The Perfect Neighbors ain't so perfect anymore!

Some of you out there might remember this thread, in which I lament my perfect neighbors and discuss the question of keeping up with said neighbors in terms of house presentation.

Well, they aren’t perfect anymore. Welbywife and I have found something that we do better than they. It has nothing to do with housekeeping, lawn care, or anything else, but we’re still better than they are. And more importantly, they know it, and wallow in shame!

That’s right, Welbywife and I are the champion Ping-Pong players. This is, of course, FAR more important than mowing the lawn could ever be. We invited them over to play Ping-Pong last night, because we’d just gotten around to setting up the table and they saw us playing.

Immediately Perfect Neighbor Husband says “I’m really good at Ping-Pong, and Perfect Neighbor Wife used to play in a league. Care for a couple of games?”

We gave them a half hour to warm up, then I played a singles game with PNH, and then the ladies played. Then we played doubles. Score results?

Welby vs. PNH: 21-12, Welby wins!
Welbywife vs. PNW: 21-3, Welbywife wins! (Some “league play” BWAHAHAHAHAHA!)
Welbyfamily vs. PNF: 21 - 9, Welbyfamily wins!
Welbyson vs. PNS: 21-6, Welbyson wins!

That’ll teach 'em.

Hope you did the Happy Dance[sup]TM[/sup] in celebration!!

Go Welby, go Welby.

Oh and Welby family too!

now if only you can persuade them to play for cash… :smiley:

Did you shout “SCORE!” and high five whenever you scored a point? You gotta rub it in!

Those were some spanking scorelines. :smiley:

You think they’ll come over again, ** welby? **

Keep it up. If competition between you and the neighbors gets more intense it can lead to partner swapping! Wahoo!

:smiley:

I’m terrible at ping pong. Can I still be Down with Welby? :frowning:

I play a mean game of lawn darts though.

Colour me intrigued…

Grim :confused:

HA! I know the feeling well. I am the undisputed king of Trivial persuit for three straight houses in the 55116 area code. In fact, I live with the queen, who has one victory under her belt. No neighbor has ever beat us at trivial persuit.

We’re 50/50 at pool though. I think they might be one up.

Do you mean to say that you never had the ever-dangerous pleasure of Lawn Jarts grimpixie? Think Bocce ball with implements that could cause death or maiming.

Hey look, Welby made the paper.

What’s this “could” crap, NC? You mean you never staked out the neighbor kids and played “Bombing Berlin”?
