Dear Members, Friends and Guests,
TM Randolph evoked the tricky durability of 80s films by way of memorable quotes. We soon found out that...
* TM Jose brought us back to maverick crotch rockets and F18 hornets, and eternal youth acquired via devilish pacts.
* TM Aleta recited "How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Grains of Sand" (from E.A. Poe's "A Dream Within A Dream"). She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Marie pined over the song "Stand By Me" and spoke about the incredible commitment that it entails, which is sometimes downright Goofy.
* TM Chris had trouble buying tickets at a post-apocalyptic metro station, but was rescued by Crocodile Dundee, here in South Florida known as Iguana Dundee.
* TM BeckyJo thinks "First Blood" must be a vampire movie and if arrested and thrown in a Mexican jail, her friends would definitely smuggle in some chimichangas to her.
* DTM Jim D. missed some movies while climbing the aviation corporate ladder but in case of emergency, he'd wear a back sign saying "Follow Me".
* TM Jim G. talked about "I'll have what she's having" and stated unequivocally that when chemistry happens between 2 people, noise ensues.
We had two prepared speeches...
* TM Tom has childhood memories as a coal miner's grandson and sang John Pine's "Paradise" with guitar strumming punctual DTM Kip.
* I, Ana, told a speech about being "Long Tall Ana" by Chiquito Ricardo, and disappeared into the virtual ether in a game of "Where's Ana?" instead of "Where's Waldo?" I Won Best Disappearing Speaker Award.
And along came the DAYS' evaluations....
* DTM Jim D. praised TM Tom's tribute to DTM Kip, who fortuitously knew the comeback line to most classic songs and had a keen eye to select our EarlyBird Club Secretary. in perpetuity.
* DTM Mary Helen D. liked my ability to turn tall negatives into tall positives and at the height of it all, she evaluated it up to me. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
In loving tribute to DTM Kip, we watched his speech on Mentoring in Toastmasters. Thank you, TM Chris, for queuing up these speeches for us to learn while keeping his memory alive in the group!
The Word of the Day was
TRIVIAL, adj.
Of little value or importance.
Example: Huge fines were imposed on those who engaged in trivial pursuits.
See you next week!
Ana I.
