Well, Guzzlers from Geckos took us down tonight 21-16. I guess you’d call that a spanking. I managed a 7-5 showing, but it coulda, shoulda been 10-2. Well, that’s the way the dart flies sometimes.
Let me introduce you to the Blue Bulls from Bless U PUb:
L to R: Scott, Seung Youb, Koichi, Yours Truly, and Ali.
We win, we lose, we have fun. That’s what it’s all about.
Lessee, John,
You seem to have an ordinary American, a geezer American, a Japanese guy, a Korean guy and an Arab?
Pretty unusual mix, seems….. no offense intended.
Please clarify who these guys are, if you get time.
And happy darting.
Whatever else is going on and whoever they are……… you seem to be having a great time…….that, and still getting pretty good use out of your new camera…..
Good to see ur trying to keep it going.
All the best,
Dentoku
Close guess, Dennis! I’ll cop to being the geezer American, but Scott is Canadian. Ali I believe is originally from Pakistan.
Yes, I do enjoy my life in Korea. I’m in my comfort zone here, more or less.
Someone called me an “ordinary American”? Ah what the hell…I guess after 10 years of having little kids in Korea run past me yelling “Miguk Saram!” I am used to it.
After seeing Ali’s tats, I’m off to get sleeves tattooed on my arms so it looks like I have robot arms. In the future, when someone looks at a photo of me, all I want to hear is, “that is one hell of a robot.”
Good point, that, VJ.
A note of interest. When I was assigned to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Security Policy, PSYOP Directorate, I used to visit Panama (USSOUTHCOM back then) the PSYOP schools at Ft Bragg, and Hurlburt to the Spec Ops schools to give presentations on what we were trying to do at OSD/PSYOP and try to explain ‘OSD Policy’. The Panama and Ft Bragg trips were ones I particularly enjoyed because sometimes I would be presenting to Latin American troops from various locales of South and Central America who were attending schools there. These mostly younger enlisted troops were always fluent in English but, even so, a simultaneous Spanish translator was always provided, which had an interesting effect on the tempo of the presentation. And, though I’d like to think I spoke clearly enough to not need the x-lator,…..in retrospect, maybe not….
But more to the point of this comment, a Colonel friend of mine in the Pentagon had earlier been an “area specialist’ for Belize in the JCS and he told me that he had learned that the South and Central American’s were often a little perplexed that the Norte Americano’s (US) seemed to be of the mind set that the only real ‘Americans’ were the ones from the US, when in fact by simple definition, all South American’s, Central American’s and Canadians too were American’s by simple definition. So I guess I we can conclude that Canadians are really ‘American’s’ too, whether they care to be included in the definition of ‘ordinary American’ or not (probably mostly not). In any case, since then I’ve been a bit sensitized to that point though I wasn’t expecting a Canadian to be in the mix above, and used care back then when addressing those groups to avoid the ‘Gringo faux pas’.
Never mind. Just another mostly unnecessary and mostly unimportant point of interest.
Regards to all,
Dennis
