Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!!

The good times, they did roll at today’s Mardi Gras meeting with Maureen as emcee!! She brought beads, mardi gras chocolate coins, and for her own personal amusement she threw in some FAKE [PLASTIC] chocolate coins. (Maureen we’ll be sending you our dental bills soon).

Rey “the Party Girl?” DeVeau, wearing a rather large collection of beads and wielding an empty whiskey jug, threw out table topics instead of candy, and all 3 participants dutifully exposed themselves: New member, yet experienced Toastmaster Leif recounted hilarious stories of his fanatically anti-Catholic mother who saved him from a baptism attack at the very last moment!! Noone will be surprised that Drew has NO regrets from her Mardi Gras on 6th street. Lesson learned: never take beads from strangers, especially Drew, she’ll make you pay! Carol also let it all out, with her alter ego Foxxy Brown coming out on sixth street. Apparently Foxxy loooves Maker’s Mark, or is it Marky Mark?

Miss Triple Threat Ania Joseph gave a motivational preach, I mean speech, on how to get over our habitual flaws and get ready for the International Speech Contest!!! Although starting out looking cute and professional enough, by the end of her speech, it looked like New Orleans threw up on her, with all the props and costumes she picked up on the way. “Feeling shy? carry a gun.” Best tongue-in-cheek presentation. ever.

Louis scared the pants off of us with a White House press release announcing that the all too possible war with Iran has begun. Afterwards, the audience assaulted him with questions, to which Louis responded with the familiar government doubletalk. Spot on! And congrats on completing another advanced manual!!

CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!
