It's spelled addiction. If your going to make "addiction" the focus if your speech you should know how to spell the word.

[MrReynoldskyle]

you coppied darren Lacroix's original humorous speech .

[rsamberg]

MrReynoldskyle,

What drugs are you on? I did not copy Darren La Croix's humorous speech. I never heard his speech, and I'm sure it had nothing to do with what I said in my speech. It was a speech about an addition I have to free food, and it is very true. I would appreciate it if you didn't make accusations that you cannot back up.

Good work i liked you speech. I have my Humorous Speech Contest this coming Tuseday and i don't know what to talk about. Wish me luck.

[rsamberg]

One thing I like to do for a humorous speech is to think of something in life that really annoys me, and make it humorous. Once I did a speech called "Pager Hell" when I had to carry a pager at Oracle, and got paged one night 5 times around 3 am.

Thanks for your tip, it really helped me. I just wanted to tell you that i got the 2nd place. :)

Thanks

Congratulations. You should post your speech on YouTube if you have the video.

Thank you for your comments. I am still in Toastmasters, but I haven't had time to compete in speech contests lately. I plan to get back to it soon. I do a lot of evaluations and have competed in evaluation contests with Toastmasters.

Randy,

This is a very good speech. Great intro with a question. I found the bits about Hometown Buffer and CostCo funny even though I live in England and do not know exactly what they are like! I also love the way you brought up Tupperware Guy! What happened to you? Did you make more progess in the last two years with Toastmasters?

Nice work.

[rsamberg]

Thank you. I appreciate all of the comments.

Oh - one more thing. At our company, free food (leftover meeting food) disappears within *MINUTES* of being announced. I like how you developed your topic.

[rsamberg]

I got 2nd place. Thanks for your comments. It disappears pretty quickly at my company too.

[mfte260]

This speech really hits high gear with the "Hometown Buffet". How did it do in the contest?
