Mar 31 2009Dining Table Doubles As Ping Pong Table
The PING-PONG Dining Table by designer Hunn Wai is a luxurious looking table fit for both eating and beating the old ball around after dinner.
PING-PONG Dining table harks back to the origins of table-tennis with its duality of both being a table fit for dining and playing on. What started off as impromptu after-dinner amusement mimicking tennis in an indoor environment for upper-class Victorians became an international phenomenon with rules and standards. This is an official-sized game table with a DuPont Corian surface CNC machine-routed with French Rococo patterns interjected with Ping-pong iconography filled with gold lacquer, supported by stately hand-lathed timber legs. In the middle, a long rectangular vase filled with dainty blossoms does double-duty as a game-net and a table floral arrangement.
I want it. I don't care how much it costs, I want it. I freaking love myself some table tennis. You think I'm kidding? I sleep with my favorite paddle at night. He has a name, and it's Spanky. What's that, Spanky -- I've been bad? Ooooh, [PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE]. 30-love, Spanky, 30-LOOOOVE!! And I'm finished. Now, could you go tell one of your little athletic sock friends to come in here for a minute?
Hit the jump for several more of the opulence.

The last picture begs for a caption. "Yes we are so sexy eating our cheeseburgers. You wish you were this sexy eating cheeseburgers. NO! You cannot have the cheeseburger sexy! Is not for you. You fat American!"

Drinking coke out of a wine glass with your gourmet assburger and fries meal is the pinnacle of class.
Also, the net looks like a giant lamington.

If only it could triple as a Periodic Table for types of fish.
13. Spith - March 31, 2009 3:38 PM
That would actually be a half decent table but for the ridiculous "Ping-pong iconography".
14. catch22 - March 31, 2009 3:47 PM

I like the cheeseburger, which just screams "Klassy," but then I got to the last one with the overdressed McLosers asking each other "Chair? WTF is a chair?" and realized it's a big 4/1 fakeout (Daisy?) and now I'm sad.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the girl's outfit. Is she from the future?
15: You... chicken?
14: "sarchasm" is quite possibly the best word that anyone has ever made up.

@19

♪ when you find yourself in danger
when you're threatened by a stranger,
when it sounds like you could take a licken
There is someone waiting who will turn around and rescue you
just call for Super Chicken! ♪

I may have gotten some of those lyrics wrong, but I did it from memory. Then I looked up the theme song on YouTube.

HEY! HEY! YOU! NO PLAYING WITH BALLS AT THE TABLE!!!
25. Leonidas - March 31, 2009 6:47 PM
Can't find Google (even the ads on this page). It's April 1 in my part of the world... Conficker, you think?
26. Daisy - March 31, 2009 7:39 PM
FAKE!!!!
THis is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where MAx wentr to a secret ping pong tournament as an undercover FBI agent. In order to allow the agents to rescue hin in case of emergency,he smuggled a radio transmiter in his ass.

Keep the table, I'll take the redhead and her tight little stockings.
