Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
I started us off on Easter peculiarities in other countries. We discovered that….
- Resident Peep Expert TM Pam reminisced about Peeps on the Beach and the Peep Show that runs till the ants come home…
- TM Jose is all set to savor Valencia’s Easter doughnuts which come with a sprinkle of paella.
- TM Paolo is torn between Colomba di Pasqua and Chocolate Dove. This is known as the Italian Easter Sunday dilemma. He Won Best Table Topics Award.
- Guest Val would gladly join the Roux, France Easter Monday project – cracking and beating 4,500 eggs to serve an Easter omelette to over 1,000 people. Who’s going to do the cleanup, though?
- TM Randolph cleverly realized that in Finland, Easter and Halloween had a baby – the witches of Easter-wick.
- TM Carmine declared the Hungarian Easter Sunday tradition of chucking water buckets over folklorically-costumed girls a Boondoggle.
- DTM Kip – currently in a bad marriage with AOL- was intrigued by the Papua, New Guinea Easter Trees decorated with cigarettes.
Today we had serious prepared speeches…
- TM Tom has a tribal cat who waited 3 years before entering the house. Is It You, Is It Me, Or Is It Boondoggle? Tough to condense it in 5 to 7 minutes…
- TM Aleta asked herself – and us- will we EVER return to normal? We’ve become increasingly disjointed, discombobulated, boondoggled. Therein lies the question. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations…
- Cat-person TM Pam reminded TM Tom that cats are not tribal, they are simply evil. She encouraged him to give less tribal examples, more comments at the end.
- TM Randolph praised TM Aleta for her fireworks personality and encouraged her to condense the speech in the interest of time. He Won Best Evaluator Award.
Multitasker TM Scott was Grammarian, Ah Counter, Joke Master and General Evaluator. Great job, Scott!
The Word of the Day was
BOONDOGGLE, noun or verb
n. Work or activity that is wasteful or pointless but gives the appearance of importance.
v. Engaging in a pointless activity.
Example: We have lately witnessed lots of boondoggle.
See you next week!
