Sir Anthony Wedgewood Hotpocket leant against

Sir Anthony Wedgewood Hotpocket leant against his marble mantel & poked at the fire vigorously. Lady Alphonsa Devere Buckle had just left her calling card which could mean only 1 t
hing. She would have to contact Sir Hotpocket via morse code. BEEP BEEP BEEP..beep..beep..beep.. BEEP BEEP BEEP.. "S.O.S" .
"Help me!" she screamed, "It's horrible! Save My Soup! My soup is burning! Please, please, anyone! Help me save my soup so that I can use it to give to some poor little orphans!"
The audience exploded into applause. Her face went red. "Why are you clapping?" she screamed. "My soup is burning! I need help!" Row by row they stood, their applause
deafening, their smiling faces a grotesque montage of sarcastic humor, their disdain for her burning soup, relentless. She fell to the ground as the audience cried "BRAVO!" Then
somehow she rose again, silent within and without, completely disregarding the mockers, and set the burnt soup aside. She made the soup again, and presented it to
the Soup Nazi. She kept her head down and backed away silently. He glared at the bowl, then dipped a spoon away from him and touched it to his lips. A minute passed. Then another.
The hallucinations came in waves. Volcanoes on the dining tables erupting tiny dinosaurs with the heads of celebrities. Soup patrons faces evolving geometrically. The Soup Nazi
gripped the soup spoon with shaky desperation to keep his trip from going totally dark. The Soup Nazi hung on to a shredded pleasant thought as a mental anchor, it was
impossible for him, being in a drug induced psychosis, to spell his name in German using overcooked Alpha-bits. The poor man drowned in his soup trying to suck out his initials.

49erFaithful - I like the way the Soup Nazi dipped the spoon AWAY from him. Is this to indicate his aberrant psychology?

Thanks Gibber. I can't purport to understand the psychology of the Soup Nazi. But in my mind's eye, when putting spoon to soup, a Soup Nazi would always dip away, never towards.

I dip the spoon away from me when I drink soup.

What about when you prepare a soup sandwich? Do you spread back and forth or up and down. I pray it's not all around like the anarchists do.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend any soup dip-away-ers. I've given it some thought and I believe those that dip towards have an unconscious need to expose the bottom of their spoon to others, while those that dip away have a deep seated fear of exposing the bottom of their spoon to others. Of course this is a gross oversimplification of the complex motivations and ambivalent emotions involved with spoon dipping.

Sometimes when I'm alone I hold the spoon level and lower it in so the soup rushes in from all sides.

The proper way to eat soup: http://www.thekitchn.com/table-manners-the-proper-way-to-eat-soup-178927 Apparently, however, soup-eating rules are culture-bound.

Sometimes my cat only dips the back of her spoon into the soup and licks it from there.
Servant Nov 06 2014 @ 21:34

Sometimes, when I'm alone or with people who don't mind, I will lick my bowl clean.
PurpleProf Nov 06 2014 @ 21:48

Sometimes, when I'm alone with my cat, I'll lick the back of my bowl, but only if my soup doesn't mind.
