As somebody who makes his own sushi at home, I totally empathize with having too much imitation crab meat. That stuff lasts forever and every time I go shopping I’ll buy a brick out of habit. Unless maybe it’s some kind of scary euphemism :eek: ---

Am I the only one thinking of “stomping around like a monster on a model railway for imitation crabmeat” as a new career? Only downside is that when every cute girl on the internet is really an aging fat man, what an aging fat man might be IRL doesn’t bear thinking about. ---
