And I notice that adult males don't need as much chicken soup as the rest of society, apparently.

I've never read a "chicken soup" book, but based on that, I now have a fair idea what they're about.

There's a track on a CD that I bought recently called, "Chicken Soup for the Fuck You." I had the album playing while we were gaming the other day, and the track came up with the title displayed on the TV. I was surprised at how funny everyone seemed to find it. I think more people are more sick of that franchise than I realized. :) (I've been mostly insulated from it, I think.)

Thing is, my soul doesn't actually want chicken soup. I wounder would there be a market for Sushi for the Soul ?

I'd put in an order for, "Vegetarian French Onion Soup for the Disgruntled IT Manager's Soul." :)

As a contracts manager for a publishing company, I often wind up discussing what we mean by "commercial and merchandising rights," a standard publishing phrase. I used to call them the "dishtowel" rights, but since I saw the above product in a pet store, I call them the "cat food" rights, which generally gets a laugh.

Well, "Dog food" actually, but yeah, it's funny.

I hate it when people ask me what I feed the boys because it's such a damned long name, but short of a home-cooked or raw diet, I'd say it's just fine.

Hey, there's no Mock Chicken Soup for the Vegetarian Soul.

Ugh, yes. I work in a used book store, and we have a stack of these UP TO THE CEILING.
