I love to bowl, but, since shoulder surgery a year ago, i haven't even considered trying.

Anyone here in a league? Or just like to bowl?

Any other sports you play currently?

just got back from bowling league actually...

to me its less a sport than an excuse to drink...

UncleButternutts · Aug 13, 2003

lol

Reminds of some really dumb shit i have done at the bowling alley

Lesson learned: don't forget last frame, then, decide you don't have to bother with the shoes to bowl it...Socks on alley + too many beers to count = Ambulance ride

Bowling is where my gambling all started actually....I use to bet my 6th grade pal every saturday morning in our league, 3 bucks a game...lol

We bowl duckpins up here Uncle.....3 balls little small balls and the pins fly around, pins are smaller too...a good score in ducks is 125 and up...My high game 188...

UNCLE,

I have been the anchorman for my league bowling team a long time now and I still carry about a 190 average...(about the same number as my golf game, too, lol)

Not too shabby for an old man...

But I dont know how many more years I will continue since my team never wins!

Shrink have you tried Duckpins....Ever seen them ?

Different game but alot of fun...

THE SHRINK · Aug 13, 2003

Yeah, but I suck at Duckpins..

Maybe when I am 70, I will try them...

Isn't that mostly geriatric people who bowl against Duckpins?

sheesh!

Shrink,
let's bowl for money while you're here!

Journeyman · Aug 13, 2003

Duckpins take more skill,lol... But its a dying sport, not alot of duckpin alleys left....I guess its all what you were raised on...

I have Bowled Tenpins but way after I had bowled ducks for years and it just wasn`t the same...Way more pin action with duckpins...

Bowling is a fun sport to gamble on too...

One game me and my buddies used to play 8 or better, we didn`t bet alot maybe 5 bucks a rd. U get one ball and you have to get 8 or better with it (which isn`t that easy in ducks) if you got the 8 you were in for the next rd til one guy was left...3-4 guys fun stuff

Duckpins?

Is that where the ball is just a bit bigger than like a softball??

I think thats what they had up north, when i was a kid.

I told my wife about it, and she just assumed i was a crackbaby.

Yeah its a little larger than a softball and you can really bring some serious heat if you got game

I`d put a serious hurtin on them pins, and when you hit that pocket right, its a serious explosion

I did my 12 grade senior project on bowling

I want you to spot me 10 pins though..

Also, come to my suite and listen to this great VCR sound system and DVD I will have there...

It is GRAND...

Just kidding, but I hope to see u!

LouDiamond+ · Aug 13, 2003

Shrink,
10 pins!? You're claiming a 190 ave. 200 is low tourny level pro. Com'on. I'm easy money for you.

I don't want to crash your party. If this is genuine invite, I will be happy to do stop by and have a drink, maybe bong...uh bowl.

LouDiamond+ · Aug 13, 2003

Should I bring a gun?

UncleButternutts · Aug 13, 2003
