So, I guess beer pong is now déclassé...

when my hubs and I were looking to purchase our home, at one of the walk through's my hubs noticed an official beer pong table in the basement. he INSISTED the table was written into the contract to remain.

we are now owners of an official beer pong table, yes they do exist and yes I am declasse! :)

Sort of off-topic but is anyone else tired of the Kevin Sharkey Show that's been playing throughout the latest issues of Martha Stewart Living? I am.

And I stepped on the ping pong ball... well, it was just ghastly...so we ran to the supply closet and it was locked....so we had to call the whole thing off.
hint, movie reference

They all owe this trend to Christopher Coleman.

I simply cannot endorse or support this.

How does the saying go: "You can put lipstick on a pig..."

Girls gazing admiringly at a bloke in a bow tie playing pp! What a sheltered life I lead.

within months of moving into our new house my so got a huge folding ping pong table which takes up half the living space in the main room of our basement and an air hockey table that takes up an entire room in our basement. This post is kind of inspiring to me, maybe there is hope for the downstairs yet. I just need to make it some sort of swanky ping pong/bar entertainment area? hm..
