[split] Practicing techniques - Trash Talking

[subculture]

Sean,

You should pick on someone your size/level If you come to Ottawa for a tournament sometime soon, I promise to let you score at least 1 goal a game.

Hey, I didn't expect it'd be a lowly ROOKIE that would pick up the trash-talking for Ottawa!

I was actually hoping to make the next tournament... I've got a 6-week window of serious foosing b/w Jan 28th-March 15th as the family will be with in-laws in HK... unfortunately on the 10th, I'll be on the way to HK as well. If you guys set-up another tournament, heck, even a BIG DYP during that 6 week period, I'm there!!

Sean,

Well that's why I jumped in.

What about NY State or MI State? NY State is supposed to be sometime in January and MI State sometime in March.

Yeah, I'm planning on Maryland Feb 20-22, Michigan I think Mar 6-8th. Unfortunately I miss Ottawa and KY during those 2 weeks. When is NY State? I haven't found anything about dates....

I've never had a table (never had the space), play once a week if I'm very lucky, have "practiced" a total of maybe 3 hours in my entire life, and I'll STILL THRASH you the majority of the time!!

C'mon Sean!!! I'm pretty sure the countless hours playing at work qualify as table time! Albeit on a fabi table...

In other news:
"Hi!!!"
*redhead waves*

[Jon]

NY State will not be until at least April.

Well said, Paul.

[Paul]

Hey, there's my long-lost favourite red-headed fooser!! I'm looking fwd to seeing you on Saturday

Hey I never said I didn't have table time... I've had quite a lot over the years, on both Fabi and Tornado... I've never had opportunities to actually practice.. and on Fabi, I don't think ANYBODY actually practices - you actually need some kind of consistent surface/ball/degree of cleanliness/levelness to do that. Plus I think there's an Italian rule that if you see somebody practicing on a Fabi, you're obligated to punch them in the tenders and pour expresso on them.

Hey, I just found another tournament I can fit in my 6-week bachelorhood - Fort Worth Feb 6/8. Crappy money, but it'll be a work-related trip for me. Anybody interested in partnering with me? Got mileage points you can burn up for a weekend near Dallas?

Hey! If you can wrangle a trip to DFW under the guise of work - you'd be better off hitting up the Superstar Invitational February 20-22!! 30K -WWAAAAYYY better money than MD state - plus the format looks really cool.

I'll be there Saturday night for sure - I told H I only had one condition: I know its Olavo's birthday, but I am not tagging along to a strip club.

Rather - I want to win Beginner Singles in KY!!!!!! (...and AWS and AM and OM and Pro/AM and...) So I need a little assistance on the foosball front! Maybe I'll be able to take a game (or 3)off you this time .



fyi: i'm the one with the green lightsaber... note the little pieces of black shrapnel flying thru the air... your semi-retirement* has left you soft and vulnerable.**


*yeah... I went there
**Am I in the right place? This is the trash talking thread right?

[subculture]

Hahaha, you're trash talking is at least PRO caliber !

Hey, some chicks dig 'soft and vulnerable' And who said anything about a strip club for Saturday? There are no foosball tables there.. could you imagine how pissed the strippers would be if we all showed up, completely ignored them and just played foos?? You know it would happen.... however stripping at Olavo's basement is highly encouraged, unfortunately the only volunteers to date have been the Ottawa boyz who have been unable to win a match there (that would be virtually all of them).

I can only arrange DFW, b/c the previous week I'll be at a conference in musical Nashville.. so can get the company to cover the stopover on the way back, since it doesn't cost anymore. We're thinking Maryland on the 20-22 only b/c it's driveable (7 happy hours from TO) and thus cheap.
