What is the wierdest things fellow cubers say to you in tournaments?

[cubekid57]

I am just wondering what "famous cubers here from ohter fan cubers in tournaments.

Would this be a thread worth reviving? If not, ignore this. :/

All I think of at the moment is "I'm gonna go get me some KFC", thought that technically doesn't count.

'Where are you from, Sweden right?' ...

 

[IamWEB]

You mean they aren't all the same place? :O!

[Sa967St]

"Are you Emily?"

 

[cuberkid10]

"You're like, really fast!"

^^Thats what happens when you live in a state with like, 8 people sub-20

Anything Tim Major says.

"Did you really just kiss Joey on the lips?"

 

[irontwig]

"Hallå, jag är er i lärare i multileverlåda."

'Where are you from, Sweden right?' ...

Hehe, that reminds me of the swedish impression that Ton makes. He says like "öte, flöte, möte", and the funny thing is that the two last words are actually proper swedish.

flöte = float, bobber
möte = meeting


Also, it's very interesting to meet the finnish guys. Most of them learn a little swedish in school since swedish is a minority language over there. For example Anssi Vanhala came up to me and Tomas when we were scrambling at Helsinki Open and said "blanda hästsoppa varje dag" and we just bursted into laughter.

Literally it means "mix horse soup every day".

propably he was still going through his BLD memo...

This isn't really saying anything, but Bobby and I were doing Team BLD at River Hill. When I put on my blindfold, nobody was around, because they were off cubing. The time was only in the 30's I believe. After I took off my blindfold, there was a mass amount noobish cubers standing around our table. They were staring at me in an awkward manner. Kind of like, "wtf, how did you guys do that"

*shake hands with everyone at the competition*

 

[whauk]

so this is a "cuber say the darndest things" thread?

at a competition we did teambld and were not able to do sub1 for ~5 solves.
then it was PLL skip at 50 and i was like: "PLL skip!!! stop the timer!"
and he was like: "no youre kidding. that cant be true."
after a little discussion he finally believed me but... not sub1.

Your eeeddgggge paairrring is veeerrry faaast...

In that typical Russel petersish Indian accent. Check out my 4x4 solve vid from rcmo. You'll hear it there. It's hilarious!

 

[izovire]

5 things:

1. At Hong Kong open 2009: "Are you Erik?" (because I was the only white guy there)

2. At Taiwan Winter Open 2010 "Why are you here? Can you solve rubik's cube?" (I was the first white guy to compete in Taiwan)

3. At Oklahoma open the kid judging my 5x5 solves was laughing for no reason. (Are my colors 'that' bright?)

4. At Utah Summer 2010: "I thought you were Chinese!?!?" (just because I lived in Hong Kong)

5. At MOA a majority of the competitors called me "izovire" because they didn't know my name... at least my score cards didn't say izovire.

I called you Bradley because I wasn't sure if you were Isovire. : -p

"Are you Emily?"

For me it's "Are you Brittany/Stephanie/Ambie?" I guess all the female cubers are the same.

I also get "Do you remember me? You judged me at so-and-so competition." I've judged hundreds of solves. Sure, I remember you. I said "Eight seconds" to you, right?
