Ok, so it's probably most correct to say "pinged", but I have to admit that "pung" would be the funnier option. Why, you ask? 'Cause "pung" means scrotum in Swedish...
On a side note, if you need to use ping in a past tense, you're probably pinging so bad that you might as well quit and leave, and no ping in the world will help you get a pong in MahJong, 'cause your low-slung-pung (are you with me?) is making you so high-strung that you couldn't give a rats*** about your original ping. Dude, I'm rambling, I need someping...erm...something to eat...

That explains why I've been getting so much ping this last week!
Actually, when mIRC pings the IRC server it connects to, it says 'PING? PONG!'. So... (Loibisch-style waffle follows)
When the ping comes back as pong, the ping is in the past and the pong is now the present form of the ping. This means that pong is actually the present tense, and ping is the past tense. This only applies if something has been ping. So if nothing has been ping, it can be called ping in the present conditional non-eventual, and the past is pinged in the past conditional non-eventual. If something has been ping, the present is pong in the present positive conditional existence, and the past is ping in the past positive conditional existence.
Got that? Anyone want to dispute this?

What do you think of...
...using "Ping" as a synonym for having sex?
Example: "Man, I really love to ping her in the kitchen!"
"She pings like a wild goat"
"She's a dead ping"
