Too Big To Believe - Or Too Great To Ignore - Tall Tales at Early Birds



Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

 

Our Tall Tales started off with…

 

  • DTM Kip as The Pied Piper of Las Olas following a beautiful store owner and ending up with a brass rat.
  • TM Tom building solid intraspecies relationships in his own private Garden of Eden. Visiting DTM Lois is moving into his back yard!
  • I, Ana, recounted the story of Havana’s Gentleman from Paris, who rafted to South Florida and transformed into Barry Gibb.
  • TM Aleta theatrically gardened  as Avid Gardner who splashed alcohol down her throat to remove snake toxins in a case of domestic violence while married to Ole Blue Eyes.   She Won Best Speaker Award.
  • TM Marie took us in an interplanetary 3D acid trip of dreamers, tossers, turners, skywalkers, moonwalkers and skull collectors – while her hubby and tabby slept peacefully next to her.
  • TM Carmine introduced us to all the dead people he knows who have turned him into a voracious reader.  He shoots for the moon and if he misses, he ends up with the stars.

 

And inverting the order of things,  we then had sequential Table Topics, wherein we embarked on a roller coaster ride:

 

  • DTM Kip obsessively talked about a ruckus in an Asian Restaurant ….
  • TM Chris looked through the window and saw TM Beckyjo in the midst of the ruckus and decided to walk to the (closed for renovation) Floridian, only to notice there were no cars
  • TM Paolo wanted to forget about hot air balloons in Arizona and focus get invited to the scrumptious breakfast being prepared for Kip, when he remembered we are on Zoom…
  • TM Randolph deep-sixed the hot air balloons going to Spain and instead decided to find out that the Las Olas commotion was because the snakes and the brass rats were eating the cat…
  • DTM Lois found a garden snake wrapped around a glistening Brass Rat statue….
  • TM Jim G. pondered about finding snakes in gardens, when alligators in The Everglades are overwhelmed by the itty bitty pet snakes turning into swamp reptiles.

 

Evaluations/General Evaluation:  DTM Lois gave incisive individual evaluations with audience participation.  Thank you for visiting us today!

 

Zoom Tech Report:   TM Jim G. is totally captivated by the little square boxes on the screen.  The end.

 

According to Chat Room rumor, TM Pam’s internet was taken hostage by gremlins.  It’s not a Tall Tale!       P.S.  Phone home!!!!

 

The Word of the Day was

 

DEEP SIX, noun

 

To abandon, reject, or otherwise get rid of. This slangy term dates from the mid-1900s and originated in the navy, where it meant throwing something or someone overboard. The “six” refers to the six-foot nautical fathom, the standard unit of measurement for sea depth.

 

Example:  To deep six in the Army is simply unfathomable.

Next week, we’re back to our usual moderate fibbing.
