The Ping-Pong grudge match

Recently I have gotten in touch with some old friends through Facebook ( something I swore I would never do ) and the strangest thing happened. One of the people happened to be a cracker jack tennis player and with my usual smart mouth I challenged her to a game of Ping Pong. Now that is where the craziness started. We started taking shots at each other on FB and one thing led to another and some pictures were posted and lets just say I am the only one playing by the, unwritten, rules. She has bribed my family to her side of the fan base with promises of food. Anyone who knows my family can say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this is way out of line. You give my family sweets and they will jump at the chance to go to the DARK side. I had to promise a 5th grader a trip to Kings Island to get someone on my side. Wow its lonely at the top. Now dont get me wrong, she will be a formidable opponent but I got some game myself. I am getting the feeling this is taking on a Billy Jean King vs. Bobby Riggs aura. I am afraid that there will be 100 people there with cookie crumbs in their hair and chocolate smeared on their faces chanting for her to take me down. I have been training non-stop for this event and I hope it is not a futile attempt to save face. I do know this as fact. I can beat her in golf!!! Seriously, I hope everyone will still be friends when its over and nothing gets broken. I mean bones and furniture. I have a tendency to plow into lazyboy chairs when I get fired up. I guess I will just have to take my catchers helmet and hope for the best. One thing is for sure, I have had a blast getting back in touch with old friends and this will be a great way to enjoy them even more. This event is going to take place over the Christmas break and I guess I need to ask Santa for a win against her. I didnt know this was getting to me so much but I think I am losing hair because of all the stress. ha Fun will be had by all and it will be a fun night. I guarantee it!!!
