OK, I'm game to see what the machine will choose for me.
I'd like a slurpee please! 
It's hot over this side of the world.

"Hey, haven't I seen you somewhere before? 
And why don't we take bets on what type of slurpee we'll get? How about...banana?

OH!!! I hope you are right!!! That sounds SOOOO good!!!
I will bet on... Cherry Coke...
I-- I think I have seen you somewhere, too... herrrrmmm... We'll have to discuss it over our Slerpees!!!

If mine isn't banana, I'll bet it's.... vanilla.
I wonder if they're like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans which were (literally) EVERY flavour... including earwax. In which case, the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!
I'm SURE I've seen you somewhere before

Hi there, S,m or b?(or B), and welcome to the 24-7! Do you mind if I call you Buttercup?
*looks at Buttercup's cup*
Hmmm, you got a banana slerpee! You must be psychic! 
This machine does work like Bertie Bott's beans, although we've been pretty lucky so far. No really yucky ones have been dispensed... yet.
What did you get, Dragonfly?

WOW fancy that! 
And yes, most certainly you may call me Buttercup.
SLURRRRRRRRRP!!
YUM!!! 
I wonder what else I could do...
I see.... a chain of franchises in your future, with heaps of money coming in from people all around the world who want to sell your products....

Oh well, to cheer you up, I cordially invite you to the Haiku Challenge!

Yay! I'm glad you did! Don't forget to let me know if you'd like a link from the 'Haiku Challenge' page.
, or
Slurpee
Witty Moniker Posted Jan 5, 2001
Sure, I collect links. I'm no poet, but I'll rise to almost any occasion. Does this request suffice, or should I actually post a request to that page? (I'll post a link from my home page to your Haiku page in return.)
Dragonfly... what kind of Slerpee did you get this time? (Not eggnog, I hope. I remember you consider it 
.)

Any request anywhere is fine just so long as I see it. And a link back would be awfully cool. Thank you. I just tend to ask on other forums because I have this feeling that it gets lost in the actual Haiku Challenge one, which now and then can be quite busy. I DO check the backlog there for requests, but I think sometimes people don't see me making it, so if I think of it, I'll ask them somewhere I think they'll see it.
And I'm no poet either. But that just makes it more fun!

::delicately sips her slerpee::
Well... it's not eggnog...
I can't quite tell just what it is... let me slerp again...
::slerp::
EWWW!!!
I-- I -- I think!!!
EWWW!!!!
It's EARWAX!!!!

Witty Moniker Posted Jan 6, 2001
*Takes earwax flavored beverage from Dragonfly and pours it down the sink. *
Try again, Dragonfly. No extra charge.
When the guys at Crater Labs built this machine, they told me I couldn't control the flavors. So we just live with it.

Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Posted Jan 6, 2001
Bleh...
HEY!!! What if I was kidding, eh!?? You just poured a decent slerpee down the sink... 
... You will have to make up for that with endless slerpees at no charge...
Ok... I am kidding. It was earwax...
::gets another slerpee::

*Witty can't help but wonder how Dragonfly knows what earwax tastes like. *

Very banana-ey thank you! The banana-shaped glass did give its flavour away though! I LIKE banana, YUM!!!
*Puts finger in earwax dribble going down the sink*
Hm, that tastes familiar
