Talking Tips, by John O’Brien, directed by Lisa Burdick, is the funniest of the five sketches. It takes place in a public speaking class taught by the eccentric and slightly irreputable Orville Goodpecker, who advertises donuts to attract newcomers like Ben (Andy Riel) and then gives him a single, individually wrapped donut. Goodpecker teaches his class with dictatorial control until Lt. Falk (Greg Luzitano) and Evangeline Rasputin (Kristy Leahy) come to arrest him for illegal flyering, but he is saved by the inept but heartfelt speech of his student Isadora (Lara Krepps), who secretly has a crush...
...scrutiny run, I suggested that the FM staffers pull a second all-nighter that week to restuff the copies of FM with a new center spread. Perhaps we should have run the distorted spread and not come back in at 4 a.m. that Thursday morning to blast music, eat donut holes and systematically insert the 3,000 new spreads until 8 a.m. The issue wasn’t door-dropped and my relaxed post-spring break feeling was killed, but schlepping a stack of fresh FMs into Mather Dining Hall at 8 a.m. and seeing the 10 students there pounce...
...tries to go to sleep by 6 or 7 p.m. At this point, after working at The Crimson for almost 15 years, he says sometimes he even wakes up without the alarm. He doesn’t stop for breakfast on his way in, just a coffee and a donut at Mike’s Donuts in Everett. To accompany this meal, he smokes GT One full flavor cigarettes. “I buy generic ones, whatever’s cheap,” he says. With the radio tuned to 1510 AM, Dioguardi gets to work taping film together...
...Dunkin’ Donuts favorites are present and accounted for—from cinnamon to powdered sugar to chocolate glazed—and all with the same reliable taste you remember from high school student council meetings. Though the dough is bone-dry, the sugars, glazes and frostings that coat each donut choice make the bready interior seem irrelevant. A warning against the strawberry frosted donuts: the pink icing is oh-so-cute, but the sprinkles are sugar overload. Don’t eat without milk nearby...
While many may gravitate toward classics like French crullers and Boston Kremes, the seasonal choices are the way to go this fall. Try the pumpkin donut, a muffin-like concoction with a gentle glaze of sugar, or the maple-frosted version. Adventurous diners should sample the apple cider donut, which actually tastes like the traditional Thanksgiving drink, albeit mixed with batter and deep-fried in lard. Not quite Grandma’s pie, but at $0.69 a donut, they’re worth testing. The $2.85 two-donuts-and-a-medium-coffee special makes for the ideal grab...
