There is a bowling alley right across the street from me and I have been going there probably every day in the last two weeks to get my game back.
My ball is still with the movers and won't get here for a couple months still, but I haven't been doing to bad with the house balls. My scores are about maxed out with those.
House balls (15lb) I'll usually get between 150-180 and sometimes higher, sometimes in the 140's. Tonight I bowled my highest in a while, a 189.
I'll just get a new ball soon and then tear that place apart with strikes.
Anyone else bowl? And I'm not talking about that faggety thumb out of the ball shit train style.

My old man rolled a 300 when he was 10 or 11 way back when...at the time he was the youngest person in the world or country or something to have done it.andyman wrote:There is a bowling alley right across the street from me and I have been going there probably every day in the last two weeks to get my game back.

I used to bowl for the hell of it in the summer with friends when we had nothing else to do...and I took a bowling class in college my senior year because I needed 3 credits..heh.
I'm a streaky bowler...nothing fancy, no spin on the ball, just two steps off center and roll it at a slight angle at the pocket.
Best game is a 268 (had 8 strikes in a row that one.) I've had a 222, 246, and a couple other rounds over 200.
That was back in college about 8 years ago...hadn't bowled for almost 7 years until about 1 month ago and went. Best round was a 179 in 3 games... :/
Funny thing though, I actually couldn't finish my last game because I had strained my achilled tendon a few days earlier. I was bowling with my right shoe off (thinking just a sock might help), but I had to stop. I had to drop out of a bowling game due to injury. Sad.
heh.
The other day i they gave me some shoes that were fresh out of the box and slick as a mofo! I was this close to falling on my ass every roll with lots of people watching too, so i went to get a different pair of shoes.
The ones they gave me were from the stone age and when i went to roll again, i thought 'well im not gonna fall on my ass this time so just rool the ball'.
Sure enough I didn't slide at all and went straight forward onto the lane hands down and on my knees thinking omgwtflol
it was pretty funny

I haven't bowled in a long time. Used to do it regularly several years ago, but never was really great at it. My average was around 160.
Started out throwing straight, but once I learned to hook it I never went back.
It's still pretty fun with some friends, since you can compete while getting drunk, like pool or darts or fussball. :icon32:
