The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District and URS Corporation have held ping pong leagues for several years and ultimately hold a championship tournament on the seventh-floor patio of their downtown Los Angeles office building.

This year’s Pingpong Extravaganza men’s championship was held July 26, featuring a chili dog lunch to raise funds for and promote membership in the District-sponsored Toastmasters club.

“Another great year,” said Ed Louie, member of Essayons Toastmasters Club 988 and One-Alarm Chili chef. “We had some scheduling issues, so only the men’s final was held today.”

In the men’s division, it was an all-District final as ACE-IT contractor Bee Cha won three sets to one against David Coltharp of the asset management division.

Corps vs. Corps lined up as the women took the table on July 31. Perennial finalist and 2006 champion Rosa Ramirez, programs and project management division lost a hard fought battle to Roxanne Vidaurre, engineering division.

This fun rivalry got its start when Ed Louie attended a Toastmasters meeting in URS’ conference room and noticed a ping pong table in the patio area. A URS Toastmasters member asked him if he would like a quick game after the meeting. After the match, the two decided it would be fun if the district and URS challenge each other to a friendly ping pong match. From that point in 2006 to present, it’s two wins for URS men and five wins for the Corps men. For the women, its four wins for URS and two wins for the Corps women. The Corps is looking for future men and women players to join.

“If this year is any indication, the men and women of the Los Angeles District and URS Corporation will continue this friendly challenge, and I may have to add another ‘alarm’ to my chili,” added Louie.

Question by SUPERIOR INTELLECT: When somebody says “Hey, wuts good” or “What’s poppin, Bee”, how should I respond?
These ghetto kids approached me and they said, “Wuts poppin, Bee”, and I just said, “Oh, Hi” and they laughed at me. How should I have responded?

I did not grown up and was not raised in hip Hop Culture, so I’m not use to this culture.

(Sorry, to ask this in this section but I think that a lot of people here would know what to say.)
How should I respond, what phrase should I use?

  5. Just be yourself. When someone says that they mean pretty much “what’s up” or “what are you doing” but in different words. So I just say nothing. Ha. But still, just be yourself don’t feel like you have to say one thing or the other.

  13. First, What makes these kids Ghetto? Where they live, or how they dress or how they act? Ghetto is an area of the city not a culture. They were expressing urban hip hop culture.

    Now to answer your question, if they ask “What’s poppin’ B?” Then you come back with something like; “It’s good dawg or (homie) where you at?” Or even maybe something like; “It’s like woa dawg how you livin’?” You could even say something like; “You got it Fam or (peeps) what’s happenin?” Just adapt to the culture but don’t over do it with hand gestures and attitude. Just be confident in what you say, andit will all work out for you.

  15. Look man, doing these things and using these phrases that these people are giving you will only make you look and sound more stereotypical. And when did ebonics become perceived as a language for people to just “learn”?

  16. superior intellect, huh? you should avoid “ghetto kids” at all costs to not have to ask “intellectually superior” questions such as this one. This is hilarious. Reminds me of that white dude in Soul Plane.
