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.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

I don’t know about giving those hammers away — looks like he’s bonded with them LOL.
yeh, i think he loves them too much
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!
There are some additional John Chow Computex Hammer pictures @ http://www.phoronix.com/blogs/david/index.php?k=blog&i=30.
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!
LOL
Darin
Haha! Didn’t really know that inflatable hammers and tech conventions went hand in hand.
