Surimi, fakeish seafood based on blending actual crab or lobster with whitefish and starch. A reasonable substitute if you are making something like seafood salad or crab rangoon. Or adding to alfredo sauce.
Nice idea but I have trained myself not to sleep in moving vehicles … a good precaution when you do lots of late night driving. Hence the pulling over to nap.
[actually back when I was young and stupid I used to drive to the other work locations instead of fly so I had my own car, and I did more cross country trips where I would drive until I got sleepy then pull over and nap for an hour or so, then drive again. I could solo across country in 5 days without stopping at a hotel, saving my per diem =) ]
Thanks for this, but it isn’t a cold sore it’s on the inside of my lip, where I bit it.
Ouch! 
Oh, dear. That will not cross over well. Do you know anyone who both rides a motorcycle and works with heavy equipment? They’d be able to say with authority that the two are not the same. And even if his experience does change the shape of his learning curve, the curve is still there. Do not discount the curve.
I’d never owned a motorcycle or even a scooter before a couple of months ago when I bought a little 50cc scooter to tool around town with. I was kind of surprised at how heavy that little thing is, I can’t imagine trying to finagle around an 800 pounder. Especially if you put a passenger on with you.
Here’s my mini-rant of the day: apparently my state bar association doesn’t recommend lawyers in my county! What!
Ok, it’s Monday and I have had my quota of “ewwwwwww” for the entire week, if not the month.
I went to complete my payment for my hockey season ticket. In a cheerful mood I got home to discover Chernobyl, the outside cat who really belongs to a lady down the street, had left a gift on the door mat.
A rat. Or rather, pieces of a rat. The little ratty head carefully placed where the head would go if the front third of the rat wasn’t missing - next to the back two thirds of the rat.
It’s still there. Mr SCL can deal with it when he wakes up. I will hurl if I have to touch it.
They even make it illegal for semis to idle? That seems strange.
Hmm, they took my word for it on the Superdrug™ and local mini-market cheapo tests, but the scan showed that any occupant has since vacated the premises.
Ah well, at least I know now! Although I’m wishing for once I hadn’t been prompt and taken the first test, if I’d left it another 4 days I’d have just assumed it was a late weird period, and saved various people a lot of stress 
Yesterday’s horrible event sure didn’t take long to go there. I get so damned tired of that ongoing argument here.
There’s something you can get for canker sores, too - I was looking for something else, but I found this - a cover for canker sore, which seems like it would work (they are awfully irritating - you can’t keep your tongue out of them, everything you eat bothers them, etc.).
I understand that semi trucks have different idling requirements, but the vehicles I see idling are never semi trucks.
Threaten to put a padlock on his fork until he takes an approved Motorcycle Training Course. And then do it.
Note that the link is for a class in Houston so no excuses. Classes every weekend.
Not only that, but the web site says an approved course is mandatory before you can get a motorcycle license. Bill pays attention to that sort of thing, right?
He damn well better!
Too late for an ETA, but if threatening to padlock the fork or front rotor isn’t sufficient, you might ponder aloud the possibility of making the padlock a Prince Albert. :eek:
Maybe all the lawyers in your county are crooked. 
NOooooooOOOOOooooOOOOOOO!
Debby Boone is doing commercials on TV! And they’re playing THAT SONG again.
Make it stop! Please make it stop! Makeitstopmakeitstopmakeitstopmakeitstop.
<sobs helplessly>
I got so fucking. sick. of. that. song. It was all anyone ever wanted to sing in middle school chorus (until it was Evergreen). Makeitstopmakeitstopmakeittop.
<goes off to play Roland, the Headless Thompson Gunner as an antidote>
If you run out of things to clean you can always come over here and help me out. I don’t want your kittehs to freak out! And I have chocolate… 
Not really a rant, just the goofiness of my boyfriend. He got to work this morning only to discover that he had forgotten that he’s working 2nd shift this week. So he goes back home for a while. Then when he gets to work at the proper time he realizes he forgot his lunch. I just got back from delivering a sandwich to him, he’s the only one in his department during 2nd shift and he can’t leave the phone bank.
At least you don’t have to worry about Warren Zevon shilling for “Ronco’s Songwriting Gold of the 80s”.
I’ve seen John Sebastian (Lovin’ Spoonful), Beckley and Bunnell (America), Neal Sedaka, Mickey Gilley, and even Smokey Robinson hawking those “20 CD, Cassette or 8-Track” sets of oldies. Always teamed up with someone half their age (and intelligence).
And the ads go on and on, filling a whole half hour on one topic. WHY? Is there ANYone who says “Naaah… don’t need to hear ‘American Pie’ again” who then does a 180 and decides to call the 800 number after the 29th minute of hearing snippets of Don McLean (and Jim Croce, and Leo Sayer…and Debby Boone)?
<wince> OK, I’ll cop to it. I’ve bought a couple of those collections (Razor & Tie: Totally 80s and Awesome 80s). What can I say, I enjoy (almost all) the songs they listed and didn’t have the cash or inclination to purchase all the albums those songs were released on.
Thankfully, Debby Boooooooone was never on the infomercials I saw, nor is her music. <shudder>
Does anyone remember when daddy Pat tried to do heavy metal and started wandering around in a leather jacket with chains? There was a sight needing brain bleach!
