I challenge you to a dual sir.

I lived in Chase apartments my freshman year and we decided to use the majority of our living room space for a ping pong table.  One of the best decisions of my life.  Got a nice paddle and proceeded to dominate everyone like I was a straight up Chinaman.

I actually haven't played for a while, but I need to find some space to put a table in my house.

Is there anywhere to play in town other than the rec?  I feel like your bluffing.  Just in case your not, I'll need 1 month to train Rocky-style in Soviet Russia.

Think we've talked about this before guys, but just to remind, I play a game to which you are not familiar.   Any chance even one of you has ever served a legal serve?  That's what I thought.   :nono:

Real players like me only call it table tennis.  You rubes that call it "ping pong" are totally clueless.   :lol:

Let's cut the crap here.  Just because you can beat some of your loser friends in their parents' basement doesn't mean you can hold a candle to a real player.  Just sayin'.   :comeatme:

I have served a legal serve but prefer the illegal when the opposition doesn't know the difference.

People that serve illegally and don't know it have obviously never played in a sanctioned tournament, and those people never worry me because I know I can thrash them regardless of the small advantage they may get with their serve. 

Another thing, if you don't have a USATT rating and play in sanctioned tournaments, it means you suck and could never beat me.  I would bet any amount of money on it.  Serious.

Sanctioned tournaments are for pussies who work really hard trying to be good at ping pong. I'm a natural. It's like you're the senior drummer on drumline who has worked really hard to be a good drummer and have a high drummer rating and you have a lot of friends who look up to you and talk about how great at drumming you are and then I come in after not having picked up a drum in months and skunk you in drumming with your girlfriend watching but in the end we learn to respect each other despite our differences and team up to take down a hated rival drumming team in a very heated drum match.
