TalkBoard member alumni association?
Is there one? Should there be one?
Take it from me, it is WAY better to be a former TB board member than a TB board member. That said, aren't we kind of like the Marines: once one, always one?
We should band together! We can have ice cream socials and talk about how the TB was so much more effective and fun when WE were on it.
And if term limits initiative passes, our ranks will swell nicely.

Ice cream? Shouldn't that be champagne and canapes?!

Ooh - something to look forward to in the future - either champagne or vodka. Woo-hoo!

I think the TalkBoard should move to have Internet Brands provide a lifetime supply of ice cream and vodka to all TalkBoard members when they retire as a pension.

I agree. Chocolate ice cream - but since I got wasted & fell down a flight of spiral stairs on Vodka many years ago, I'd like tequila instead. Or some Bailey's - that goes nicely with ice cream.

In an Irish bar in Paris at about 2am New Year Day I watched a patron pour a shot of vodka into a glass of champagne.
As I said at the time, whatever floats your boat!
Make mine a Guinness. ^

While vodka would be fun, I think ex-TBer who has downed shots with me KNOWS I simply cannot hold my vodka (or tequila or port).
But I'll gladly take champagne and caviar as my "treat".
Arm-chair quarterbacking is SO much fun....

What was that phrase Groucho Marx used, about any club that would let him in as a member .............

There will be a meeting of the Israeli Chapter of the TalkBoard Members' Association in my home tonight.
All former TalkBoard members who live in Israel will be present.
