Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM Scott started us with an Invocation in the Tahino, Tequesta and Seminole tradition, during which we learned that they were all ancient Snow Birds, leaving the Everglades for the Keys – not to avoid the heat as they wore skimpy tangas – but to escape the swarms of mosquitoes and enjoy a few Margaritas during the hot summer months.
TM Randolph surprised us with unusual topics. We heard that….
- TM Tom wants to star in Howdy Doody Wrestler to the entrance theme song of Rocky played with tubas.
- TM Chris solemnly affirms she saw telltale bubbles from an amphibian gassy sea robin in the otherwise silent world of diving. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
- TM Pam couldn’t choose to be the smartest or the funniest person in the room because she actually knows she’s both. She avoids tripping on banana peels, though.
- TM BeckyJo makes silly faces to her 5 yr old grand nephew while he reads Winnie the Pooh to her.
- TM Jim G. was hard pressed (pun intended) to think of a prank he’s committed against his wife other than having her come home to a clean house, bypassing the cleaning lady option.
- TM Aleta reveres Cher’s risqué outfits and will have her as first guest in the upcoming late night talk show. Oh, if she could turn back time…. (sung to the tune of “If I Could Turn Back Time” by Cher).
- TM Scott lives in Groundhog Bay where he has seen the movie 20 times in one Day – and counting…..
Along came the prepared, pre-planned speeches (and one improvised)…
- TM Carmine’s virtual friend has showed up in person and is exuberant, exciting, non-mood altering, a millionaire and leads Carmine to close encounters of the fun kind with sinfully unmarried octagenarians. A blind date is being set up between Missouri and Southwestern Pennsylvania as we speak. Stay tuned.
- TM Marie spoke of the joy of connectedness and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who said the world is round so friendships can encircle it and Jesuit priests may propagate the earth. Ah mes amis!
- TM Chris showed us how to look up our old speeches and push them to our suffering friends during our frequent episodes of acute self-indulgence. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go…
- First-time evaluator TM Lois commended TM Carmine for presenting stimulating real topics with good diction and avoiding his natural tendency to ignore the Timer. Good job Lois!4
- TM Scott quoted Rene Descartes “Je Pense Donc Je Suis” which crushed our loyalty to Willy’s quote “To Be Or Not To Be – That Is The Question”. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
- Amid rustling papers, DTM Kip gave a superb critique of TM Chris’s speech spontaneity and had the profound revelation that this group needs all the Tech Tips we can get.
Several of us tried our level best to promote TM Jim G. to DTM Jim G. but it did not fly.
General Evaluator DTM Mary Helen suffered tribulation with her Mute Button and has signed up for a Mute/Unmute Crash Course at Mute/Unmute School of Technology in nearby Commute St.
The Word of the Day was
