Title: Bowling anyone?
Post by: Trish on August 05, 2006, 11:48:30 pm: If you do, you should bowl against me & John....

WE SUCK!!! :o

So, we're going to join a league this fall...

it's the "Not So Good League" and we're a shoe-in. ;D

And I'm dead serious. ;D

Post by: jkinatl2 on August 05, 2006, 11:53:32 pm: I suck at bowling, but have ALWAYS had a terrific time when I've tried. Could be that bowling is one of the few sports that combines dexterity, large heavy things, and beer.

I think I even have a bowling shirt somewhere :).

There was this bowling league that all my friends from the bar were on. Since I was not on the league, I could not play... Actually, even if I was on the league, I still couldn't play... I am also that bad.

Bowling Alleys always have a bar and since I was there with bar friends, we drank. Not a lot of surprise there if you will. One night, I decided to be the cheerleader because all bowling leagues should have a special person to rally the troops and distract the opposing teams.

MY CHEER

I SIZZLE, I ROAR, BECAUSE I AM A WHORE... I'M TACKY, I PREEN, BECAUSE I AM A QUEEN... RAH, RAH, EAT ME RAW... YEAH TEAM

Post by: aztecan on August 06, 2006, 02:27:06 pm: Yes, I bowl. Not well, mind you, but I bowl. I think my average is only around 135.

But, every year, I am on the Laughlin League. Yep, I'm referring to Lauglin, Nevada, the only place an old fart like myself can go and feel like a youngster! ;D

Anyway, its lots of fun, although I don't drink beer.

Oh, and Jonathan, since you have a bowling shirt, bring it to Montreal. I'll show you mine if you show me yours! :D

HUGS,

Mark

Post by: AlanBama on August 06, 2006, 07:21:46 pm: I love to bowl, but am terrible at it.

I don't have my own ball, and when I find one in the bowling alley that has the holes far enough apart for my fingers to fit in, it is so damn heavy I can't lift it.
Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: Sae on August 06, 2006, 09:52:45 pm: I think what's important about bowling is to react with the correct phrases:
Like when someone leaves only the head pin you must say: "You left the head pin you PINHEAD"
Another gutter ball for the guttermind.

Last time I went bowling they turned off the lights and it was neon black lights and weird coloured bowling balls that glowed. I did allot better.....and I can't even remember what that was called. The next day I had bowling butt, which is the correct term for sore glut on one side only. (keep it clean people...)

Post by: The Canuck on August 06, 2006, 10:05:27 pm: I actually played bowling for several years ( about 7 years ) and even played tournament in Vermont / Burlington/ Plattsburg / Montréal / Québec City when I was about 20 years old. I'd like to specify those tournaments weren't the highest caliber, yet I had an average of 190 when I stopped. The big players at these tournaments had average of 225+. I'm talking about the big ones here as I never had fun with the small ones.

I still have my two bowling balls ( one being used if floor has been freshly waxed...and another when it's not anymore ). When I started to go serious into school I didn't have anymore time for it, and only played once in the last 15 years. The first three games were pretty bad but slowly it started to come back but never pursued after this last event. ::)

Regards,

The Canuck

Post by: kcmetroman on August 07, 2006, 09:50:51 am: Okay truth be known......

SHE SUCKS

(and I like it) ;D

I had a 170 the last game. Doesn't matter that it followed a 125.

Post by: Teresa on August 07, 2006, 09:55:56 am: I was on a bowling league for about 10 yrs.
I wasn't very good but had alot of fun.
The only times I bowled really good was when I was pregnant....LOL

You're on Danny... let's do it.

Canuck, I was in on a league team years ago... I was pretty good, I guess. I averaged 150-160. I suppose with some practice I'll get right back into it and I'll kick John's ass. :D

Sae, midnight bowling is the best. We used to do that often when I lived in Brooklyn. What a blast, getting drunk and then bowling in the neon lights... and you are so right about the bowling butt, my left cheek is killing me. Anyone wanna kiss it and make it feel better? :D

Alan, you'll fit right in with me and John then. Really, we both suck!!!

Mark, is that Laughin League??? Sounds more appropriate, NO? ;) :o

Michael, I definitely want you as our cheerleader... I love that cheer of yours!!! GOOOOO MICHAEL!!!

Jonathan, you'll fill up our team perfectly... since we all suck. We could call our team, "The Suckers." And we'd all look FANTABULOUS in our bowling shirts that say, "We Suck, but we suck real goooooooood!" :o ;D ;) How's that for a tagline? :D
Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: Trish on August 07, 2006, 09:58:55 am: Teresa, you can only be on our team when you are NOT pregnant... we only want people who suck. Okay? :D We can't have you doing better than us.

Post by: Sdgirl on August 07, 2006, 10:01:33 am: I have to say that I am a pretty damn good bowler! Somehow it just comes naturally to me..........must be something about holding balls in my hands or something like that! :o

PLUS...........bowling alleys have THE BEST french fries!!

Post by: david25luvit on August 07, 2006, 10:07:23 am: Hey Trish....

I have enjoyed bowling in the past but was never really good at it. I wouldnt say I suck ::)...well not when it comes to bowling anyway but I discovered wearing the right shoes and choosing the "right" ball does wonders for my game. Walking back with my head held low after making a fabulous gutter ball shot always made me feel like a big sissy... ::)

Post by: Sae on August 07, 2006, 10:38:14 am: Wow.
Eep.

I played baseball on a team called "Wankers" once....
Kind of weird for a team sport, but we could amuse....ourselves.

Perhaps suckers is a bit overtly sexual...how about the teabaggers?

One of the things I always liked about bowling was.... Its the only sport I know of, where you can be legally drunk, and participate in ;D

Ray
Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: Trish on August 07, 2006, 11:44:57 am: You got that right Ray. ;D Actually, I bowl much better when I'm drunk. No inhibitiions at all. I guess that was my problem the other night, no alcohol...damn.
Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: Jeff64 on August 07, 2006, 06:01:30 pm: ;D
Bowling is a great excuse to drink beer, and that is a good thing.
Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: J.R.E. on August 07, 2006, 08:35:52 pm: I knew a woman in a league once. She had a hand towel with " I am giving up bowling for sex, the balls are lighter, and you don't have to change your shoes" ;D

Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: Lwood on August 08, 2006, 09:48:01 am: I used to have a couple of friends that worked at a bowling alley. I got into the habit of stopping in after work.
I was the 'Boyfriend' of the bartender so that all of the guys would qiut hitting on her
I hung out there for almost a year and never touched a ball. ;D

Bowling trivia : Brunswick, the bowling alley chain and sports equipment manufacturer also makes Cruise Missiles. Hows THAT for a strike.
Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: cmhjeff on August 08, 2006, 02:34:09 pm: Got my first bowling ball for my 16th birthday. My partner and I use to bowl on a straight league on Tuesday nights. The bowling was fun but we liked cruising the drunk str8 guys more than the bowling. :) I was never that good at it. Just like golf I never follow thru with my swing. My partner still bowls. It gets his mind off me and the PML. Since I'm doing better this year I might tag along to watch.

Title: Re: Bowling anyone?
Post by: Shawn Decker on August 10, 2006, 12:52:04 am: I come from a long line of bowlers. I tried to deny what was in my blood for many years, then in high school I gave in. At 19 I bought my first bowling ball; I have owned several. And I have seen both my father and my brother bowl perfect 300 games in sanctioned leagues. (They give you a big Liberace ring with "300" on it.)

Just meandering down memory lane with a bag containing two balls and a pair of ugly shoes.

I'm up for it if others are.
