I'm awesome at ping pong and would easily beat everyone on this board and most other people also.

I hold a ping pong paddle between my middle and ring fingers like the hard core asian ping pong pros do

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.

can i be the ref? like most refs in sports, were pretty decent at the sport they ref, but never were good enough to do it big. Can I....Can I?!?

nah, I love ping pong. Me and one of my buddies used to play almost every day a couple summers ago. but now i have no one to play with. I'm a little rusty now.

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.

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

I once played a guy who only called it "table tennis". I skunked him 3 times in a row.

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'.

Is this some kind of game I can play while drinking copious amounts of beer before I drive?

My bros and I call it Wick Wack.

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.

Anyone ever play Pickle Ball(like tennis with indoor/smaller court and wood paddles)? My gym teacher swore that it would be the next Olympic sport. Used to own that crap.
