Well **Dave** , thanks for sharing that with me. Iā€™m not so sure about the safe for work part you mentioned . THIS ISNā€™T SAFE FOR ANYWHERE! Wot in a great hairy Zues is that joker up to? I wouldnā€™t allow my houseplants to visit that weirdo, let alone anything that draws breath! Normally I might suggest a pet. BUT NO FREAKING WAY! Heā€™d have train track running up the catā€™s ass. NO NO NO ! **Dave** , you brought this plague upon us and Iā€™m holding YOU personally responsible for mopping it up! DIAL 911 before this sucker gets to roaming our streets! **Dave** , you should be drawn and quartered for your part in this fiasco. Weird Indeed! ---

Iā€™m not threadshitting (I hope) . . . I really wish people would post minimal context for things instead of just links. Personal ads requesting people to JO is not really S for my W. But itā€™s hard for me to judge if something is SFW or not if I donā€™t have the first idea what the link is. Iā€™m not asking for a lot; if Iā€™d known it was a personal ad instead of, say, a CNN link or an article, I would have known to check it from home. ---

I guess Iā€™m going to be the voice of dissent here and say that if I were in philly, Iā€™d take him up on it. When else are you ever going to get to go jerk off on model trains? ā€œWhatā€™d you do last night?ā€ ā€œAte spaghetti, watched TV. You?ā€ ā€œWent and came on some guyā€™s model trainsā€ Although I donā€™t know if I misunderstood the ā€œtheyā€™re my sonsā€ part, thereā€™s no apostrophe which made me think that he is so attached to these trains, theyā€™re like his sons, until the tapioca pudding and crabmeat joke. In which case it wouldnā€™t be OK to spooge on a kidā€™s train, but ---

How does one stop on trains like a monster without breaking them? [QUOTE=Jodi] Iā€™m not threadshitting (I hope) . . .

[/QUOTE] If you mouse over the link, you can see where it goes to in the lower left corner. Both links so far have craigslist or somethingawful as part of said description. ---

_ **Aaaaaawwwww!** _ I think itā€™s kind of sweet, actually ā€“ ā€œOooh! Oooh! Letā€™s play with my trains anā€™ jack off together, anā€™ then we can pretend like weā€™re King Kong anā€™ Godzilla anā€™ stuff, anā€™ bust everything up! Anā€™ Iā€™ve got lots of yummy crabmeat at my house, too, anā€™ you can have some! Itā€™s good, really!ā€ Really, the guyā€™s scene sounds about as harmless as it could possibly get, and it truly is sort of cute (albeit admittedly in a bizarre way) how heā€™s gone about putting it forth. That being said, though, I canā€™t imagine how somebody could possibly get off sexually on something like that either. ---

I am truly stunned. I had no idea you could freeze imitation crabmeat. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wildly-divergent-lifestyles/448377.md?page=1)
