Less than twenty dollars each, I say. To eat a monster, I say. No, say my friends. They think it will be gross and a waste of money. They don’t even want to go look at the monster in the tank. A monster, I scream at them. But apparently I keep the sort of friends who think fried rice is enough. The fried rice comes then and everything else and it all is so much bullshit.
