Patro-tennis
A game in which two or more people patronise each other in post after post on an internet thread, quickly losing any trace of coherent, respectful argument and regressing to child-like personal attacks.
"Hey man, check out this thread I just cut from the comment feed on that educaton reform piece I wrote. Patro-tennis all the way. Sigh. Why is it so hard to people to argue respectfully, in a way that indicates they're actually interested in challenging their own views and learning from each other?!"

"@User 1: I assume you didn't actually read the article because if you had, you'd see that the third paragraph clearly explains different payment options that don't resort to tax dollars. I think you need your eyes checked?"

"Fuck you."

Tunnel Tennis
A sport made famous in Richmond Virginia, where two players stand adjacent to each other in a tunnel, and try to bounce a tennis ball from the wall opposite to them, to the wall next to them, and hit the wall there opponent is standing in front of to make a "Z" pattern. If the opponent catches the ball they can try to throw the ball in the similar fashion, to try to gain a point. If the ball hits the opponents, wall and is not successfully blocked the player gains a point. This sport tends to be played in pedestrian under-road tunnels where there is a grid pattern in the concrete. It tends to be played by stoners ranging from the ages of 16-25.
