AUGHH! I can't come up with a subject for my speech for class.

[LaraMN]

It's an informative speech. So far I've come up with, "selecting the best gluteal implants," "donating eggs to fund college expenses," and other miscellaneous subjects, but then this pesky "focus on an area of your personal expertise" stipulation screws EVERYTHING up!

I'm not an expert on anything amusing. I hate choosing a subject matter for these things.
Oh, and I spent three hours today doing worksheets I came to realize I wasn't even supposed to do.

Someone knock me unconscious with my "Public Speaking- a Developmental Guide" book.

:crazy: :cry: :crazy:

1. Well, what are you an expert on...

you could do boots, couldn't you? :D

[LaraMN]

2. Yeah, I thought of boots. It's just too pathetic.

Even for me...

[ZombieNixon]

4. So what are you an expert on *other* than boots?

:shrug:

Edited to make it clearer that I don't think you have no skills. :D

[sarge43]

11. Why?

How boots are made

Boot fashions in 20th century

Specialty boots, snow, work, combat, hiking, etc

[DS1]

3. My informative speech was against the war on drugs

I brought in a bible, read from Genesis, pounded the bible for a bit, talked about how GOD-DAH put those lovely green plants on earth for us to have dominion over, and then went on to how Republicans can suck ass.

Did well in that class.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Do an informative speech about the importance of reading one's assignments

so that you don't do work you don't need to do, and use your current experience as an example.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. But, let me also say, it's pure bullshit that you aren't an expert

on something.

For God's sake, think woman - you are an expert in probably a shitload of things -- making the perfect bowl of cereal, vacuuming, using the library computer system, how to pick a presidential candidate to vote for, cooking macaroni and cheese, flipping a coin, deciding on what TV show to watch, taking a walk...

For fuck's sake, you're an expert in shitloads of things.

[LaraMN]

Today, unfortunately, I'm an expert on being unable to think coherently.

Therein lies my quandary.

[Sugar Smack]

7. Ouija Boards!!

I got an award on a speech on Ouija Boards, once!! :D

[yvr girl]

8. Online flirting

:shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. I did my informative speech on dust mites

By the time I was done, every one in the class, besides having lifted their feet off the carpeting, were also laughing, a bit horrified, and definitely better informed. :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Taking a cue from ZombieNixon

How about "The Care and Feeding of Smilies in Internet Posts"?

:7 :hippie: :think: :freak: :beer: :hi:

[hippywife]

12. How about the

joys and challenges of raising a child with Down's Syndrome? You have so much love and patience for your children, you must surely have some expertise in that area.

[leftofthedial]

13. these boots are made for walking

[SOteric]

14. How 'bout on participating in internet message board communities?

:hi:

[khashka]

15. I did mine on "Body Peircing For Fun And Profit"

It actually went over very well :)

You could always try " Why I can not do this assignment".

Good luck :)

Khash.
