Computex 2007 - A Whacking Good Time
written by John Chow

Thermaltake made the mistake of giving us air hammers during our booth visit. What started off as a nice formal business meeting turned into a whacking good time as out of the blue, I would whack Stephen fung on the head while he was asking a serious question.
We had a great time walking the show floor and spontaneously whacking people over the head. Most people laugh when they got whacked - lucky for me. The hammer does a good job at scaring booth babes. Most would cover their heads and scream.
Everything was going great until I came across some MSI booth babes with their own hammers. The picture below shows two girls with hammers, but there were really four so I was severely outnumbered. Can you imagine getting into a hammer fight with four girls?

During the meeting with MSI, the PR rep gave us all MSI hammers. I thank the MSI rep by whacking her over the head with it. Here’s a video of how a hammer fight normally breaks out.

i like the two girls!

“Booth Babes” I never knew that someone had coined the phrase. Very funny. . . .
How the heck can you function with that hammer. I would be smacking people as a way of introducing myself to them. . . .
Very fun way to keep busy that’s for sure
In Asia, they’re call Show Girls. However, in North America, we use term Booth Babes.
Gotta have some rules for this game! Like who hits first buys the drinks later!
Or no double hitting!

“Can you imagine getting into a hammer fight with four girls?”
They should have been giving away pillows… Can you imagine how many people would have had their fantasies fulfilled the very moment the fight broke out?
Nice booth babes!

Lol the video is so funny! Who was videotaping?
I’d take a hammer and pound the next person I see, too. Looks like you guys are enjoying yourselves a lot over there. Keep those pictures and video coming, John!
I should probably start going to this kind of stuff just for the women.
Did you feel less manly because your hammer was smaller than the show girl?
haha is that Jason hitting you?
Thank god those were not real hammers … you would have had a really bad headache!

[...] One of the coolest/funniest thing that breaks out at Computex every year are the booth babe duels. For whatever reasons, many companies schedule their product demos at the same time as the next booth. This results in two or more demo teams trying to out talk each other. It’s really funn
