I seem to remember sfthief, Evan, and/or sfer coming up with some game while they were waiting for someone. Maybe they can fill us in with the specifics.
Edit: found it. It's Evan and scrub.

Initial attempts to play with the large paper-mache “research devices” (they looked like big versions of Labyrinth (http://www.ehobbies.com/tg-cr-190.html), but apparently then were for science) failed miserably when we discovered we didn’t have a ball to use with them. Luckily, Evan noticed that Tash’s advisor had just gotten a new computer with an old-school mouse. Score!
After attempts to pick up the labyrinth looking thing resulted in putting big gashes in the wall of the office, Evan and I decided it was time to think outside of the box. The result—TableBall!!!!
TableBall looks a lot like Evan and I winging a mouse ball at each other across a conference table, except with gambling and property damage. Also, Edtost was the TableBall fish.
Here were the official rules of TableBall:
(1) $1 per point.
(2) Ball must hit the table before scoring.
(3) Hitting goal posts (stuck together staples) counts as a point.
(4) Regulation table is 12’ x 4’.
(5) Goal posts shall be 9’’ from the table’s edge.
(6) Hitting Flushed (Tash) is bad.
(7) Opponents sit at opposite ends of the TableBall table and take turns winging the ball at each other, trying to get the ball to go off of the table in between the goal posts.
Final score: Scrub (5), Evan (3) EdFish (1). When you count the side-game action with Evan, I cleared $9 in an hour of TableBall. I’m thinking about going pro, but I’m not sure my sample size is high enough to determine my true win rate yet…
[The turning point in Evan and scrub's HU match was when scrub perfected the bounce shot and Evan injured the tip of his thumb in a game preserving save. --Evan]

Eventually, we managed to leave Princeton, after Evan got his revenge by desecrating Tash’s bathroom with a post discount sushi visit.
