Myszkowski performed first with a very laid-back style, telling the audience about her family and her love life, or rather lack thereof. She said so herself: she wishes batteries were cheaper. She has gone on dates because her rule when someone asks her for one is to say “yes.”

When the audience learned all these facts, however, Myszkowski was just warming up. She showed a maxipad she received in the mail and held it up to her head to show how large it was. She commented, “I wonder if all the other fat girls have enormous genitals and I’m just missing out or something.”

The best story she told was about her father who worked at a machine shop which sold emulsion mixing devices. Her father brought home five gallons of Vagisil and 15 years later, 4.9 gallons are left.

Aidan Zimmerman ’07 said, “I never knew what someone would do with five gallons of Vagisil. Now I know.”

Flaherty started off very strong with his professional comedian style by telling the top stories of the day. Then unexpectedly, for his last top story, he stole the show with his impressionist act of the Simpsons characters.

Flaherty also spoke about his high school teaching experiences. To the question of what is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding, a student wrote: “with ionic bondage…” Flaherty said that the person who wrote the answer is a freshman at RPI­—who also got the highest grade on his final.

The best story Flaherty told was about the fad of streaking which occurred in the ’70s. A year before streaking became a fad nationwide, on Sunset Terrace, “The professionals of Acacia and Delts were already doing it. Acacia was having a house meeting. Six guys from Delts banging on pots and pans came running naked through the house and back down to theirs. Our house president, thinking he had been challenged…everybody went down to Delts, piled into the living room where our house president started slowly stripping…everybody started popping clothes. What could top this evening off, we’re all standing naked here anyway. Let’s run to Phi Kappa Theta…They’ve got these big glass windows. I can’t imagine in that room with the big glass windows, some Phi Kappa Theta brother with his girlfriend he’s trying to get chummy with and seven naked bodies are pressed against the glass!”

Ben Wright ’08 said, “They really suited the audience because they could talk about college and relate to us, especially with the Delts story which was hilarious.”

Flaherty ended with convincing impressions of Donald Trump, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.

Rentas talked about a variety of subjects. He related to RPI students by telling about some of his college stories. He went to UConn and decided he would study hard—10 weeks, one chapter each week. Well, when his friend told him about a party, he would say he had to study. His friend only had to say something like “12 kegs,” and he’d go to the party.

Zimmerman said, “Angel was quick, witty, all over the board, got the jokes out fast in the style I like.”

Rentas’ Puerto Rican heritage came through strong through his stories. His dad thought AM meant American music and FM meant foreign music. His dad is the only Puerto Rican he knows with a Polish accent.

Rentas concluded that since many people have last names which indicate what their ancestors did, such as a Smith being a blacksmith, his family must be a family of pimps.
