Der_Echte may end up in Korea this Fall

[Der Echte]

Looks like I am going to get assigned to Korea this fall/late summer. Good on several fronts. I have been in Oklahoma for way too long and make too many trips to dusty/insanely hot environments, Wife is sick of this boondocks. Gotta drive forever to do any TT. no chance to really train. Blah Blah Blah.

Looks like I will be right smack dab in Seoul, the capital, which is as large as NYC. Since I speak Korean, I expect to get along with the Koreans, who should have plenty of good TT there. Looks like it will shape up pretty good.

I just hope the next major world war won't happen there. That would ruin the fun some.

[speedplay]

Korea should be able to provide some good training for you, spend a couple of years there, practice hard and you might be able to grab the occasional game from me ;)

Now, what if I start up a al-Qaeda section here in good ol' Sweden, is there any chance you will get here? Could be fun to meet up with you and teach you a thing or two about the game :D

Speedplay dont be greedy - I asked Der_Etche first. He's comming to Australia First, where I will traine him in the fine art of beating ANTI Players.  :o

[Der Echte]

I remember saying somewhere that Korea is significantly closer to OZ and NZ than Oklahoma is. That should significantly increase the possibility of visiting OZ/NZ. I think I have more OZ/NZ forum friends than US ones. Rob's place is a no brainer for a visit if I ever get air dropped onto the continent.

Having said all that, Speedplay and I have had a TT fued that we have been hyping up for nearly three years that will culminate whenever I buy a Volvo and pick it up from the factory several hours from where he lives.

My biggest concern right now is selling our house. If that task is completed in a timely manner, the rest will fall into place no problem.

I can dream about how TT training can work out over there. It sure looks promising. I know I can make a pile of friends over there in a hurry. I already have a number of TT froum friends there.

[speedplay]

Yes, when it comes to being first to ask Der_Echte for a visit, I doubt I will be beaten as this have been an ongoing theme for the two of us since we first ran into each other at DTTW. :)

Rob, I might PM Supachop and ask him to use anti, then I will ask you to show me how to beat anti players ;) It's never as easy as beating the material, it is all about beating the guy who uses the material.

[RebornTTEvnglist]

Der, if you end up falling into Oz, then Rob's place best not be your only destination lol. Although if it was it'd be about time I made the trip to see Rob's place (especially his TT room lol). Mind you I probably should try to do this anyway soon to give Rob a hit, and try to get Purger over there as well. Whatever happened to the BBQ you were going to host Rob? LOL

[Der Echte]

If I ever make it to OZ, I would get bounced around like a ping pong ball seeing everyone and their clubs.

If I ever make it to Sweden to buy a Volvo from the factory, I will play Speedplay for his favorite Wavestone vs my Wavestone.  8)

[Der Echte]

Would be cool to visit Rob & Affordable forum crew before leading the Viking raid on Speedplay's Wavestone(s).

That one (the "(s)" ) is kinda like...
"How did the deaf woman burn her left Ear?" Someone called and she answered the Iron!"
"How did she burn the other one?" "The bastard called back again."

as in Speedplay might request another Wavestone match. I could always give him my Volvo C30 keychain to comfort him.

Yep. that should get a responce from ole Speedplay.

[pingpongrob]

Whatever happened to the BBQ you were going to host Rob? LOL

You are welcome to organise it for one Sunday at my place. Make sure everyone's invited - We will get the video out and post some of the matches. I'll even get a trophy made up. Maybe we can do this once a year, We will need have to figure out the Trophy Name.

[speedplay]

Der_Echte, even if I feel confident that I would beat you (and probably every one else around ;)) I wouldn't want to bet my Wavestone in it, that would almost be like betting one of my children on it and I'm not that bold.

As for the Volvo keychain, keep it, I've never been a fan of Volvo, even though we currently have one :(

The only Swedish car I would be happy to own is the Koeningsegg, how ever, seeing the price tag on that best makes it highly unlikely I will ever get to own one...

*Idea*

I bet my Wavestone and you bet me a brand new Koeningsegg? 8)

Rob.  How does this compare the the GTI ?

Performance

00-100 km/h (0-62 mp/h) 3.0 seconds
0-200 km/h 9.05 sec
0-200-0 km/h 13.85 sec
Top Speed: 400+ km/h (250+ mph) (without rear wing)
Braking distance: 32m (100-0 km/h)
Lateral G-force: 1.5 G

[RebornTTEvnglist]

So you're saying it's a Jet then Supachop huh?  8)

Ok Rob, I will put the word out and see how we go for a suitable date. Shall I tell everyone you're supplying everything, so no BYO? haha. Actually with the distance to drive, probably be no alcohol involved lol.

At this point invitees would be: Mars (+1-3), GP (+1), Niteowl (+1 1/2), Purger, Supachop, Wiz, Hugo and me. That's about a dozen players including your clan, we could make a fair tourney out of that lol.  How's that all sound?

[pingpongrob]

I'm happy to supply everything. Go Ahead and make plans  :D

[Der Echte]

Speedplay, send over your corperate jet and I'll bring an A4 sized photo of your Koeningsegg.

[RebornTTEvnglist]

I'm happy to supply everything. Go Ahead and make plans  :D

Expressions of Interest have gone out as you will see Rob.

I think we could call the event:

Forum TT of Melbourne Annual Sunbury Tournament Event Reunion Sojourn or:

Forum TT MASTERS for short LOL.

How's that sound?

[speedplay]

Now, that is a beauty and if Der_Echte bets one of those, I would be happy to put my Wavestone on the line :D

Sound Good - I will order the Trophy once its all organised.

[Der Echte]

The wife is real concerned about selling the house in time.

Who wants some future beachfront property in Oklahoma?

California may have an earthquake real soon and fall off into the ocean with Arizona and New Mexico.

[Der Echte]

No takers? Well, I will liquidate the property one way or another and would seriously like to visit OZ one day. Maybe I get a vacation in  year and give the land down under a go-through. make sure you guys have lots of towels, I sweat buckets and will probably dissolve the coating on ur floors. Speedplay, looks like will ship the Volvo C-30 to Korea, so I cannot give you the keychain.  :'(

However, I am still open to purchasing a Volvo wagon V70 or V70XC from the factory as I think they still ship to Korea. So there is still a small chance that you will not have to drive your mazda 626 James Bond style under two oceans to get to OZ to meetup with me. Anyway, I don't think there are many petrol stations on the way.

[Der Echte]

The Korean TT community has fair warning of my coming and has welcomed me warmly. Now the problem is that I might not end up working or living in Seoul. You kinda have to make a big bribe payoff to get there and I don't have that kind of money laying around.

Then change your plans and come to Australia - I hear were pretty cheap.  :o

[Der Echte]

I've had the relatively short end of it throughout my carreer, but I made the most of it and this time probably won't be any different. Still a lot of good possibilities.

[RebornTTEvnglist]

Come and live in our Melbourne suburb of Springvale. You wouldn't know you weren't in any Asian city if you don't stray too far from the business district there. And there is a good TT training place (so I'm told, haven't actually been) there and not too far from Dandy where I play either!  ;)

[Der Echte]

Yes, but how would the Australian Feminine hygene sector react to me revolutionizing their industry and foircing them to their knees?

[RebornTTEvnglist]

Hmmm, there's a delicate answer and an indelicate answer to that Der. Delicately, I'm sure many woman would LOVE your face all over their feminine hygiene products!  :o ;) Indelicately, I can't put on the forum LOL.

[Der Echte]

You guessed the marketing plan right. Normally, only an attractive female on the packaging causes males to buy products they do not need, but never would a stud guy's pic on the packaging cause a woman to buy even something she needs. I will change all that. Speedplay, Rob and Reb will be the models on the packaging. You will have to ask how we will re-engineer a prominant F.H. product to modernixe it and revolutionize the entire industry, thus bringing ti to its knees. Imagine how many millions will look at our models' pic on the packaging, which would also increase the exposure to competitive TT and retail TT equipment sales.

[RebornTTEvnglist]

Yeah could even design a string of TT blades and rubbers shaped to fit all with little wings and the torpedo shaped handle could have a little string to wrap around your wrist so you don't let go of the bat, not that you would need it as the handle wouold be super-absorbent!!  8)

[Der Echte]

Nah, ur not getting it. When your mobile phone has a call and you are not in ring mode due to business meeting or whatever, how does it let you know you have a call? They use a vibration alert. So, when you consider how to alert the user of the feminine hygene product when it needs replacing, you could also use an integrated vibration alert. No one has yet to tap this potential. Users would pay a heavy premium for a product with this alert and the possibilities for licencing the technology has much potential. Think, everyone could see a buff Reb on the box and take care of their needs.

[RebornTTEvnglist]

Now I think you might have a product flaw there Der. My experience of women tells me they rarely want something arousing at a time they are dealing with bodily disruptions. So the marketing plan may need some revisitation. Perhaps some indepth market research is required to "fine-tune" the product acceptability so that it doesn't end up with something that many males are very familiar with and females are experts at handing out...rejection! ;)
