Table Tennis

Ping pong is great. I loved playing it, and want to get a table for my basement, too.

Ping pong is great. We've got a couple tables at work & I'll play at lunchtime.

Make sure to get yourself a nice paddle, it makes a world of difference & is well worth the thirty or so bucks.

I have a tendency to go McEnroe on my paddle when it doesn't cooperate.

Oh I'll destroy the paddle if I lose. It's pretty much designed for getting out frustration. I'm a bad sport, always have been. I'll flip the Monopoly board, break a pool cue, or smash a ping pong paddle. Just fair warning before you invite me over luke.

Everything will be fine if I win.

And now for something totally different....

I played constantly from when I was little through college and I have a 1st place trophy from a camp tournament, so obviously I'd kill you all.

Recently I played and it was incredibly frustrating. If you don't play for a few years it seems like every offensive shot that used to be automatic ends up about two inches off the table.

youtube highlight videos are one of my favorite things. The end of this first point is just disgusting (in slo-mo at :38):

ETA: HOLY [expletive] the shot at 5:27

Took one of the sides of the table and put it up against the wall and added the net. Great for solo games when no one is around.
