Almost clenched it

He’ll notice it if it’s the chocolaty one. We are not dealing with a full deck here.

Did he just sample it?

Causing the sudden burst of a painful S-bomb… not an acceptable prank, IMO. And stop sampling it! :-D

Not a good time to sample your poison.

What was Moondog’s prank last year?

Moondog may need to contact the Gazpacho Police.

If he’s using Ex-Lax, he should probably be making something chocolaty like perhaps brownies or chocolate chip cookies. Anyhow, he’d better quit sampling it or the “joke” is going to backfire.

Gazpacho soup. Arnold Rimmers last words.

My father (a chef) told me, when I was very young, to never play jokes with food. I think it was after devising an April Fool’s prank with my brother’s breakfast.

Pranks are pranks but dosing people with drugs of any kind can get you sued or imprisoned. You never know what kind of allergic reaction someone may have or if you have miscalculated the dosage.

No need for the Ex-Lax. Serving someone cold soup (I don’t care what fancy name you give it) is a big enough prank.

Gent, are you there? Gent? Gent! Maybe you’re busy drawing Doug. . .

Wikipedia: Earliest known metaphorical reference to revenge as food in English is “And then revenge is very good eaten cold, as the vulgar say”, from a 1846 translation of Eugène Sue’s Mathilde: Mémoires d’une Jeune Femme. The passage suggests that it was an existing expression. Similar proverbs are known as early as the 17th century with “Reuenge is not good in cold bloud” in a translation of Don Quixote. Many variations are attested and the exact phrase revenge is a dish best served cold may originate from the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

EB, go hide the toilet paper. :)

Serve it to Marjorie Taylor Greene…

This should Moondog moving.

He will blow it out of his a**.

I read that that was an Alfred Hitchcock prank on someone who’d pranked him. As the story goes, Hitch bet the guy he couldn’t stay in the haunted house (from Psycho I think) overnight tied to a post. He gave him a bottle of whiskey to get him through the night, it was laced with a laxative.

Better not let the Gazpacho Police hear about this!

Monty’s prank special is a Gazpacho Belly Bomb?! I bet it has no effect on Moonie, whose tummy is immune to such puny attacks thanks to long years of abuse-conditioning….
