Here's an inside look at more of my top-secret ping-pong training.
If it weren't for my grueling work schedule at TGS, I'd be playing ping-pong 24 hours a day.

Here I am on the streets of NYC practicing ping-pong.
I'm hitting the ball up high to work on my lob shots.
In ping-pong this is called "lobbing" or "fishing" -- they're a little different -- but I won't get into details on that now.

Basically my lob got too powerful & I lobbed it over some buildings a few blocks away. And it landed in Madison Square Garden. I guess the ball built up so much force, it was able to break through the ceiling of Madison Square Garden. I snuck past security, and found my ping-pong ball.

In this second photo, you see me with the ping-pong ball inside Madison Square Garden.
Some old dude rock stars were on stage rehearsing for their big show tonight as part of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame concert. Because Madison Square Garden has such high ceilings, it was a good place to practice my ping-pong serves that requires a high toss of ball. This is called a high toss serve in the ping-pong biz.

I made my hat myself of course. My shirt is from the cool people at either http://www.fearwerx.com or at http://www.fright-rags.com.

It's very rare that I let you know where The Rossitano gets his clothes. And for ping-pong there's so many places you can get stuff.

I got my blade from the dude that owns Fat Cat. http://www.fatcatmusic.org

And there's tons of other places to get awesome ping-pong stuff.
http://www.usatt.org has more info too.
I get my stuff from all over. I don't let one place tie me down.

Have a great Halloween. I'm hoping to meet some hot chicks. There are a lot of cool Halloween parties going on.
I might have to hit more than one. Turn Halloween into the whole weekend. Just found out that Spin http://spinyc.com is having a Halloween party -- they'll have lots of hot chicks. But basically, (and don't tell anyone this) I just want a chick that's cool. I don't need a high maintenance hot chick.

Talk soon.

This is one of my ping-pong training methods. I practice hitting the ball. Not against a wall. Not against a ping-pong robot.

But outdoors against a metal fence. I have to precisely hit the ball so that it hits the metal wiring and bounces back to me.

It's a great exercise for accuracy. Any moron can hit the ball against the wall or over a net.

Not many can hit the ball against a wire fence for hours and have the ball bounce back to them every time.

My place is too small for a ping-pong table, so I have to use unorthodox methods for training.
I call this is my Rocky 4 training. Rocky trained outdoors in the freezing snow. Drago trained indoors, hooked up to high tech computers. And who won? That's right. Rocky. He literally punched the communism right out of Drago. And why did Rocky win? 'Cause his training was more intense.

At TGS there is space for a ping-pong table. But Liz Lemon won't let us have one.

Because she knows we'll spend all our time playing ping-pong and no time writing sketches. I think Hornberger secretly wants a ping-pong table. But refuses to get one, because he knows I'll destroy him in a match. And he doesn't want to face reality. Plus he's got anger issues. Tracy plays ping-pong on the computer & thinks that means he's good at real ping-pong. And he stinks at regular ping-pong. I've seen it. That's a note to everyone: just 'cause you're good at videogame ping-pong, it doesn't mean you're good at real ping-pong.

Everyone thinks they're so great at ping-pong. And you know what? 105% of them are delusional.

And 99% of them suck. Let's face it, if you were any good, you'd enter a real tournament & see just how good you are.

There's this one in NYC: http://www.doublefish-us.com/tournaments/ac1_1_2010/ac_entryform.pdf

And this one in Atlantic City: And this one in Atlantic City.

Or if you don't live in the NYC area, they have real tournaments all over the country.http://www.usatt.org/events/tournaments.shtml#regions

So, if you think you're any good, why don't you try and prove it?

Just 'cause you can beat your little brother who's in the 2nd grade & you're the best player in your basement, doesn't mean you're actually good at ping-pong.

And ladies, if you need a private ping-pong lesson, now you know you to talk to.

I played ping-pong with Spiderman.

I went shopping for used discount vitamins at an outdoor flea market in Queens.

Had to do get the vitamins. Writing for TGS is very demanding. I often have to be in the office 10 hours a day & I'm spend 8 of those 10 hours playing video games while pretending to work. And the remaining 3 hours I spend either daring Lutz to eat things, or giving Jenna old sketches from other shows but telling her I wrote them for her but that it can be our secret that she wrote it herself. Then she gets busted for plagiarism. She falls for that a lot.

The vitamins were only $2 a bottle. So it's a big savings. It was kind of like raiding someone's medicine cabinet, only much bigger and outdoors in 90 degree heat. I like a flea market where you can buy a machete knife, a skateboard with an American eagle on it, underwear, a queen size Scarface blanket & random vitamin bottles. Flea markets are great.

Been playing a lot of ping pong this summer. Ran into Spiderman at this new fancy ping pong place in Manhattan called Spin. He was afraid to play against me. So, we teamed up as doubles partners and destroyed everybody. Frank & Spiderman cannot be beaten in ping pong.

So, I'm in shape and ready for a new season of TGS.

I'm still trying to convince Liz to get a ping pong table at the office or on one of  our filming stages or hallways, or stairways or the roof of the building. I don't care. I'll play anywhere. I've been playing ping pong so much...and don't hate me here...but I think it's even better than video games.

Ladies, I did not include any close-ups of my face...because...I want you to want it...and earn it...I can't just give you a close-up right away.

Hope everyone had a great summer. Ladies if you have any hot stories you want to share with me...Let's hear it.
