“Dog Loyalty or Dog Dooty?” Meeting Recap – 10/22/08

Toastmaster/emperor Albert probably had no idea just how appropriate his chosen theme would prove to be. Albert started with a dog theme, took it to a discussion of duty and loyalty, and then landed on the subject of doggy dooty. From table topics to speeches to evaluations, we talked about poop. Sounds immature, but we actually had a wonderful meeting and did what everyone does in the face of dooty jokes. We laughed. A lot.

Amy, who is still in the early motherhood stages with her new pup, inspired the original dog theme for this week’s meeting and walked us through table topics. Keith, lying through his teeth, continued the descent into crapsville, claiming to hate dogs, though he has four. Susana went with Underdog as her favorite famous canine. Carol refused to tell us of a situation she has gotten in that she couldn’t get out of, but she did encourage us to vote on November 4.

Then came speeches. Taline confessed an addiction to Facebook. Brian conveyed his frustration with the 700 billion dollar bailout. Then came Rey with tales of farts, stenches, and a baby slathered with human excrement.

Louis, Lora, Jenny and Corky offered evaluations, and though Louis, Lora and Jenny managed to keep things clean, Corky happily joined in the dog turned dooty theme, talking crap with the best of them.

To help us along, Wendy, Marsha, and Patrick performed roles without stepping in any. Thank you guys.

Thanks to all for a fine, though filthy, meeting. We hope you didn’t get any on you.
