The Dude-San thrill-ogy continues!!!

[yamasaaaki har har]

Once upon a thyme in the Sora Sushi Shokudo restaurant...
* * *

"HEY YOU, DUDE-SAN!! TADACHI NI TASUKE O KUDASAI!!" Chef Sato yelled from across the kitchen.

"Um, English?? Please??" said Dude.

"Oops, sorry" Sato replied, "Me forget you only English speak. Whatta I said was, DUDE-SAN, NEED HELP RIGHT NOW!!"

"What's wrong" asked Dude?

"BIG FIRE IN MIXING BOWL! Need put out 'cause it's its desire to set our restaurant on fire!! You know what I'm talkin' about!"

"Yeah, I know what you're talkin' about," replied Dude, "HEY, ON FIRE!" So he quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed to the scene. Chef Matsuhiko also came running over with a super soaker.

They sprayed and sprayed until the flames finally went out. Dude said, "Whoa, that's a cool super soaker! Where'd you get it?"

"I found it at All Your Toys 'R' Belong to Us just yesterday," Matsuhiko said. "It's called Suupaa Sohkaa . . ."

Suddenly, they heard a loud crash coming from the dining area of the restaurant . . .

[yamasaaaki har har]

The chefs ran out of the kitchen into the dining area to see what made the noise. What they saw was a bit disturbing.

A giant nine-armed purplish octopus was thrashing its arms around, tossing chairs and plates and knocking tables over. Frightened customers ran around, screaming "Yaaaa! Waaaa! Haaaa! Ohhhh!" and "Yadayadayada!" and hiding to elude the flying objects.

"Yup, that's a big ol' octopus," Chef Sato said.

"Yup, that's a big ol' octopus," Dude said.

"Yup, that's a big ol' octopus," Chef Sato said.

"Yup, that's a big ol' octopus," Dude said.

"Yup, that's a. . . ."

"OKAY NOW YOU BOTHS CAN SHUT UP!!!" Chef Matsuhiko shouted. "YOU SUCH BAKA!!!"

"Sorry."

"Sorry."

Then Dude, Matsuhiko, and Sato pulled out their fish nets and rushed to tackle the gargantuan octopus, yelling "HAIII-YAHHH!" in unison. Yoshimura and Takashi tried to calm it down by playing soothing bamboo flute music.

After a long time they managed to subdue the octopus. The following day, the restaurant served tako tacos. (Octopus is tako in Japanese by the way.) The customers loved the tako tacos and kept pouring in every day. Even some giant squids stopped by to ramsack the restaurant in search for delicious tako tacos, but Dude and the chefs made squid Jell-O out of them.

Then one day . . . .

[yamasaaaki har har]

. . . the Sora Sushi Shokudo (aka "Sushi Zone") "got a visit from an unwelcome guest" (or guests, I should say)

A few spammer bots kept coming into the restaurant constantly every day jumping into the salad bar and tossing food onto the ground. So Dude and the chefs made fried Spam sandwiches out of them. The chefs took turns posting guard at the doors, so that every time a spam bot ventured into the restaurant, the chefs would immediately delete them and cook their meat. Fried Spam sandwiches were the new craze at the Sushi Zone and generated a new wave of customers.

But then . . . something else happened....
