The Murky Fringe Interviews Imitation Crab Meat

July 13, 2011

The Murky Fringe: You represent everything that’s wrong with sushi today.

Imitation Crab Meat: And you’re an expert on sushi.

TMF: No, I’m an expert in things that strive to be what they’re not.

ICM: I never said I was crab.

TMF: People assume you are.

ICM: Whose fault is that?

TMF: Well it’s not Trader Joe’s.

ICM: Let me ask you a question: why me? Why not, say, liquid smoke or Pringles?

TMF: Because I don’t like you very much. And Pringles, although a gimmick, never said they were filet mignon.

ICM: People pick on imitation crab meat before they’ve tasted it. In blind test-tastes, we come out even with crab.

TMF: Now you’re deceiving people.

ICM: They’re deceiving themselves. Besides, we’re not exactly breaking anyone’s bank.

TMF: [Rubbing shoulder]

ICM: Is something wrong.

TMF: It’s just these genuine muscles get sore sometimes. You know how it feels…oh wait.
