The Bowling Thread.

I used to hate bowling. I was terrible. 30's, 40's...
Then, I took a class at school 'cause Gym is stupidly required at Nassau Community and I'm too lazy to take something that requires movement. Now I'm actually decent and have figured out little nuances on aiming.
I've come to the conclusion that bowling is the best fucking sport America ever invented. Hell, if another country made it first, it sucked until it came here 'cause I say so. What other sport gives you points for getting pissed off and hurling a heavy ball down a long stretch of floor at a bunch of big, wooden sticks at the end? I don't see any other. What other sport only makes you do this twice before you can sit down again, drink, eat, and piss around with your friends until you're up again? I don't see any other. What other destructive and pointless activity like this can even be given meaning? I don't see any other.
Bowling is, by far, the stupidest thing to ever be called a "sport," but, dammit all, it's awesome.
Now, talk about bowling.

I like it, but Im not that good. I know how to bowl, aim, etc. My problem is that I drop the ball way to early. Ihave no idea how to correct this, so I kind of suck.

I have a 3rd place trophy from when I was on the 4th grade bowling team. We would have taken first if we hadn't had this one kid who dragged us down all the time, we were pretty damn good for 4th graders. My average then was probably around 140. Now it's probably around 80...

And it's definitely better with beer and wings than with "cosmic" strobe lights and bad pop music.

Bad pop music nothing. The alleys by me all play gangsta rap and all that other stuff. Makes me want to get pissed off and hurl the ball at the DJ instead.
Shitty music and flashing lights bowling is not awesome.

I am a bowling machine. Sure, I only get 100 points *every*single*time*, but on my 500th game in a row, when everyone else is getting 30's down from 160 or so, I'm still cranking out those 100s.

Machine, I tell you. One of the few things I suck at that I like to do.

Generally, I suck at bowling. However, I seem to bowl better when I am drinking...
No matter how bad a game I play, I still have fun with it.

I duno if I'm better or not but I sure have a lot more fun bowling when I'm drinking.

I'm usually so-so, somewhere from 120-140. I did bowl a 200 game once where I had 5 strikes in a row, though. Wish I could be on fire like that all the time.

I've always been around 70 to 90 bowler.

I did once bowl a 130 something game though.

265 Bitches...

/hasnt bowled in years, friends don't like the whole "rented shoes" concept.
