Dear Members, Friends and Guests,
First Time TableTopic Master Val gave us plenty of food for thought... And we discovered that....
* TM Marie's life is a musical and at all times she breaks into song. There's no intermission!
* TM Aleta would never, ever, ever, leave herself behind. She is her own best self-entertainer.
* DTM Jim D. relishes that delish caramel macchiato - make it decaf, please, to keep him at a manageable energy level.
* I, Ana, would rather be a rottweiler than a toy poodle, and I need a dog mirror to ascertain my size compared to those yappy little daring rats.
* TM Chris confessed that she married TM Jim G. mostly because of his 4-letter word last name. Her river rafting stage name is Yoyonoise.
* Returning TM Astrid would target the young in a Register to Vote campaign if only politicians weren't such scofflaws. You're back in the swing of TM, Astrid!
* TM Jose, aka Mad Max, accepts water as rent payment, in his frequent time travels. Where's Thunderdome? He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* Guest Emanuel loves all kinds of fruit - except pineapple, which makes him dizzy. Life is good when you are eating fruit.
* Guest Aziz would put a banana on his sooty chimney and get a monkey with a broom to sweep it squeaky clean.
Great job with Table Topics, TM Val!
We heard two versions of the same speech:
* He Said (DTM Jim D.) He belongs to an eating club with a riding disorder known as Harley D, and had to fly to Dubai to visit the local HD dealership. "A happy wife is a happy life." He Won Best Speaker Award.
* She Said (DTM Mary Helen D) Dubai and Abu Dhabi are like Vegas on steroids and discovered that uncovered toes have no sex appeal in the Emirates.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Chris praised DTM Jim D. for his excellent vocal variety, especially when LOOSELY describing the euphemistic Customer Service. She Won Best Evaluator.
* TM Marie loved hearing both sides of a story, DTM Mary Helen's being the one with the most joie de vivre, DTM Jim D.'s being the one with the most Harley.
