I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

This sounds like an early reader mystery. "Shrift and the Case of the Frozen Soup Can"

Isn't it about time we ran away together and embarked on a life of crime?

Cause I could handle a life of crime right about how. Low-key crime, you understand. Having a beer and then driving in DC. Walking a dog at midnight while whistling in Montana. That sort of thing.

It's gone! The soup is gone! I am left with nothing but unanswered questions. Who was that mysterious can freezer?

Emily, we could be the fearsome jaywalkers what jaywalk at noon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

shrift, maybe you should leave a note in the freezer.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I vote that someone had a black eye and didn't have a frozen steak to put on it.

The mere thought makes me cringe. Even a frozen steak is hard on a shiner.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What works, frozen-food-wise? Peas?

Bendy stuff. I'd go with peas, since they're small and don't have corners. You can only use a given package a few times before it becomes mush, though.

It's the office! How many supplies do you expect people to have? Gotta go with what's available.

Maybe it's some secret ninja technique to protect the soup from workplace poachers. Kage soup can no jutsu!
