International Idioms, Fashionistas and Wild Obsessions - an emphatic morning at Early Birds!



Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

First-time Table Topics Master, TM Maria, dazzled us with visual international idioms, most of which no one ever heard of!  We soon learned that...

* TM Jose dislikes cucumbers but sees himself as alternating between Cool Hand Luke and Raging Bull (a legend in his own mind).  He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM BeckyJo became her best Eyetalian version and emphatically stated that with or without holes, we can always have donuts.  Cara mia!!
* TM Randolph was not too keen on breaking fast with an onion - unless it's sandwiched into a quarter pounder at his favorite burger shack.
* Guest Paula likes to slide in on a prawn sandwich as a voluntary responsible participant in the surfing contest of her life.
* TM Tom dislikes hair on his teeth but does not cease to be amazed by the Dutch and how they build cities underwater.
* TM Emmanuel can't wrap his throat around swallowing a camel, even a baby one.
* TM Chris would not tie a bear to anyone mostly because the bear would be unhappy.
* TM Marie is happily married to a gourmet cook but the downside is that all her cheeks are getting bigger and bigger.

Regarding prepared speeches....

* TM Astrid reminded us that dressing is symbolic and only those under 40 should attempt nude dressing in dopamine colors under the overall metaverse.  She Won Best Speaker Award.
* I, Ana, recounted my love affair - NOT- with wild animals and my broken promises not to ever gossip again.

As far as evaluations go...

* TM Randolph was amazed at TM Astrid's speech, its subtleness, what lies beneath and her quest to deflect avatars.  He cautioned her to keep her distance from the camera.or face the risk of falling through zoom time.
* TM Chris thoroughly enjoyed my zany descriptions of the Wild Wild World of Montana Moose and Goose.  She Won Best Evaluator Award.

The Word of the Day was

EMPHATIC, adj.
Strong and clear without any possiblity for doubt.

Example:  Our self-introductions today were unfalteringly emphatic.

See you next week!
