Dual realities, Optimism and UFOs - an esoteric EarlyBird meeting

 

TM Carmine started us off with the lighter side of idioms. We came to find out that….

• TM Lorena is beginning to trust that the light at the end of the tunnel is beautiful daylight, not an oncoming train as she had previously thought.
• Guest Dianne confirmed that in order to straighten out those pesky wrinkles in shirt collars, you must strike while the iron is hot.
• TM Jose bites more than he can chew at every meal but pulling a thumbnail sketch out of hat at an interview landed him a lucrative job.
• I (TM Ana) burn my bridges and shoot myself in the foot as part of my favorite daily activities.
• TM Paolo compared table topics to skydiving and when the red timing light strikes, he upset the dot dot dot without losing his adrenaline rush. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
• TM Jim D. confirmed that you break new ground when you fail to open the parachute on a red timing light or run into the train when chasing the light at the end of the tunnel.

And then came the prepared speeches….

• I, TM Ana, stated that dual realities are just one big fat lie invented as a marketing campaign by the lenscrafters chain. I Won Best Speaker Award.
• TM Aleta revealed that -as suspected by our group- she is an eternal optimist who finds the donkey in the you-know-what… in the divorce, what were you thinking???
• DTM Kip asserted that he just got off a flying saucer and became a consultant who gets paid to give people esoteric choices about their devices. His Pathways advice is for fun and for free.

As far as evaluations go…

• TM Pam asked me to spend a little cash and get better lighting and to put down the dang prop gently to avoid giving the audience an earache. She Won Best Evaluator Award. Besides that, she loved the speech….LOL (eerily reminiscent of “Mrs. Lincoln, besides that, did you enjoy the play?”)
• TM Marie commended TM Aleta for her cheerful disposition and her ability to make a sno-cone out of a blizzard of multi-marriages.
• TM Tom asked DTM Kip to stop fluttering his eyes and declared his undying friendship to this friendly martian.

The Word of the Day was



ESOTERIC, adj.

Understood by only a select group of people.



Example: The word esoteric stuck TM Carmine in a spinning wheel between Esoteric and Exoteric. As much as he tried, he just couldn’t get unstuck. Will he move on by next Thursday??? (To be continued…)
