Chow So You Want To Murder the Editorial Staff of the Stranger...

Posted by on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 12:43 PM

Guns aren’t lawful, nooses give, gas smells awful... and sprinkling ricin in our cocktails won't work, because we're not all drinkers and we don't all go out drinking together that often. No, if you want murder the entire editorial staff of the Stranger at a go—and, really, who doesn't?—drop off some cheesecakes with maybe a nice ricin-and-graham-cracker crust.

Thank you, Baked in Seattle, for the lovely note and the even lovelier raft of delicious cheesecakes. The blueberry cheesecakes went fast, but I preferred the plain ones. So creamy, so delicious... and since everyone in editorial is still alive 72 hours later, we can safely say that your cheesecakes were so ricin-free too. Thanks again!

Potential murders should please note that this scheme will also take down a significant portion of the Stranger's web department. Not saying that would discourage you, but just so you know.

Maybe they're trying to kill you all in a more subtle way...by clogging your arteries, and giving you a heart at 62? If you get a large order of chili cheese fries sent to your offices, I think it can be considered an evil plot.

Plain cheesecake is definitely preferable. Serving it with fruit sauce is fine, but mixing the fruit in the cake? No thanks. And chocolate cheesecake is a crime against humanity.

Too soon. Too soon.

Safe cakes, Dan. Safe cakes.

Really, it won't be cheesecake. My money is on Death by Inane Blog Comments.

If I remember correctly didn't you guys have a fry every food imaginable day at the office? Maybe it was just the food editor. I think the clogged arteries route would be the way to go. We could send you tubs of trans fat Crisco and twinkies, bacon, mars bars, etc.

Nice Dorothy Parker reference...although you kind of trailed off a bit at the end there.

Chocolate cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Now that would be my preferred ricin-delivery system.
