This is a pretty simple game, but it should be fun. The first poster posts a complaint about something being in their soup; the next poster responds with an reason for the item in the soup, and posts a new complaint.
Example:
Poster 1: Waiter, there's a lego in my soup!
Poster 2: Well, yes - you ordered a "Build-A-Soup".
Waiter, there's a diamond ring in my soup!
Poster 3: Congratulations! Did you say yes?
Waiter, there's a boot in my soup!
Rules:
1. Be creative, but not gross.
2. Keep the response to a couple of sentences or less - don't write overly long, detailed answers or paragraphs.
To start:
Waiter, there's a boot in my soup!
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
