Bowling
« on: January 28, 2018, 05:04:14 pm »
I just bowled my high game 221 and my high series 549.

Just wanted to share.  I'm feeling pretty good right now.
Boom!

That's very good. My high score was 263 in a day where my average for ten games that day was 209. However, that was my best day, and I never came within 30 pins of that high score.

I'm proud of you Todd.  You too Happy.  You are Super Bowlers.

Fuck it, Dude.  Let's go bowling.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I believe your Lebowski quote is, and should always be: "Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules!?"
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

I was more of a Mark Roth guy myself.  Earl Anthony looked too much like Bernie Kopell from the Love Boat.

Well, I went to school with Mark Williams, FWIW.

The lanes where he grew up were not in the greatest part of town, but the joint was always packed, it seemed like. Pretty cool place. If you were 5' 10" or more, they'd sell you pitchers of beer, regardless of your age. We'd go there on Saturday, and actually try to bowl well for a while. After that, we'd spend the rest of the afternoon drinking pitchers of Michelob, I think it was.

9th grade. Good times.
