Nothing better than a mask

In the time that we've worked at Tartarus, we've been in an ongoing feud with the Hutt. One of our main issues of contention is costumes. Your friends Spoof and Speck love wearing costumes. We find every excuse we can to wear a costume at work. 

Happy Easter, from Spoof and Speck

The Hutt, on the other hand, has a general disdain for costuming. Generally speaking, the times that we've been allowed to wear costumes the permission has come only grudgingly and with a lot of rules (nothing frightening, only one day, only after lunch, and on and on). Usually when we costume the Hutt looks at us with barely restrained disgust. The only exception to this hatred is the Hutt's favorites. If any of the favorite employees wear a costume they are fawned over for minutes at a time (even if the "costume" is ears made from pipe cleaners). 

Honestly, that hatred only fuels our desire to put on fake beards and capes.

The costume battle took an interesting turn this Halloween. This year, a large percentage of staff members arrived at Tartarus in costume. Customers thought we were amazing. The Hutt was thrilled. We found out later that the Hutt claimed to have arranged the whole thing. It was actually Spoof.

We dressed up again this week for a program, this time just the two of us. We looked amazing, if we do say so ourselves. Photos were taken. There may even have been a t.v. interview. The Hutt again is taking the credit. Funny how that happens.

All we can say is this:

We are slightly awesome!
