Not like bloody golf where you're taking 12 shots to get to the green if you suck and you're panicking because your friends are ready to club you over the head.
    Shari, we can puty up the bumper rails too so nobody gutters.

      if you're having a bowling tournament don't invite someone from milwaukee
      Northern kids represent!!

      My hometown ex's family owns a five pin and 10 pin bowling alley. Many a weekend spent there. I even joined a drunken league and somehow qualified for the regional championships. People from places that see snow 10mths of the year excel at indoor stuff ie bowling, pool, century club, darts, sex, etc.

          I just thought it would build camaraderie between posters... I don't expect to win!

              I was thinking about those suites! My other boss got us one at the Palms. It had a bowling alley and a big ass bar. Crazy stuff. I wonder how much those even go for.

                    Wait...is averaging 192 in bowling a point of pride?

                        I average 9 beers. Does that mean anything?

                            Sounds great. We used to play in phys. ed.
                            I have a 300 average.











                            For a 3 game total.

                              192 a game is pretty decent. Not pro status or anything, but very solid.

                                Leafer. No offense, I meant in terms of being good at bowling as a point of pride. I live in California. I think it's illegal here.

                                  would you rather be bad at bowling? it's not like i practice or anything, probably played 6 games total over the last 3 years

                                      Oh, I practice. I live 2 mins from a bowling alley. Monday Nights, they have $1.25 beers for 16 oz'ers and 8.00 bowling for 3 hrs. Great deal. Plus, leagues are a blast. Then again, I can enjoy anything that has some level of competition.

                                        No Mike it's just jealousy rearing it's ugly head. I usually just fire myself down the lane to maximize my chances but I always get a violation.

                                          LA is where I honed my skillz. There's a bowling place in Santa Monica on Pico that had crazy deals like pay $5 for all you can bowl for 5hrs and like $2 a drink, $1 a beer on Tuesday or Wednesday night. Some people would rock up with bowling gloves and their own balls straight out of Kingpin and it was ALWAYS packed. And then we started to go the Lucky Strike in Hollywood and it felt like you were in some crazy club. Like bottle service at a bloody bowling alley? And chicks all cooched up like they were going out on the prowl. But I think that's because a lot of celebs go there so I guess they were trying to pick up?? We even had a work 'relax day' there. We rented out the whole place and it was a bunch of corporate types going crazy. The CFO of our division threw his ball into the speaker above the lane and it came crashing down. Slapping everyone on the ass, people screaming and cheering. Crazy shit. And some of these wankers have bowling lanes in their houses and never use them... but put them in a competitive environment and it was on! Man I want to go bowling now.

                                            some of the best times i have had in the past year involve beating members of my family at ping-pong

                                            like leafer said, competitive stuff

                                                  Jumpin Jeepers we were there for 5 days!!!!!!!!!! WTF??? He must've gotten a deal. Had to have. We used a company plane and he came with us from Wed - Fri and then went home for his son's soccer game. Sent the plane back for us Monday. Plane would've been free but there's no way he'd be paying over 50k for a hotel room for a few of his staff. Especially when he wasn't there for all of it. Man I have no concept of cash. I would've thought 5k tops. That's a crazy amount of cash of a bloody bowling alley. Yeah the suite was nice but not 15k nice.

                                                    Shari, lets set up a fast pitch station for next bash. We can bet hundreds/thousands on who can throw the fastest. Very curious if anyone could top my velocity. My arm would hurt for a week after throwing, but that is okay for the glory of winning.

                                                      With this crowd? Injury rate would run at 65%.

                                                      SBR wiffleball tournament. Make it happen.

                                                        if there is a bet of "thousands" then that is enough incentive for me to pay mayan $200/each to take out the guys with good arms

                                                        then my 64 mph will win!

                                                          Where would we set it up? And who the hell would want to pitch in that heat? The only person I know that can on here is Vendildo but he won't make it to a bash. Not saying others can't but just haven't heard them talk about it.

                                                          We need to do something that I can participate in too. As much as I don't mind cheering you cokroaches on, I much prefer trying to steal your money with my secret skills!
