted to take her out for dinner! -- nm - David Oct 23, 11:36
    - More y’alls than vegetables, y’all! -- nm - Jeremy Bearimy Oct 23, 11:07
- really, hating potato salad? oh really? -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:04 17
  - You know what potato salad is made with? - Andie Oct 23, 11:10 16
    - And as my mother-in-law will tell you...not Miracle Whip. Not even Hellman's. She only uses Duke's in her potato salad. Period. End of story. -- nm - The Tuesday Night Delight, Slamtonian Oct 23, 11:29
    - but it doesn't have to be, my mother makes this hot German style potato salad that mayo never goes near -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:12 11
      - this is different (and they only type I would take someplace) -- nm - decline Oct 23, 11:33
      - and this is fine for the Lutheran Church Social and Bazaar. That's it. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 11:16 8

Braun’s turn was coming since last week’s Raw, Ambrose’s has been coming since he came back. -- (edited) - Tim Oct 23, 10:57 4
- I think they should just go ahead and do Crown Jewel. Just rip the band-aid off. Learn some lessons (yeah right) and movie on. They're carnies. -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 10:59 3
  - I’m still of the mindset that having the show is fine, but putting it on the Network and treating it like a big PPV is a terrible idea. -- nm - Tim Oct 23, 11:01 2
    - You can't have Shawn Michaels' first match in over 8 years and not show it on the network. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 11:31

Shaun: heading out now -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 10:56 1
- You guys are seeing Black Panther? Sweet! -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 11:05
I just...can't. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 10:56 13
- I truly have been bothered by this ever since the SNL sketch. If there is a better potato salad out there, lets see it! -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:02 2
  - better than what? Some Barefoot Contessa bs?* - Diva Oct 23, 11:06 1
    - I don't know. Better than what is out there -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 11:07
- Hopefully, you have Mel or someone else to give you neck massages, with as much shaking your damn head you've been doing lately -- nm - prayformojo Oct 23, 11:01 1
  - this is what I'm saying! -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 11:03

  - this is the meanest thing you've ever said to me. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 11:07 2
    - That alone should tell you that I was not being serious. Raisins don't belong anywhere near potato salad. - Beryllium Oct 23, 11:30 1
      - of course I know you're kidding (aren't we all about this?). -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 12:02
