My aunt and her partner are both former college tennis players and coaches and have gotten really into ping pong lately. They just built a new house with a rec room devoted to ping pong - full bar, flat screen TV and two fridges. I went to visit a few weeks ago and we basically didn't leave that room for two days.

We also had a table in the garage in college and played most nights. I miss the [expletive] out of it. I don't really care about having a big place to live, but enough room for ping pong and pool would be sweet. A friend of mine just bought a giant space that he's going to try and convert to a residential loft for him and a couple of roommates and I'm moving immediately if it ever actually happens. Table tennis, pool, and a full size basketball hoop. That's the dream.

I got suckered into helping a friend put a pool table into his loft once, that sucked.

I used to work at a place that had a ping pong table. Everyone loved it.

We have one in an adjacent building in our fitness center here but its just a bit too far to trek over there and back. You'd easily kill an hour.

I'm glad none of you people work in the public sector. Could you imagine the outrage if gubmint employees were playing ping pong on the taxpayer's dime?

Our office did the same...we've had tables for a couple years now. It's a great way to get away from your desk on breaks & be halfway active. I eventually had to go out and buy my own paddle because the ones the supplied were garbage. If you haven't done that yet, it's a must.

It was a route. I beat my opponent 2 sets to none. Survive and advance.
