Blog Entry$73,000 Foosball TableSep 14, '05 2:51 PM
for everyone
Please, nobody ask me what I'd like for my birthday this year. Just surprise me. If a couple of you need to go in together, I'll understand.

From the http://elevenforty.com web-site (which you need to check out) :

...Harnessing th latest in computer-aided design technology, each table is hand-crafted in etched glass, stainless steel, and a choice of stunning woods....Every table is constructed to order, so no two are alike. Our sophisticated and patent-pending Doppelganger technology enables us to micro-cast 3-D heads from photographs, bringing lifelike realism to the faces of the friends and family you want in your dream teams...

Hmmm...I've always thought about what foosball table I'd buy, but I've never given thought to who I would have the foos-guys look like. I'd probably start with those in my personal foosball hall-of-fame, which come to think of it, I've never given thought to either. How about, for starters, I'd send a photo of my Dad, my cousin Scott, and Pez...the only people I know that I recall losing to. Maybe one for Uncle Eddie who's got the fastest slide shot I've ever seen. I'll put Jay Stevens head on one of the defenders in honor of his tenacious D. I'd throw Mr. Connoly's likeness on one of the men in thanks for teaching me about foosball sportsmanship ("Don't tell a brother you're going to bagel him.") Of course, no customized foosball table would be complete without a foosman honoring Big Guy for his infamous 800 MPH gangly-wrist-wrap-around shot that's literally only stoppable by tackling him and breaking his arm.

So, if you got this foosball table as a gift, whose faces would you put on the men?

Such an American attitude ! Of course the faces should be of the real life football (trasnslation soccer) player that is on your dream team and that you visualize while playing football.

This may be better than a Porsche.

I knew I could count on you to find that picture again...does that come with a touch of gray hair at the sides and a slightly larger midsection? I may be able to save some of the cost of customizing a table...

Sorry but I'm going to take the car (a pimped out Ranger Rover Supercharged)...

Sure...for $3300. I'm thinking of offering to put anyone's picture on a foos guy (girl) if they send me $3300.

Maybe you could get a corporate sponsorship. For example: the Coca-Cola Foosball Arena.
