Pinging Google been flakey?

I used to ping Google alot when trying to verify connectivity, but lately I have been noticing that in the first 10 packets sent I will experience alot of packet loss. After those first 10 though, I will not experience any packet loss.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is there potentially something FUBAR on my end?

Haven't noticed anything odd, and that's my usual test of things telling clients over the phone...since everyone knows Google and I don't have to spell that for them.
Is this only from behind 5th floors gateway? Or from other ISPs also, that you notice. Just tried from on 3rd floor here...nothing out of the ordinary...13ms reply times. But we go straight out on a pub IP and our own DNS.

Mostly from my server here on a pub IP at Interbridge... I use bonded links so it might be something LACP-related. Now that I think about it, the few times I've noticed it have been immediately after restarting that box, so it probably occurs while the links are still negotiating.
Disregard
