    Am I the only one bugged by their bad technique? They keep backing off way too far from the table, they lay some really high fucking balls just tempting people to smash the shit out of them and the last guy kept doing a serve that was actually illegal. I feel that with a week or two of practice (since I havn't played table tennis in a few years) I could beat everyone on there, except possibly Khoo. Probably my arrogance talking though.

    Plus they had really bad manners in terms of not admitting their luck when hitting the side of the table or having balls roll over the net.

    Yeah I have to be one arrogant bastard to think I can beat this well seasoned team of amateurs. But look, I am from Sweden and it seems that the level of play here is a bit higher than in the States, probably due in part to the 'craze' that followed the Swedish dominance at the pro level in the mid 90s. So I have played a fair bit of table tennis against a whole bunch of people, and I typically win. So I have a pretty good idea of what players I can beat and what players I can not. So I saw a video of people I thought could beat and one I was not sure, but was a bit optimistic. Anyway, this stopped being some type of discussion and started being a circle jerk a page ago so have fun!

    PS. Gotta give props to this one.
    I'm lifting a finger right now actually.

    I see people enjoying a fun video of fun people having fun playing fun games of ping pong. And then some guy saying how aghast he is that they are having fun wrong. Their fun is rude fun and they are also not good at fun.

    Nobody cares about your mad ping pong credentials, that you got a full ride to Ping Pong U. and you killed Mao Tsetung in a fevered match. Nobody cares. You are a fun-shitter.

    Guys, I'm part Chinese.

    I'm pretty sure we invented ping pong or something. I never ever lose.

    I hit the ball and get all the points.

    Are you saying that a 10-minute video edited for maximum emotional impact isn't an accurate reflection of reality?

    That, my friend, is bullshit

    I'm beginning to suspect that Jerry's opponent, the ping pong angel, may have actually moved at some point during their 5 games.

    Only when he wasn't looking.

    only tangentially related to this thread but someone should make a thread pimping the proposed pilot for the "kris and scott scott and kris show" (seen here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krisandscott/kris-and-scotts-scott-and-kris-show)

    not me though, that's too much pressure

    Oops. And me without a spare $10,000 available to get them to buy me dinner. I'm hungry.

    Still, one of those cheaper donation bonuses could be cool.
