PING

[AllentownJake]

Is there a more lame thing in the world than that?

[scheming daemons]

1. Bump?

The freepers use that one a lot too.

[Sebastian Doyle]

5. "Bump" is fairly generic

I've seen it used on a lot of boards, so the Freeps definitely don't have any claim on that one.

The only reason we prefer "kick" around here is because we have the cool little donkey to go with it. :kick:

2. College baseball reference?

PING!!!

They should transition to wood.

[Buzz Clik]

11. At least they don't splinter.

[Unsane]

14. Not sure why that's important.

It probably saves money, but it also makes the transition to the pros more difficult (aluminum to wood).

3. I can think of one thing more lame...

This thread.

10. Sorry read that lets overthrow the govt report

and the Ping thing always makes me laugh.

[WeDidIt]

13. LOL

It makes me laugh, too.

4. Unless you're trying to send packets to another network device...

...to ascertain whether it's connected.

Other than that, it's only good with pong.;)

[WeDidIt]

6. Nope, there's another purpose

If you're searching for an enemy submarine or trying to signal another vessel via underwater listening devices, a ping is entirely appropriate

7. "1 ping only"?

:rofl:

[NoGOPZone]

8. Yes, "Zot". And speaking of lame things

they picked that one as a tribute to Johnny Hart.

[Patsy Stone]

9. I always wonder if they're in a submarine.

My next thought is usually:

12. Pong?
