Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
I, Ana, got us thinking about idioms. We came to learn that...
* TM Jim G., zooming in from Bexhill-on-Sea, UK, right next to Stratford-upon-Avon and north of Surrey-on-Thames, cannot for the life of him jolly well figure out what a dime a dozen means, since a dime is 10 and a dozen is apparently 12.
* TM Chris stays away from rotting kettles of fish because the smell takes her breath away in a very fishy way. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Randolph pondered that a caboodle is something with wheels and the whole kit must be the wheel of fortune.
* DTM Mary Helen has no idea of the price of onions but it's brutally impacting their budget because she cooks them every single day. Onion allergy sufferers need not visit.
* TM Marie reflected that people need to be responsible for the animal in their life (may include -but not necessarily- their spouse) to avoid barking up the wrong tree.
* DTM Jim D. is considering that a blowtorch may help straighten out a Spanish bull's horns.
Along came the prepared speeches...
* TM Tom reminisced about the days of yellow hip huggers in MIami Springs until he got trapped into loving ownership of a camouflaged Shih Tzu, purely descended from a Lhasa Apso and in reality a loving tiger.
* TM BeckyJo lovingly recounted the many adventures of her creative Dad, including building a silver Taj Mahal in their front yard, and the counterinsurgency measures of her Code Enforcement whistleblower Mom. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations go....
* TM Marie praised TM Tom's story within a story, with vivid language, varied vocal variety, deep vulnerability and a reminder of the importance of Cracker Barrell. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* DTM Jim D. was impressed with TM BeckyJo's vocal clarity, perfect diction and her uncanny ability to make us reflect about taking the long and winding road to start a rolling food truck business.
