“Thanksgiving” Meeting Recap – 11/18/2009
Today was the obtuse “word of the day.” In true Emperor fashion, two words – not just one – were chosen by Sir Albert: masticate and felcherize. With a theme of “Thanksgiving,” words like “thanks” “turkey” or even “pilgrim” would really nicely roll off the tongue. Before you report this site as NSFW (Not Safe [...]

Albert rallied the troops for this meeting as the Toastmaster. The dynamic was a bit different from normal meetings, as this one began with most everyone sharing a brief dedication to a loved one. It was clear that the family and friends still serving are greatly missed [...]

“Hook-Up” Meeting Recap – 10/14/2009
Certain female members of the club have waited a long time for this meeting, for Carlos to be the day’s Toastmaster, as is evidenced by the unusually high email reminder traffic, and he was the perfect person to present the theme of “I got the Hook-Up.” In this context, imagine something more along the lines [...]
