Capital City Toastmasters

This one’s for my girls in the hood.

The annual Capital City Battle of the Sexes started with a bang! And her name is Amy Samet, the most prized female in our club, the PRESIDENT, and also today’s Toastmaster and completely unbiased referee.

Representin’ for da boyz, Jason brought us a word of the day from the urban dictionary: Weapons of Mass Distraction. Those are… well, Dolly Parton’s got ‘em for sure. Louis stepped up next, pitting guys and girls against each other in head-to-head table topics bouts.

Leeanne was the yin to Jason’s yang, both trying to explain what I believe were the universal men and women’s restroom signs that Louis drew on the board. Eric outrageously claimed that dogs are better than women, but no, no, no, Lora rebutted that dogs are better than every single male in her household, citing laziness and destruction against the men. Touché!

Michael’s icebreaker was a sneak attack on the men’s behalf: a hilarious story of being the fastest kid in school for 3 years.. until… Gretchen. Yes, she beat him. Score another one for the girls today!

Rey, the Toastmaster talk show host extraordinaire, used a gimic and a laptop to spice up the Successful Club Series speech on evaluating. Don’t worry if you missed it, there’s a video!! And it’ll be posted on the website sometime this week. You may want to check it out if your name begins with Alb or Cork. Great material on how to evaluate, and a fun advice column portion! Awesome!

Our two guests, Dennis and Gene, really enjoyed the meeting (despite all the male bashing) so we hope to see them again soon. Sheena popped in today to be our general evaluator, giving the girls an edge in the battle: hope to see you again soon too!

There was a vote and somebody won, but I can’t seem to remember who it was. If I had to guess, I’d say it was THE GIRLS, obviously. I’ll keep you updated if the memory ever comes back to me.
