I'm trying to put notes together for Greg's

rough, if anyone wants to suggest fixes I'd love that. Needs to by 10AM

OK, from my Toastmasters experiences (DTM, senior executive, etc), here's
some feedback...
The theme is Greg was a ninja, I'm only just
realizing it. I've got
lots of stories but they all involve me so if I'm taking up too much
time or boring people all I need to see is one person waving their hand
like "move it along" and I'll wrap it up. I can whittle it down to just
two stories but here is the list.
Find out how much time you have, and rehearse them in front of someone
with a stopwatch and time cards (in TM, green means OK so far i.e. past
the minimum time, yellow means start winding down, red means sit down,
because in TM contests you are disqualified if you get the red). You'll
find that people have no idea for how long they can talk, once they get
carried away...
Ninja Greg does music (have to do this one, I have
pictures).
Agreed (and being a muso I'd like to see those pix myself).
Ninja Greg bitch slaps the government with Larry
Possibly not... More about you than Greg.
Ninja Greg takes Larry to the NSA, Larry ends up
staring at pissed Marines
Ditto...
Ninja Greg gets Larry a wife
Keep it if there's time i.e. run it last. A short presentation is more
memorable than a long one.
Happy Greg lifts a log (have to do this one, I have
pictures)
Definitely (I saw the pix).
