Well, folks, it seems that all the people before me have had quite serious speeches. To avoid breaking with that theme, I will also give a very serious speech on a very important issue. The quote I received says something about how you should never be too old to play (I forget the exact quote). I take this to mean that you should always be able to play full contact sports such as rugby when you are well past the age of 100. But how is this possible? As we should all know, there are two key things involved with keeping in shape. The first is eating the right food, and the second is exercise. I'll deal with the first mentioned now. Obviously, it is very important to be sure that we're eating the right food. It must be low-fat, and nutritious so that we can stay healthy for decades to come. But how can we be sure that the food we eat is low in fat? How can we insure that we are getting all the nutrition we need? There is only thing that can make sure the food we ate is slim, trim and totally nutritious. And that is the GEORGE FOREMAN LOW-FAT GRILL! Only this product can successfully strip fat from food to give you the healthiest meals possible. Plus, it was invented by George Foreman. Some of you may remember him as a famous boxer. He also was in some sitcom briefly, but it sucked so they took it off the air. And...blah, blah, blah, blahblahblah.
This quote is not actually from Birdman, which is a break from the usual around here. However, I'm sure George Foreman could defeat Birdman, using his grill in some devious fashion, even though that wasn't enough to defeat an Iron Chef. Then again, what is? (It's true! One of the challengers on Iron Chef looked very much like George Foreman! He even used a grill! It could've been him in disguise...) Anyway, returning to the topic at hand, this quote arose during a speech I made at a speaking competition. The premise was this: each person was given a quote from a movie and then had to make a five minute speech out of that quote. I can't remember my whole speech, but what I do recall will be placed below.
You get the idea, I'm sure. I don't really remember what came after that, and consider myself lucky to even remember the first part. I especially enjoyed my lead up to the introduction of the grill. I'm sure it was even better when you didn't know it was coming. Anyway, good ol' George did quite well and pulled me through to the finals of the competition, although he didn't win despite the fact I said he would erase the whole U.S. recession by selling zillions of grills and accompanying bibs to Mexico.
