What's made the Crab successful? I think in part is the obligation of the champion to pay for the following year's dinner. I am still savoring that Zanotti dinner in Bangkok. Thanks Norm and George. Also, I think that the same group of guys coming back year after year has played a role in the Crab's enduring values of friendship. And of course, the same cheap laughs.
For example:
Dave Ting’s not so private infatuation with Christina Kim, with whom he shares the same body image issues, and his secretive habit of keeping Burger King Whoppers in his golf bag for energy late in the round. And you all wonder why he farts a lot?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Norm and Cliff ask to share a single bed together. We wondered if Norm was hung like a horse or if he just got off one. We assumed the latter as poor Cliff complained of a sore back-side and couldn’t sit down for days. It did wonders for Norm in 2005 when he earned co-champion honors with George Chow, who had to make several long 5 and half-foot putts to earn the co-champion status, although Norm still refers to it as first runner-up.
Of course, there is James “Thaksin” Lin, the best dressed golfer on the course. James with his body hugging “JL” kit complete with “JL” belt buckle, looking like a fat middle aged gay guy (Note: "JL" does not stand for James Lin).
Speaking about jovial, Harry Hui has graciously lent his name, image and time (as well as the start-up money to buy the first trophy which the Singaporean bandits took and the second trophy which Harry insists made of crystal purchased from a shop in Shanghai) to this worthy championship that we all owe him a debt of gratitude. And for the record, Harry did in fact sit on a golf ball and asked if I could drive our shared golf cart as fast as possible over a speed bump, while he raised his arm to brace the canopy of the cart to increase the PSI (pounds per square inch) pressure.
