"Those who have provoked us will face unimaginable merciless punishment," the statement on the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, blaming Washington and Seoul for the latest turn of events. Wait a minute. I wonder if Dave and Robbie get this same guy to write their foosball postings? Just a thought... |

Here's a post from Robbie from April 25,2004... "hiu doubledipped the foosvampire . Not bad for a beginner. My 3bar started working after the tourny was over. " That's at least 4 years of a 3 bar that's as consistent as Pauls non compos mentis. If anyone can find an older thread about Robbies splendid 3, I will be your friend. It's time to wrap robbie! |

SORRY LONG POST… Jeff, You got me. I just spent an embarrassingly long time combing through some old emails. VFTalk Nov 2001 to Dec 2002 right before we switched to Saskfoos. Lotsa good discussions and cutting banter back then - it being private emails and all: *************************** FIRST CLIP (Advice) *************************** From: Richard Tench Subject: [foos] What Would You Change About Richard's Game? I'm off to Austin next month, and am looking for ways to improve my game. Not too many ways, mind you - I don't want to totally deconstruct my game and not be able to reassemble it in time.... If I could only change ONE aspect of my game to make it better, what would it be? (If someone else already posted the one you would change, pick another aspect!) Any help would be greatly appreciated! From: Robert Shin Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 First of all I would take a bucket of loonies and ask Rob Shin if he would bless you with some matches. Legend has it that his foosball style has been known to make grown men cry like little girls that scraped their knees when they fell off their tricycles. Once you have learned to beat him consitently, you will be ready to play him and Mitch in some money matches. This will not only put hair on your chest,under your armpits and acne on your face, it will also deepen your voice. Don't let Rob's raw , animalistic foosball style intimidate you. His confidence is often confused with arrogance, but believe me he is very aproachable and mellow. Don't let his ferocious executionary style of flawless play intimidate you, after all he is human just like me and you. Enough about me, let's talk about you. What do you think about me?. Where was I , oh yeah, advice on how to improve your game. Your game In all honesty, is actually pretty good. All you need is a nice rollover to compliment your slow push kick. From: Tim Dudra If you, or anyone, want to win more, take up Golf. In golf you only have to beat yourself and you're already carrying a bag of clubs. From: Roger Martin Tim can be your caddie......baggage carrying baggage......someone should make that a poster :) ***************************************** SECOND CLIP (The More Things Change…) ***************************************** From: Robert Shin Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2002 Subject: [foos] How do these points work? Dear foosball council, In the last three tournaments, I have placed 1st,3rd,and3rd.When I went to the website to check my stats , not that I'm complaining or anything like that , it said that I'm now minus 100 or more points.Imagine my horror. what kind of system desecrates the gifted and glorifies the mediocre?This blasphemy has offended the Shaolin Temple and the monks will begin their hunger strike until justice is restored. From: Tim Dudra Rob: The point system, unlike the tournament itself, does an excellent job of recognizing inability. Therefore, despite your victories, your points have fallen as they should. From: Troy Sobotka First, third, and third would only count if you last sixty-eight efforts were not last, last, last, last, last, last, last, etc. I am sure you get the picture. Love you Robbie… From: Robert Shin As long as the calculations are correct and consistent, I'll be happy, cause the cream always rises to the top while the scum ,which weighs about the same as a turd will surley sink to the bottom of the barrel. From: Tim Dudra Surley sink? Is this a sort of difficult, disagreeable kind of sink? Why would anyone install such a sink? When did sinks get personalities? I know my sink has a personality but I generally don't mention it in public in case people think I am insane. ********* END ********* |
