Ahoy! Free doughnuts on the horizon

Alas! Yarr! Shiver me timbers! No quarter! Blimey!

You might want to polish up your best pirate-speak, and head over to Spokane Valley tomorrow.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts franchises throughout the nation will be giving away free original glazed doughnuts Thursday to patrons who talk or dress like pirates.

Speaking  like a pirate will garner one free doughnut. Dressing the part will earn a dozen, but only to buccaneers wearing three or more of the following: eye patch, pirate hat, bandana, peg leg, parrot on shoulder, pirate shirt/loose white shirt, knickers, leather belt, silver and gold necklaces and earrings, pirate hook, pointy black boots or ragged brown sandals.

Editor’s note: In full disclosure, we’re posting this in a sugary, doughy haze since an unsolicited box of fresh Original Glazed Krispy Kremes made its way to the newsroom a little while ago, courtesy of a company representative.

The doughnut makers are hoping that like us, you’ll do anything for one of their tasty treats.
