Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Galmort on February 06, 2004, 04:17:16 AM Alrighty dudes. i get to go play ping pong for the last 2 hours of the school day tomorrow. What does everybody else think of this miniature version of tennis?
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: SS on February 06, 2004, 04:21:50 AM Table Tennis is excellent. :cool:
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: evilknight on February 06, 2004, 04:38:47 AM yeah, that game rocks. there r few things more pressing than trying 2 keep an undefeated streak in table tennis/ping pong. i got one the best workouts i had had in a while when i had 2 defend my undefeated streak for 2 hours against all my friends, most of whom i ended up playing twice
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Perdition on February 06, 2004, 07:23:50 AM good stuff. I think I'll break out the ping pong table tomarrow and goof around with it :) thats an awesome game.
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: mole on February 06, 2004, 11:19:08 AM its fun when your in a small room cus it turns into squash table tennis but i suck at it
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Lord Lanair on February 06, 2004, 12:34:21 PM Mmmmm... I love ping-pong. My only problem is that my cat sat on the net too many times, so now I'm used to playing with a really low net. LOL
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Perdition on February 06, 2004, 03:08:54 PM squash table tennis? in american please.
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: evilknight on February 06, 2004, 04:00:00 PM i think that's kinda like raquetball, but im not sure
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: SS on February 06, 2004, 05:23:18 PM squash = Squash, a sport similar to tennis, but with both players on the same side, hitting against a wall rather than over a net. I think the racquets are more badminton-style, not sure about the balls.
table tennis = Table Tennis, a reduced yet relatively dissimilar version of Tennis, played on a table. Scoring goes in single units upto 21, rather than upto 4, in weird multiples. The bats are small padden wooden items, the balls are light air-filled plastic. Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Perdition on February 06, 2004, 05:24:56 PM oh yeah ok. yeah thats fun stuff.
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: RipperRoo on February 06, 2004, 05:31:26 PM Squash rackets differ greatly from badminton ones...
And the balls are small squidgy black balls.

Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: SS on February 07, 2004, 01:20:36 AM That's probably the stupid USian name for it.
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Galmort on February 07, 2004, 03:57:35 AM well. i've heard of squash too though. just don't know what the heck its about.
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Perdition on February 07, 2004, 04:23:59 AM racketball is often code for sex too :P
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Galmort on February 07, 2004, 04:27:25 AM well i'll take your word for it :miffed:
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: underruler on February 07, 2004, 05:11:47 AM Quote racketball is often code for sex too :P In that case raquetball is the best...Table tennis is much better than regular tennis...less running ya noe. Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Lord Lanair on February 07, 2004, 05:50:14 AM Table tennis and ping-pong are almost the same thing- smaller versions of "normal" tennis. :P
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: underruler on February 07, 2004, 05:59:36 AM I know that...I'm so confused on why you posted that...
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Lord Lanair on February 07, 2004, 06:16:50 AM I got confused by the connection between racketball and sex, so I was trying to clear my mind. ;)
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: opperdude on February 07, 2004, 12:24:19 PM me gots a table tennis table in the garden :)
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Galmort on February 07, 2004, 05:43:58 PM Quote Table tennis and ping-pong are almost the same thing- smaller versions of "normal" tennis. :P not almost. they are the same thing. Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: SS on February 07, 2004, 05:58:38 PM Actually, they're not. There are subtle differences between the two.
I can't remember what the differences are, but they are there. Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Galmort on February 07, 2004, 06:09:05 PM http://www.usatt.org/articles/history/hist...toryintro.shtml (http://www.usatt.org/articles/history/historyintro.shtml)
i didn't read it all, sort of just skimmed. I guess you're right, but it is extremely subtle, just that tt is the sport and pp is the game. or something like that. just givin the url for anyone who's interested Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: SS on February 07, 2004, 06:25:00 PM Yeah, that sounds about right.
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Lord Lanair on February 08, 2004, 01:14:54 AM All I can say is that ping-pong is a very fun game. :D

Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: ns33 on February 14, 2004, 06:30:04 AM I havent played ping pong in years. I remember when I was 6 years old, I won the provincal championship game. :o I still have a photograph of me, barely 5 feet tall, with a medal hanging down to my knees with all these old people behind me. LOL
Title: Ping Pong/Table Tennis Post by: Perdition on February 14, 2004, 06:34:08 AM wait you were 5ft tall when you were 6? damn thats a tall little kid.
