Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I kinda like the idea of Bitches running a Toastmaster's thing, with PP.
Table Topics: Naked Hot People. Merkins I Have Known. The Unbearable Sadness of the Misused Semicolon.
(I googled, too.)
It would SO cutthroat and vicious! In a nice way. Our standards would be ridic high on vocabulary.
It basically sounds like Toastmaster's needs 6 people to do every month what 1 English teacher does every day.
I need a toastmasters type thing. I used to be good at public speaking. I don`t know how I talked myself into not being good at it but I want it back.
Yeah, but as an English teacher you don't get to award yourself a new title for telling people how many times they said "um".

and yet again, I was doing it wrong. I had many titles, including La Maestra Suprema, Lady Miss G, and Empress of Grammar.
If they hadn't fired me, I'd be Potentate of the Multiverse by now. Stupid wonky uterus ruined my 'verses domination. Bitch.
I miss public speaking. That was a good part of my MI job. Overshadowed, but good.
Where's the cranberry? Seems like a gimme.
Oh, dear god, ita.
That was nastier than goatse.
I think that looks fun! And possibly delicious.
But you'll remember my obsession with meat muffins last winter....

IIRC, our own Billytea is a member.
I am indeed, though given my history with the FAC, this may not settle the matter.
Anyway. It's a public speaking club. It gives people a safe venue in which to give speeches and get peer feedback, and a program to work through different aspects of speechcraft.
I had considered joining Toastmaters at one point, but the uberserious turned me off.
This baffles me. I've been a member of several TM clubs, and never encountered anything like this. What do you mean by uberserious?

Um. No.
Um. No.
I'd hope that's the case, given that I know it's been an important thing for you -- on the other hand, they seriously need someone to include moar fun and less Robert's Rules in their website and wikipedia page.
