Q:Ok, so when I make it out to Gotham later this year, there are some important things I need to know: a) How does one get initiated into the jaunty chapeau wearing crime fighting syndicate? b) If one is accepted, what are the costume requirements? c) Will a "faithful sidekick" nickname be given to me, or will I have to come up with my own? d) Does the syndicate have a name since The Avengers and The Winos have already been claimed? e) Will there be baking involved? I love baking.

Hm.  Well, being inducted into our secret ranks is a long and difficult process.  Namely one must stop a crime. Crimes may be, but not are limited to:

  • Unintentional disposal of bacon.
  • Refusal to read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
  • Burning of chocolate.
  • Banning barbarians.
  • Carrying a concealed whisk.

Costume requirements are as follows:

  • Hat. (If not jaunty in style, said chapeau must at the least be worn at a rakish angle.)
  • Supportive Undergarments.
  • Stylish Fleece Loungewear.

Sidekick names may be either literary, culinary, or snark(erary?) Current names up for grabs:

  • The Dark Enrober
  • The Deconstructionist
  • Mandoline
  • The Unreliable Narrator
  • Silpat

Our Syndicate is as yet unnamed. Some candidates in the running:

  • The Society of Quill and Flatware
  • The League of Exceptional Taste
  • Task Force Snuggie
  • Chapeau Squadron

There will be baking.

To others wishing join our ranks, please forward your inquiries and CVs to the secretary.
