Or at least I hope so. Yes, ladies and gentlemen it is once again opening night in the Seoul International Dart League.
I begin the summer season with a new team, the Rubbies. I don’t know the origin of the name, but in one form or another the Rubbies have been an Itaewon institution for more than a decade. This season also marks the return to my bar “home” at Dolce Vita. I’m also playing with a good group of guys I know well, respect as darters and am comfortable playing with. My mates are Tom Randolph, Dave New, Dan Orrico, and Rod Rodriguez.
I’ve still got a slight case of new team and opening night jitters, but I expect I will play through it and do fine. Power of positive thinking and all that. We open against Shooters, a new team in “A” division, playing out of Blue Frog.
Like it or not, you can expect to see an account of tonight’s action here at LTG. Look for it!
Break a leg, John.
And please clarify the pronunciation of Rubbies.
Is it rub as in rubbing somebody out…… or it is it the u, as in ruby?
The first would seem to be a good choice if in fact the goal is to rub out your opponents…. or the second if the members are all gems as darters.
Interestingly the Rubbie’s word in spell check comes back corrected as Rubie’s, which means it’s probably a made up word, which you already knew anyway.
