Oct 20 meeting: "Fashionista"

Toastmaster Joyce King presided over a meeting that was the height of fashion, especially in the Table Topics. Our first-time guest Doss gave us a, shall we say, revealing insight into John's weekend wardrobe shortcomings, with yet another revelation from Pat Quick. Since John himself was the Topics Master, his inspiring questions may not have brought the expected results. (He blushes beautifully.)

Theresa Eller won the best speech prize for helping us to "Go Geek" and minister to our computers' better health. Pat realized how hard it is to be Timer. As Grammarian, Will Higgins saddled us with "kiosk" again as the word of the day, but then looked up too many potential sins in his book and discovered them to be legal usage. Jodie Sanders counted many more "so"s than "ah"s.  The Vote Counter gave out the ribbons, a practice seen at another club that we tried out tonight. Finally, Tammy Bailey discovered that the smell of fried chicken in the room was a culinary, not a neurological, phenomenon, and she had no cause for worry.
