I'm talking about Pong of the Ping variety....yes, the timeless game known as Ping Pong
It rolls right off the tongue...I might name my first child Ping Pong (probably not)
I would rate my skills at Ping Pong as moderately terrible to ultra-awesome (what?)
I shall explain...(I never use the word shall)
If I am playing a cat or an old woman with an eye patch and a hook for a hand then I might be what you'd consider ultra-awesome
Now, if I was playing this guy, this guy, this guy, or even this guy then I would look like a terrible excuse for a Ping Pong player.
Really the question everybody wants to know first and foremost is...
How did Ping Pong start you ask? (nobody is asking)
Well....
*UPDATE*
I just looked up the history of Ping Pong (I'm cool) and thought it was boring so I'm not going to type it out...I think it started in England and they used books for paddles...I got that fact from Wikipedia so it's probably not true
Anyway, Ping Pong could be considered a hot topic around the Glose home...there have been many a battle in the basement at 104 Millspring Lane
One time, I went on a hot streak and racked up a solid 40 wins in a row ( I was untouchable)
and then my career went into an insane tail spin...I've never been able to regain my magic due to some "rule" changes...apparently my serve was "cheating"(they were scared of my skill)....career over
It is very interesting to me how a simple game consisting of paddles and a ball could cause brothers to turn on each other so swiftly (pretty sad actually)
I would have to say I am quite the fan of watching Ping Pong and really wonder why it's not on TV more...I know America is asking for it
Take a gander por favor
You'll notice the skill these gentlemen display, as well as the ridiculously awesome announcer
I am not that good...will I ever be that good? probably not...does that bother me? maybe...should it? no
Ping Pong is a pretty spicy game though and I CHALLENGE ANYBODY, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!!!!!
(no I don't)
Glad to see you haven't changed a bit, Glose. You stay classy!
