I converted the Jews...to MEGA PONG that is!



Yeah...so playing on just one table got a little boring. So, when the school put a second table in, we had to use it. We combined the two, and MEGA PONG was born. All the rules for our single table ping pong table still apply with the addition of a few new ones.

Each side has 4 slots.

When serving, server must serve to opposing side. The white line of the table on the same side of server is "in".

When in rally the middle two slots can be returned by both players. Players do not have to switch returning.

The two outside slots can only be returned by the player on that side.

Body saves have been introduced. a person can stop the ball with his body, then try and return it back into play. This is only allowed once a game.

Warning: Once a person has played MEGA PONG, they are unlikely to want to return to boring 'ol regular ping pong.

Benefits: monopolizes the ping pong tables

Additional Benefits: Small moral victories and increase vitality

Battle Wounds


If you haven't seen Doug's unbridled passion for ping pong, it is something to witness. His kill shots are legendary! This one 'barely' missed the table and Nate tried to return it with his neck.

Nate has been 'Nighted'

Passing of the Baton


Today I got to practice my surgical skills. I took a fresh scalpel blade and dissected Mike's banana and planted the ring. My skills need a little polishing, there was a little more ecchymosis than I expected

Special K

We have this professor, Dr. Kalekas, who teaches Physical Diagnosis and he tells us a joke at teh beginning of every lecture. Some are crude, some are clean, but all are funny. I will start writing them down. As of now here is just a list of some:

Some buttonhole has my pen.
Hillbilly Vasectomy

Volleyball + Hockey = Med School Pong






When opposing team attempts to hit a 'set shot' the soon to be receiving team member can attempt to block the 'spike'. This can be accomplished by any means necessary. They can use the paddle, arms, chest, screaming, and a direct body check to setter or spiker is allowed to disrupt the shot. This is especially encouraged when receiving team is at game point and a successful 'set' shot would win the game.

This is a gamble! Only the returning player can do this. If block is missed, and shot enters into play, it is that persons turn to return the ball. Their teammate cannot return it.
