No Soup For Me!

Tragic news - it appears as if the Original Soupman franchise in downtown Pittsburgh has closed. I was downtown today on an errand and was looking forward to some delicious soup, when I found that the door to Original Soupman was locked and there was a sign on the door that said, "Trucking Co. problems have caused a shortage of inventory forcing us to close until we receive a shipment." From past experience, I could tell that the sign was bogus and that the store was permanently closed. By the way, what is the purpose of witholding the truth about a store or restaurant closing? Don't tell us you're closed for renovations or you're waiting for a shipment or some other nonsense. Just tell the truth - that you failed miserably in your feeble attempt to become a successful entrepreneur. In fact, this should be what the sign says on the door: "Closed Forever - Failed Miserably"

Anyway, here is my tribute to the pathetic Pittsburgh Soup Nazi, who has evidently fled to Argentina. Who knows, maybe someone disclosed all of his recipes!

Episode 116 - The Soup Nazi

NEWMAN: Something's happened with the Soup Nazi!
JERRY: Wha - wha - what's the matter?
NEWMAN: Elaine's down there causing all kinds of commotion. Somehow she got a hold of his recipes and she says she's gonna drive him out of business! The Soup Nazi said that now that his recipes are out, he's not gonna make anymore soup! He's moving out of the country, moving to Argentina! No more soup, Jerry! No more soup for any of us!
JERRY: Well, where are you going?
NEWMAN: He's giving away what's left! I gotta go home and get a big pot!
