I step away from my desk for five minutes and come back to find this:

It was not Paul, as I was talking to him when the (FOUR!?) cupcakes suddenly appeared. Nor was it Cienna. She was on the phone the whole time I was talking to Paul.
Now someone’s just fucking with me.

More like Cupcake-Gate. Aren’t you guys journalists?
Enuff already. We KNOW it’s a slow day at Slogsville
Are you looking for the wrappers yet? Either that or start smelling everyone’s breath for pumpkin!
Some one ate 8(!) of the cupcakes?! Some one will be very sick to their tummy if that is the case. And that will be the least of their worries….
Maybe it was an infrasound event.
Tomorrow, check everyone’s feces to see if you can smell pumpkin.
If they seriously ate them instead of just hiding them as a joke you need to kick some ass. That’s not cool.
Working in HR at The Stranger must be a nightmare akin to reading SLOG on a slow news day.
@7 I whole heartedly agree. I may cry.
Just steal one item off of everyone’s desk and hide them away until you get the rest of the cupcakes back.
Fight fire with fire Megan.
Where’s the DNA evidence?
Just throw gasoline all over the office and get out the matches. You’ll get a quick response at that point.
It was the elves that you displaced when you cleaned your desk.
Keep updated Slog with your recipes and photos, but under no circumstances should your bring treats into the office again. Be strong. There’s something especially loathsome about stealing something like a cupcake.
If you’d like to teach a more direct lesson—do you have a recipe for chocolate filled cupcakes, and does Ex-Lax melt convincingly?
We could threaten to sick some grabby-handed TSA inspectors on ’em – that might do the trick!
@14, I was thinking the same thing, Ex-Lax or Visine or something. Make them all suffer.
I agree with Gloomy Gus.
You need two legally-binding Slog polls. One to determine the culprit, the second to determine the punishment.
@18 I’m pretty sure it was Mr. Poe.
Speaking of being fucked with: who got the note from their landlord?
I for one am a fan of Last of the Time Lord’s idea. Maybe because pyromania is awesome.
@16 – Ex-lax would work, but Visine is pretty dangerous stuff. One side-effect of Visine poisoning is coma. Not that the jerk who stole the cupcakes doesn’t deserve it.
