Amok Soup

Maybe "plomeek" is a Vulcan version of okra, and has its own adhesive properties.

 

On Vulcan it's called T'chayta, the ancient art of soup flinging. It was considered a merciful form of not having to eat bad soup.

 

Hmm, yeah, haha..you've got a point there.

I guess they wouldn't have had the same clean-up issues with the ol' water-balloons-dropped-onto-the-street-from-the-balcony trick by convention-goers.

 

Vulcan cure for toothache: Take a mouthful of plomeek soup and sit on the stove until it boils.

 

The plomeek shall inherit the earth (or the Vulcan).

 

Actually that's a traditional Vulcan insult.

 

Being a professional comedian is probably the worst job to have on Vulcan.

 

^ Probably fairly easy for Vulcans to heckle, though.

 

Actually, if the bowl is closed by a lid you can throw it at a great distance like a discus. and it will even crash against a wall with precision, especially if you have the hand-eye coordination of a vulcan.

 

Likely on the same level as being a wine expert in Lebanon...

 

This thread brings to mind the screenplay by the legendary Crow T. Robot, EARTH VS. SOUP.

 

"You call that a logical conclusion to your premise?!" [throws rotten plomeek]

 

Somebody should ask Nimoy about throwing the soup ;-)

 

The Shat stole his chicken soup and replaced it with borscht. He suspended the chicken soup in a bucket over his bicycle, tied with a rope.

 

There's an annual contest of Vulcan soup throwing... Nimoy wins every time.
