Hey guys,
I brought a bunch of donuts in for you all enjoy. Be sure to grab
some.  There’s glazed (my personal favorite) and the regular kind with
chocolate frosting on top.  Yes, they’re from Dunkin’ Donuts, but you
can’t expect some kid from western PA who moved out here in the Fall
to know where all the “New York donut shops” are now can you?
I am aware there are many Gawker people who don’t actually work out of
the NY office.  Don’t worry, I thought of you out-of-towners (I always
think of everybody, that’s how my parents raised me).
