Forgive the rantings of this delirious CS major, but I have a response to
said challenge....

Christmas Day at the Tendo Dojo

a spamfic by baughj@rpi.edu
(response to Ryo Hoshi's xmas challenge)


"Oh my, who is that knocking on the door?" wondered Kasumi (having 
miraculously recovered from her run-in with a truck :P).

"I'll get it," said Ranma.

Ranma opened the door.......and stared.

"Wo ai ni! Shampoo make ramen for airen! Great-grandmother say it 
ancient tradition!"  Shampoo leapt into Ranma's arms and immediately 
began Amazon Glomp #387.

"Ran-chan! How about some holiday okonomiyaki?" said Ukyo, who tossed a 
okonomiyaki with the usual "I Love You" written on it in sauce.

"Aiya!  What spatula girl doing here!"

"SAOTOME!  Even now, on this Christmas day, the forces of good will 
finally lead me to triumph over you!  And by the way, have this 
fruitcake, as it shall be your last meal, knave!"

"Aiya! What stupid bokken boy doing here?!"

"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!  Ranma-sama!  Have these cookies!"

"Aiya! What crazy bitch doing here?!?!"

"RANMA! PREPARE TO DIE!  But first, try this miso soup."

"Aiya! What crazy pig boy doing here?!"

"Sweeto!  Have some of this aphrodis...er...candy cane!!"

"Aiya! What..."

Ukyo turned around and glared at Shampoo.  "WE GET THE POINT!!!"

"Ah haahahaha!  Is...Is K...Kasumi here!! I want to give her these
bananas!! Ahhaha!"

Ranma turned around.  Shampoo had let him go by this time, and looked at 
him imploringly.  Ranma slowly closed the door.  Outside, he could hear 
the sounds of Kodachi laughing, Kuno spouting platitudes, Ryoga getting 
ready to unleash a Shishi Houkodan (It was good soup, after all!)....He 
sighed, and slumped to the ground.  "Why me?" he asked.

"Maybe next year, if you're good enough, your master will get you some 
thong underwear!!"

Ranma started to twitch.  It was going to be a long day.


like i said, forgive my ramblings
