Whatever you do…don’t call it “ping pong.”
This afternoon I was the photographer assigned to shoot the live “Geoff on the Road” segments - this week he went to the local Table Tennis Club. I can’t remember what the exact name of their league was, but I do know that they go apeshit on anyone that accidentally calls it “ping pong”, rather than “table tennis.” And, I admit it was fun watching them cringe every time our field producer, Amanda called it by the wrong name.
It was scary how good they all were at the game, and it was kinda awesome how the whole crew seemed like they stepped right out of a movie about ping pong table tennis. Despite their intimidating athletic prowess, Amanda and I decided to face off against two of their more savage players.
After we took the photo, the mini-tennis nerds were quick to point out that we should be immediately disqualified for putting our arms on the table before the serve. Either they didn’t want their children players to face our devastating serve, or they got their little revenge on us for repeatedly saying PING PONG.
