Hey, I got a new computer desk! My mom wanted something smaller so she could put a bed in the room where her second computer is, so she gave me this big desk and I gave her a nice day bed with trundle.

oooooooo.... effective public speakin', huh?... I'd be happy to teach yuh evrythin' I know...
Do they teach you how to say "Blow it out your shorts"?
1. You have to assume your audience is stupid, so say everything over and over again.
2. You now have to assume that you are unable to communicate effectively, so say everything over and over again.
3. Even though you are saying everything over and over again, you still need to have an intro, reason to listen, credentials, thesis statement, 3 major points with 2 subpoints and at least 4 subpoints, summary, and clincher, and you have only 6 minutes to speak.
Have I said that I hated it.
It really is an awful way to give a speech. To have to write assuming that your audience is too stupid to understand and you are too incompetent to communicate effectively.
Maybe I should throw in a couple of lockbox references in my speech.
I tried to post some here, but all I got was the little boxes with red x's in them, and we've seen those before.
Go to the link and bring your medicine.
Have you already considered the whole "picture your audience naked wearing only black socks" thing?
Any word from Mrs. Stormhands?
Thought I mentioned this. She came home last night. She has to teach today. She plans on going back tomorrow after classes and come back Wednesday (she doesn't teach on Wednesday).
She'll be going down as her schedule allows. After what I saw this weekend, I really can't imagine it being more than just a few days. But, we've been wrong before.
Can you change it to "Why I Think We Should Get Out of Class Earley?"
[we probably won't get it right away either...]
But what about Norwood-Dingell?
Tornado warning in Cary, south and east of me!
That's the trouble I'm having with NaNoWriMo...
Maybe he's finally taking a shower...
That's why my crap is disjointed.
