TM Carmine prepped us for the upcoming Table Topics Contest with 2-word Table Topics. It became clear that…
- TM Jeff is writing a book titled “Life According to Golf Supersedes Pesky Imperfection”. We EarlyBird members all want a signed copy.
- DTM Mary Helen pondered about hoax versus reality and concluded that she’s living in a universe of parallel reality. So there.
- TM Denis cheerfully stated that the pollution party is coming to a screeching halt and we will all drown in a cesspool disinfected by ample reserves of Jack Daniels and Johnnie Walker.
- TM Jim prefers to talk about women’s rights versus women’s lefts and is looking forward to a matriarchal parallel universe. We know he’s sleeping in the big bed tonight, Bada Bing Bada Boom.
- I (TM Ana) try to discard the heavy suitcase of punishment that I sometimes carry along because the subject of my unforgiveness is usually dancing at the Bada Bing Bada Boom nightclub and lounge.
- TM Marie said despair is self-inflicted, the unexpected surpasses all expectations and happily concluded that hope is indeed eternal.
- TM Chris said power is often not accompanied by justice – or else what’s heaven for? In an unexpected Book Club-inflicted detour, she took us to the Presidential Palace in Santiago de Chile, bombed to smithereens along with Salvador Allende in 1973. Bada Bing Bada Boom.
- TM Roosevelt chooses wealth over poverty, but is well aware that wealth does not equate happiness – just look at happy shirtless kids under mango trees in Port-au-Prince and those jumping off the towers of high finance in Wall Street when the Dow goes down. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
We heard some excellent speeches….
- TM Pam regaled us with the good, the bad and the ugly - her fantasy of a Thanksgiving/Birthday celebration with her scattered progeny. Lessons learned: cranberry cement over crackers is now a trendy appetizer, your chronically unpunctual offspring are chronically unpunctual and the smell of roast turkey overrides Covid hypochondria. She Won Best Speaker Award.
- DTM Kip’s Harry Potter/Dickensian boarding school and if nothing else, his trusted mentor Professor Hogwart Donnelly fully prepared Kip for his legendary annual Halloween speech with a smoking cauldron of New Ageism.
- TM Aleta survived the obstacles in her otherwise virtuous virtual arbitration hearing while her dog Bogie, like the late actor who bore the same name, was totally strung out on prescription drugs.
As for evaluations….
- TM Tom marveled at TM Pam’s air of command and organization while herding family turtles and he, for one, would never dare be late to her birthday party. He hopes this will get him an invitation to the next one, in spite of the pervasive Covid miasma.
- TM Denis fully enjoyed hearing about DTM Kip’s college advisor who play-acted historic eras and inspired DTM Kip to persevere in his failed experiments with photocells which naturally resulted in Kip’s lifetime animosity toward hapless Puritans.
- TM Roosevelt praised TM Aleta’s endurance to low bandwidth and encouraged her to always have a “Plan B”, whose name is Jim G (it rhymes), for shared screen expediency and timing requirements. He Won Best Evaluation Award.
The Word of the Day was
BADA BING BADA BOOM
Exclamation, North American, informal
To do something effortlessly and smoothly.
Example: Watch ineffable episodes of Tony Soprano spending time at his club, Bada Bing, and doling out Bada Boom to those who stray.
