Bowling

Guess what my super-wonderful score was?!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I went bowling with some friends (5-pin bowling, with the smaller bowling balls) on Saturday and had lots of fun! And if it was golf, I would have won the first game and came in second the second game! \:D/

I got a 62 my first time and 89 the second time! *waits for everyone to stop cheering* (Wait, was that jeering instead of cheering? ;)) My second game I got two strikes in a row, and was rather impressed with myself, but as you can tell by my score, I missed a lot during all of my other turns. Good times. And unlike Connie, I always bowled in the right lane, which was very sad. :( I used "Catspaw" as my name to put on the electronic screen thing - it clearly brought me a lot of luck ;) so feel free to use it yourself next time you go bowling, if you think that it would help you do even better than 62! \:D/

My best friend adores bowling - he's always talking about it, in fact...most of the time he won't shut up about it.

The last time I went bowling, a friend and I always got a gutter ball the first time we threw, and only knocked a couple down the second! \:D/

I voted for the "Totally pathetic, Catspaw is dumb!" option!!! \:D/ My day has been made, and my vote has been set in stone, so I hereby declare... I'm sorry, Catspaw. :(

Okay, no I'm not... ;)

Anyway, I've never had that great of a blessing when it comes to bowling. I usually fall down and look like an idiot. \:D/

Bowling is tons of fun! I don't go very often, and when I do I get less than a good score. \:D/

HEY! You think that Catspaw is good! Here is my lowest score: 0
my highest: 112

I am probably the worst bowler on the face of the earth! But it makes it more fun that way!

I almost voted for that option too, Jessica! \:D/ But I changed my mind. :(

I was glad that I didn't fall down when I bowled! I did sometimes choose to look dumb and turn around so that my back was towards the pin and then lean over and throw the ball with both hands between my legs. I actually sometimes did better that way - hardly surprising when my pathetic scores are considered. ;)

0? How did you get a zero, out of morbid curiosity? Poor Danny. ;)

I love bowling, the problem is that I don't go very often. It has been so long since the last time I went that I don't remember what my score was.

I love to bowl! \:D/ I always get the lowest score of my family, but it's still fun. ;) The only thing I don't like is the smoky atmosphere of most bowling alleys... :sick:

My aunt broke her arm a few years ago when she was bowling, and she hasn't been back since! \:D/ I'm glad that's never happened to me. O:)

Well, if your taste in games is a strange as your taste in bugs, I'm probably better off not bowling. \:D/

Glad California doesn't allow smoking inside anymore!

I am quite likely, were I to bowl, to get the lowest score. I haven't gone in quite awhile, but I'd say my style is many gutterballs and goofiness, mixed with a few super-outstanding lucky throws. ;)

I'm glad that it isn't allowed where I am, either! Ickiness!

Darcy, it sounds like we would bowl well together. ;)

I love to bowl, I'm just not very good.

For work I organize a bowling tournament every year. This maybe something you all would enjoy just doing with friends!
Keep in mind the idea is to have fun, and bowling skills are not required!
*We bowl fun frames (3,6,9) that change each game
* Some we have used in the past are
Granny style, Opposite hand, use your partners ball, eyes shut, backwards between the legs.

Also, I have these great jester hats that the people with the most gutter balls have to wear during the next game! The balls on the ends flash!

One major plus for living in a green state - no smoking in any public building YAY!!!

I want to puke anytime I go into rsteraunts in Lynchburg..they all smell terribly. Blech.
