Bowling

[Caesar dude]

I'd like to tell you all a tale of strikes and gutters if you have a minute to read.

The very first time I ever bowled I was a 17 year old kid in a 6 lane bowling alley...didn't have a clue...somewhat like a child who had wandered into a movie...

It came to my time to bowl so I just picked up the first ball that came to hand...it was a heavy assed mofo and the holes were rather wide for my juvenile fingers...I took aim drew my arm back and oh fuck! The thing just slid outa my fingers and dropped like a stone behind me! It clattered onto the floor and drew a helluva lot o attention from the all the "real" bowlers...

I just wanted to run outa there and hide and never come back but clearly one has to carry on....so I picked another ball...  smaller and with the holes a better fit for my skinny little fingers.....sorta launched it and yep it was a strike!

..strikes and gutters man..the sport of dudes

Peace.

That's ok, it happens.

Once during league play, I had a ball where the thumb hole was barely big enough... so, it's my roll, and my thumb sticks in the ball, sending it airborne with a good *pop* sound.  It lands heavily in the gutter, ramps off it into the next lane, taking down 5 pins.  I got a dirty look from my opponent .

Oops.

I have a story about gutters and strikes but it's not about bowling, man. It's about a hooker from an alley off Crenshaw.

[FuckinA]

I'm throwing rocks tonight with a couple of dudes! These guys are dead in the water!

Do not let your toe slip across the line. You may enter a world of pain.

[FuckinA]

Well, I was dead in the water. Only 2 strikes, lot's of gutters.

I wish I had a bowling mate. Theres two I could ask, one talks a lot, talk the leg off a donkey. He's an ass to say it plainly.
The other one is a jock, and I dont mean scotland. To him playing basketball is a good competitive sport, he's probably above the sport of 10-pin. He's an ass to say it plainly.

I wonder what happens if you show up at the bowling alley alone... to be continued...

[FuckinA]

Wow, man, bring a video camera! I feel a lot of kodakmoments coming up there.
You don't have to have realy a partner there, right? I went bowling with  bunch of drunks (including me), and it was great!

[Caesar dude]

You don't have to have realy a partner there, right?

I think the reverend means a bowling partner not a life partner my friend! But hey that's just like my opinion man. 

[not_exactly_a_lightweight]

ah whatever. I dont bowl, so I must have this week-long shabbas
And its too cold to golf

[FuckinA]

Playing golf, in my opinion, man, is also a very dude sport. I myself find sports very heavy, man. I do meditate, drink beer and play metal. I count that as sports.

True story from The Righteous Dude:

Now, I am not a good bowler. Being left handed, and having to rely on house balls, I have to throw the massive 16 pounders. Not good, man, not good.

One game, though, I threw a horrible one. It curved way too much, man. It launched into the gutter right next to the pins.

And bounced off the wall, knocking the 10 pin into the 9.

So, The Righteous Dude got a 2 with a gutter ball.

Now, I just play on the Wii. There's nothing more Dude than bowling with your Special Lady Friend (The Mrs. Righteous Dude), in your underwear.

[FuckinA]

So, underware bowling... sounds good. I saw some Lady's there, and I was picturing them in their underware

[meekon5]

actually Paul Merton had a program on UK TV where he went bowling with some German Naturists!

Not a very pretty sight but it holds potential.

Were they threatening castration?
