Your Favorite Moments from TAM7, That You Are Not Supposed to Talk About
I can honestly say, without very much qualification, that this was probably the Best TAM Ever!, in many regards!! Even if I were to leave out all of the things that I am not supposed to talk about, I can still declare that I had an absolutely fabulous time, throughout all of it!
The speakers were great, (even the ones that weren't last year); the activities were enthusiastically accomplished without a (visible) hitch; the venue was well-configured; meeting everyone at the various hang-outs was terrific; etc., etc. But, then there were those particular... moments... that I am simply not allowed to talk about, that I also enjoyed. I wish I could shout out all about them, from the top of the highest mountain, and stuff like that. But, alas, I am sworn to secrecy. You are not even supposed to know they ever occurred. So, what events at TAM7 did you enjoy, that you are not allowed to talk about? (Or, alternatively, you can talk about the moments you can talk about, as a placeholder for those you can't.) |

Hey Wowbagger,
Do your secret experiences have anything to do with that lovely young lady you were hanging out with at the Buffet?? She was a sweetie! |

Was Shemp there?....I was too busy fighting a sinus infection to do anything I couldn't talk about; I actually missed about 1/2 of the Friday & Saturday program because I felt like crapiola. I loved hearing Mr. Randi speak and pound the panel table for empahsis! |

You do know that if a certain event occurred, and you're sworn to secrecy, that it's also sort of a breach to declare the existence of this super secret event, even without specifying what it is?
OTOH, I'm glad for you that some wonderful, unspecified occurrence took place at TAM, even without knowing the details. I'd advise you all the same not to comment any further, if you really aren't supposed to talk about it for some reason. |

Some Skepchicks may or may not have been swimming topless at the Skepchick party. Others may or may not have been making out with each other.
I may or may not have pictures. |

All I'm saying is that it involved a lie about NECCO wafers.

Let's just say that I still hold the title of "First One Naked at the Party."
(Sorry Toby, beat you by about 90 minutes.) |

Now, I was going to suggest "The Party" as a good photo shoot site. Had a nice hardwood floor, just right for sitting in tatehiza. |

When I saw the Mentos in the hotel's shop, I wanted to create an homage to Mythbusters in the casino.
But Gilmar stopped me. |

There may or may not have been knee-high leather boots involved.

I have three dark chocolate Tim Tams hoarded in my refrigerator....
Not three BOXES, only three little tiny Tim Tam cookies. I need more! |

Curse you, hcmom, for mentioning them!!! I ate my last one just shortly before leaving for TAM.
I am not a milk chocolate fan, so I am just screwed since the darks aren't available here. I'm also not going to mention KingMerv letting me check the tip of his staff... |
