Dear Members, Guests and Friends,
TM BeckyJo corroborated history's duplicitous nature when she revealed that St Patrick's real name was Maewyn Succat (St Patrick is catchier), his meanderings are dubious at best and he wasn't even canonized. He did, however, invent green beer.
We also learned that...
* TM Tom is a tough Irishman who believes in elves and is meagerly forgiving because mercy droppeth from heaven smack onto the middle of a football field.
* TM Paolo burst our bubble by stating that spaghetti is Chinese, pizza is French and Italy's national dish turns out to be corned beef pizza. It's all in the marketing! He Won Best Table Topics Award.
* DTM Mary Helen asked TM BeckyJo to take it back, take it back, the Irish DO NOT like pork, she will not stand for this duplicitousness.
* TM Astrid is Puerto Rican and as such, proudly confesses that she's never even heard of St Patrick but she absolutely knows there's always a duplicitous agenda behind it all.
* TM Randolph works a lot because kids are expensive but some day he will earn gold by singing and writing songs for other artists. (Note from the EarlyBirds: He will succeed, too!)
* TM Emmanuel would go to Russia and China in a yellow submarine and feel just like a fish in water.
* TM Chris pondered if there's any other kind of party but an Irish party and her favorite memories are of dancing on crutches at an Irish pub!
In our prepared speeches...
* Guest speaker TM Tim proved to us irrefutably that the key to success is to avoid Irish traffic lights on Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, NY. He Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Pam revealed that St. Patrick was best friends with Roman tyrant Coroticus who invented green beer to unclog corotid arteries. The details are lost in the mist of history.
As far as evaluations go...
* TM Randolph praised TM Tim and asked him to buy the Camera Angle instruction book recently published by our own TM Paolo.
* DTM Mary Helen marveled at TM Pam's ability to debunk a duplicitous saintly myth in 5 to 7 minutes, much longer than the time it takes to gulp a mug of green beer. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
