Less Than Jake, "Conviction Notice" from GNV FLA (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: Yesterday, as I stood in the corridor awaiting my turn to compete in the Impromptu speaking finals at the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League (M.I.S.L.) State Championships, "Conviction Notice" came to mind, discernibly apropos of nothing, and I paced up and down the hallway singing quietly:
"Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can pay the rent!"
I desired to work those words into my speech, which, as the name Impromptu suggests, is devised "on the spot," but could find no opening. Instead, I delivered by my own estimation a highly satisfactory speech and, in only my third weekend in competition against seasoned forensics speakers with years of training and experience under their belts, was adjudged the third best Impromptu speaker in the State of Michigan. Woot!

As a separate issue, Brenda, would you like your Secret Base codename to be "California Dreamer"? I threw that out once, randomly, as a sidelong reference to your "Dreamland…" blog, but since you seem to have taken a shine to it I'll happily make it your official nom de T.S.B.O.T.R.B.D.S. Lemme know.
Also, where are my manners? Thank you both.
You're quite welcome. It's great news and you should be proud of yourself.
And what an honor to come home from out of town and find I have an official codename here.
My ongoing endeavor will be, through word and deed, to demonstrate that a dreamer can also be a doer.
Woo hoo! Thank you.
