Sentences that start with the phrase “A guru once told me…” are, more often than not, eye-roll-inducing. But recently, while resting in malasana, or a deep squat, in an East London yoga class, I was struck by the second half of the instructor’s sentence: “A guru once told me that the problem with the West is they don’t squat.”
Soup was the name of the secondary main character in a series written by Robert Newton Peck. The first book shared the name of the deuteragonist. I haven’t read them since I was in 1st or 2nd grade, but they were amusing at the time. Kind of a more modern (this would have been at the tail end of the '80s when I was reading them) Tom Sawyer.
I just didn’t know what to name a follower in a video game and jumped to “Soup” for whatever reason so that’s what we’re working with lol
