    The Best Table Tennis Points Of 2024 - real talent

    https://kottke.org/25/01/the-best-table-tennis-points-of-2024
    Oh, those were FUN!  
    Thru my teens, 20s and 30s, I was very good at pingpong (the two DVTs/PEs I've had since, I can't run around that quickly anymore for more than a game, without gasping for breath).
    One specialty I had, that I didn't see happen once in the above clip, is when the ball whaps the top of the net, loses most momentum, and then flies pretty much straight up; sometimes it hits on the opponent's side (point) and sometimes on your side.  In my younger days I had the reflexes to lunge forward and lightly tap the ball to the left or the right, within 15º of the net; nobody could return those shots (so much fun!)  The shots that hit the edge of the table, nobody could know the angle they'd take, and nobody (including the above champs) could return them.  
    Like skiing, and Wild Hotel Monkey Sex, I miss a few things from my younger days that I can't do anymore....  :|

    Bummer!  Just learned this morning that Blue Man Group are hanging up their PVC pipes and retiring!  

    Some may view them as just a Las Vegas act, but they developed a totally unique persona, comedy show, their own musical instruments, and a worldwide empire.  

    And they were musical.  I have both their audio CDs and a DVD concert, and it is wonderful music, a struck tube of PVC has such a great, percussive sound.  Glad I got to see them live a couple times.

    @Botch - I was lucky enough to see Blue Man Group a few times over the years.

    I'm not sure why, but I always wondered if the vibe of this Pearl Jam song was inspired by their sound at all:

    Sure sounds like it; and the styling of that video sure looks like the cubicle worker featured in some of their shows.  Wonder if it's the same guy/studio.

    I'm glad you agree.  Your musical ears are surely much better than mine.

    The song stands out in the PJ catalog because it's very different from most of their other stuff.  But looking for a link, I never found anything online.
