i was on a no-tap league with my gf over the winter, and i got an 8 on my 11th ball after i had just thrown 10 strikes so i was pissed, so i grabbed a 12lb house ball and tried to throw it as fast as i could, it stuck on my thumb until i got to about 2 oclock(if my head is 12 and the pins are 3) and it went halfway down the lane, hit the edge of the gutter, went up on the gutter and nailed the camera that counts the pins. the rest of the night if you got at least 5 pins it was counting it a strike lol.

needless to say, the manager wasn't very happy with me that night and made me pay for my games //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Ahh yes! About time! haha I've been bowling my entire life! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif My dad is the head IT for Royal Pin.. largest network of bowling alleys in the US, so It's pretty much been my life. Bowled some for college at Purdue my freshman year.. Avg about 205-215 on my home lanes, and like 170-180 at school at the Sport shot. Still don't have my 300 ring, but 11 in a row seems to be more exciting! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

A couple weeks ago me and my friend were up there bowling. The lanes were super slick, they had just greased them down. It was so bad, we pretty much just stopped and started dicking around. We put up the bumpers, and tried to see how many times you could bounce it back and forth before it hit the pins. I think the record was 5 bounces, before the lady at the desk came over and said "if you break it, you buy it."

Nice. Everybody seems to get all these strikes in a row, I just can't keep it consistant. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i promise that when i get my 300 it will be MUCH more exciting than the numerous times i've gotten 11 in a row lol. i don't even know if i want my ring for it though, i don't think i'd EVER wear it. i could always put it on a necklace and give it to my gf lol.

i wish my highschool had a bowling team so i could've become more serious about it earlier in my life.

i've talked to some people that have been bowling for 20+ years that haven't broken 220. then when i tell them i've only been bowling for like 3 and i only bowl in the winter, they get pissed.

some people just take it more seriously than others.

i'm just one of those people that tries to learn as much as i can, and why stuff happens when you do certain things.

Man if I bowled a 300, I would go nuts. The only thing that would **** would be to get to 12 strikes and then mess up the last frame.

lol hopefully she won't be there. in my experience, girls just know how to jinx you like that.

i don't know how many times i've had a good game going and my current girlfriend would say something like "wow that's a lot of strikes" or "you're only 5 strikes away from a perfect game"

then wouldn't you know it, BAM split.

silly girls.
