Someone mentioned it in the Obama thread and it sounded funny. Anyone done it?

Sadly they have not at the meetings I've attended.
Now, I'm not saying there are not a few members that won't drive me to drink. It's a work thing for me. Help develop my speaking skills, networking, all that jazz. |

Society has made us ashamed of our uhs and ums. Embrace them.

I don't think JeFa needs an excuse or a reason to drink. He just will. Sorta like Slip.

What's the point of toasting without booze?

It's never been about umms and ahhs for me. I need to learn to slow down when I speak for the most part.
Again, bitches are gonna make me pay a nickel per "umm" and "ahh" apparently. I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon how much I had to pay. Maybe we should start a pool ;) |

I'm with merkyl. I hate people who toast with a glass of ice water.

Does your arm get tired from holding your glass up all night, GNG?

The speech is just my "icebreaker" so it's about me. Whatever I want to tell them about myself in 4-6 minutes. It was hard, but I left the part
about Survivor Sucks out.
I figure when I have to do the speech on some illness or a cause I'll use OT. I've decided my speech will incorporate song lyrics as transitions between the different parts of my life . |
