I have a name. Honest.

Ever get bored at work?

Not us. Nope. Never.

Some people get on Facebook. Some play games. Some people even look at porn. Spoof and Speck prefer to mess with people. We like to call this "social experiments."

We've done a number of experiments in the last few years, with varying degrees of success. Our all time favorite, though, involves Speck and a patron we'll call Ken. Ken is one of those people who wants to know everything about you. He's constantly trying to engage people in long conversations. He tried to do acupressure on an employee once. 



It got to the point that Ken knew the name of pretty much every employee at Tartarus. Everyone but Speck.

We made it into a game. To start out, Spoof called Speck over to "help" Ken with something. "I bet Speck can help you. Hey Speck. What do you think, Speck?" Spoof probably used the name Speck five times in that short conversation. And every time we saw Ken after that.

It took almost three weeks. Three weeks during which Ken said "hey" to or ignored Speck, even resorting to using nicknames on two occasions. 

This is one of our evidences that Speck has the power of invisibility.
