Personally, I think sloppy joes would be vastly improved if they dropped the pretense of being a sandwich. Just serve the meat on the plate with a huge-ass roll next to it and be done with it; less effort on everyone's part.
On an unrelated note, if you ever have the opportunity to say the phrase "sloppy joe blob", for God's sake do it carefully.
Evidently I am a valedictorian. Seat on the front rows, gonna get told to stand up and have some old guy say "Hey dudes look at these smart-ass motherfuckers they're awesome."
