From Rakso's (Oscar TAN) new, Part XI Deck article:

"In fact, the next time I walked into the local store, I got a stern lecture from Freddie TAN about being sensitive to how much other players loved the card."

"The owner, Freddie Tan of Hobby Café in the Robinson's Galleria mall, looked like an Italian chef telling a diner he was out of pasta as he explained why I (and the two hundred people in the hall) wasn't getting a foil card."


Freddie Tan?

Relative or is just everybody called "Tan" there?

Is everything named "stupid" on the internet?


By Silver Dragon (Silverd) on Monday, February 04, 2002 - 05:56 pm:

I sure hope neither of you are serious (Spin13 and Anxiety). My comment was meant as a joke (note the little :) at the end?).

A lot of Chinese names are "Tan" although they are not necessarily written in the same way in the actual language.

We had 250 Tans in my high school/elementary school, not counting my brother and myself, and not counting people with "Tan" for a middle name. ;)

Hell, when I was a freshman in high school there was a Meyer in each grade and none of them were related. And when I did a student exchange program as a junior there was also a Meyer from German group.

Lemme guess... his first name was "wiener" too?


By Silver Dragon (Silverd) on Tuesday, February 05, 2002 - 07:43 am:

That would actually be "Oscar"!

Tan is a chinese surname. By the way Rasko, what is your chinese name?

@rakso:

@JP:strange, that thing about the meyers.
caus in most cases, they are spelt meier or mayer over here in austria and germany. actually i never met someone with the name meyer spelt that way.
und you have US high schools with meyers all around the place:)


By Raoul, Supposed Model of Courtesy (Raoul) on Saturday, February 16, 2002 - 03:31 am:

Believe it or not, not every Filipino has the surname "Tan". Or even a Chinese one for that matter. Granted, a lot do but most Filipino names are Hispanic or Malay in nature.
