Schmidty is missing.... Wanted, Dead or Alive!

Hello fellow TM's,

There will be no questions asked, no flashlights involved, no tazzer, or large TTU football player involved for interrogation purposes.

If "Schmidty" - my friendly spider is returned unharmed and in one plastic piece.

I will not name names but someone who was sitting on the right side of the room (closest to the windows) swiped my Schmidty from inside the pumpkin candy bowl.

You KNOW who you are!! I know that he was irresistible - but he's needed at IE 210B for ghastly deeds and his medication.

Schimdty can best be described as a medium sized squishy black spider with a red marking on his back. He was last seen inside the second pass around of the pumpkin candy bowl Tuesday morning. Pictures below resemble Schmidty.

Schmidty in a happier times.

There is a REWARD for Schmidty's safe return.

Please return Schmidty to his rightful owner at the next Toastmaster meeting and no harm will come to you - I mean no questions will be asked.

Even if Schmidty was to return anonymously - that would be great.

Thanks,

Schmidty's Lonely Owner

Area 5 Humorous Speech Contest Recap

Congratulation Russ! As you always tell us, every contestant is a winner. Russ did a superb job on Saturday Area Contest. He incorporated almost all the suggestions that we gave him 2 weeks ago and he got rid of the female impersonation. We are proud of you for participating.

On a side note, Javier volunteered at the very last minute to be the target speaker for the Evaluation Contest and Javier did an excellent job.

This came in kind of late. The Area Contest was on Saturday, Sept. 29 at LP&L Operation Center.

Using TM Skills in MX

Fellow TM:

I just wanted to let you know that these last few weeks I have been using my TM skills a lot. I gave a Seminar, I had to speak on the radio, I was introduced to some people and after a brief awkward silent had to say something about me. (Kind of a combination of an ice breaker and table topics). You guys would be proud of me!! Take care y'all.

ps. I have a question for Wiki Waters...If I want to buy a new boomerang, how do I get rid of the old one?
