OK, from my Toastmasters experiences (DTM, senior executive, etc), here's
some feedback...

Find out how much time you have, and rehearse them in front of someone
with a stopwatch and time cards (in TM, green means OK so far i.e. past
the minimum time, yellow means start winding down, red means sit down,
because in TM contests you are disqualified if you get the red). You'll
find that people have no idea for how long they can talk, once they get
carried away...
> Ninja Greg does music (have to do this one, I have pictures).
Agreed (and being a muso I'd like to see those pix myself).
> Ninja Greg bitch slaps the government with Larry
Possibly not... More about you than Greg.
> Ninja Greg takes Larry to the NSA, Larry ends up staring at pissed Marines
Ditto...
> Ninja Greg gets Larry a wife
Keep it if there's time i.e. run it last. A short presentation is more
memorable than a long one.
> Happy Greg lifts a log (have to do this one, I have pictures)
Definitely (I saw the pix).
