Forest Gump Quotes, TM Hierarchy and Round Robin - a loquacious morning at EarlyBirds!


Dear Members, Guests and Friends,

TM Randolph got our minds working with memorable Forest Gump quotes.  We soon discovered that...

* TM Aleta had a profound revelation that only we can determine what our destiny is, forget the chocolates and unsolicited parental advice.
* TM Chris thoroughly enjoyed Bubba Gump Shrimp where stupid is as stupid does and where eating speaks louder than yapping.
* I, Ana, am in the eternal dilemma of which chocolate to daintily pick when in polite company rather than gobbling them all down sequentially.
* TM Pam realizes that hot cocoa is C-A-L-I-E-N-T-E and she doesn't want normal, she wants variety - and what's normal anyway?  She Won Best Table Topics Award.
* TM Marie strives to do the best with what God gave her because growing up she had a loquacious sister who took up everyone's talking space.
* TM Tom explained loquaciousness versus clarity and thinks he can explain to his grown kids in a way they definitely will not understand.

*TM Jim G. explained to us the until-now mysterious, enigmatic Toastmasters International structure in his Inaugural Address.  We found out that there are actually Grand Poobahs filling in positions at the District, Division and Area Level who in the past have visited our club without actually having been there.  He Won Best Speaker Award.
* TM Chris G. led us in a Round Robin Sequential Story, where we determined that
- Kids are irresponsible wannabe puppy owners
- They are much better off with robotic ones who are self-supporting
- Robotic puppies are rambunctious, playful furniture destroyers
- Puppy technicians learn how to build robotic semi-human puppies
- Robotic puppies are taking over the world

* TM Tom was amazed that there is actually Toastmasters life beyond the Club level and praised our President for his calm, centered, purposeful, charismatic gravitas.  He Won Best Evaluator Award.

The Word of the Day was

LOQUACIOUS, adj

Known to talk a lot, verbose.

We learn how to be loquacious but time-constrained in Toastmasters.

And so it was that our out-of-the-norm meeting came to an end.  We had a good time!

See you next week!
