A Buttery Topping Full of Disaster by Anonymous
Christopher held a storytelling event at a recent Word on the Street Festival in Vancouver, BC. He had planned to use suggestions from the audience to create an elaborate tale about our Staff Villain, but his notes and tape recorder mysteriously disappeared a few days after W.O.T.S. A few days after that, this tale was stuffed through the mail slot at the CTQ office. I thought I'd post it seeing as Christopher's tale never materialized. You be the judge of whether or not it's true. Of course, our Staff Villain denies everything in it. Read it HERE!

Make Our Staff Villain Really Really Mad
This classic game has been a part of CTQ since the very beginning. The object of the game is simple; dress our Staff Villain up in the most ridiculous way you can and laugh at it. Now I know it's usually a mean thing to laugh at other people's misfortune, but our Staff Villain needs a good laughing at. He's just so serious all the time.

Wasting time should be a crime!"
