Ping:*moved by all the festivitas* 
This Soup will mark the beginning of this.
*chops strange vegetables and odd roots, puts them in the cauldron. Grounds spices from faraway lands, puts those in the cauldron.
Tastes three different oils, picks the lightest one, put it in the cauldron.
Stirs.
Boils.
Stirs once more.
Adds a few raisin*
This is the Dragon Soup of Celbration. Taste. Please.

*tries the soup*
It is a masterpiece. How ~do~ you do it, Ping?
Not a raisin fan, Dragonfly, or are you saving the best for last?

I don't like raisins... I am a raisin purest. They should be by themselves...

*One week later, Ping is found by his cauldron, mixing otherworldly meatstuffs with red cabbage, (artificial) grounded tiger-testicles, a sprinkle of belladonna (not too much, we wouldn't want dead customer, would we?) and fried slices of apple*
Ping: *slurp* 
Not good. Try again.
*Ping is seen spilling the Soup into Bag of Ever-Disposing, a gift from Master Pings Master, and then returning to the cauldron, one hand on chin*

*Sees Ping is in need of inspiration.*
Ping, it's Thanksgiving Day in the US. Perhaps you can whip up something for the occasion. Pumpkin soup, maybe?
*Silently grateful the artificial tiger testicles went out with the trash.*

JAR (happy to be back, but where's Ping?) Posted Nov 23, 2000
Ping: *discovers hidden inspiration in Witty Monikers words, wips up one pumpkin, one oddly shaped spoon and more than enough Soup-plugins (not currently available with IE or Netscape) to make Pumkin-Soup*
*Not long after, a sweatly aroma fills the 24-seven*
Ping: Come. Taste. This is good American Pumpkin Soup.

American soup!?? ::Starts laughing as she thinks about Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Art::
::runs to be first in line::
I've gotta call my friend SkyLion on the cellphone, so that he heats up his oven... I need to visit him and make some Humble Pie... But I'll CERTAINLY join everyone for a bowl of this soup!!!
Smells fantastic...

*puts out bowls, spoons and some nice crusty bread*
This smells wonderful. *tastes a spoonful* Oh! It's fabulous! 
Thanks, Ping!

Speaking of Christmuse/mas, I better decorate this place a bit. It's been awfully quiet around here lately. We need some holiday cheer.
*Liberally sprinkles lots of 
around the store. Puts a 
in the front window. Places animated 
, 
and 
in the other window.*
*Dials up the Christmas carol channel on the Muzak machine and coaxes the Slerpee machine to produce eggnog slerpeez.*

Eggnog slerpees!?? EWww...

JAR (happy to be back, but where's Ping?) Posted Dec 8, 2000
*Ping sneaks over to the sleerpee, orders quickly an eggnug, finishes it in one quick gulp and returns hastily to his cauldron, in which he sprinkles something looking suspicously like fairydust*

Witty Moniker Posted Dec 11, 2000
*Notices Ping sprinkling something in the cauldron. *
How do you like the Slerpee, Ping? You drank it kinda quickly. I hope you don't get brain freeze. Dragonfly can tell you how nasty that is.

Oh dear!!! I would never wish brain freeze on even my worst enemy!!!

Ping: Brain freeze? I no understand. Brain bathe in hot Spirit of Soup not cold... You should try meditation.
*tastes his long brewed Soup*
Yes. This is your Christman Soup. Take this to dinner, it will do good job at party. 
*Pings first Smiley!*
