Excellent! This guy should try bowling "Overhand"!!

New rules for bowling
Supplemental Rules for Bowling
If you holler "overs!" before the ball passes the arrows, you get to throw the ball over, unless of course, you get a strike. In which case, you can renege on the "overs".
When your team is about 10 marks down in the 8th or 9th frame, you can invoke the rule "First Team Through Bowling Wins the Game", and your team still has a chance.
After a member of the opposing team bowls 4 strikes in a row, he/she must bowl the next 4 frames blindfolded. If he/she continues to strike, his/her shoelaces will be tied together for 2 frames.
When you leave the 10-pin and you know you can't make the spare, but another member of your team can, invoke the "Designated Bowler" rule.
After you have 4 splits in one game, you may say "Kings X" and take those 4 frames over. However, if you split on the 2nd time around, you accept it. After all, "Fair is Fair".
If your ball goes in the gutter and jumps back onto the lane, knocking dow pins, by golly, you get them! That's much harder than to knock them down the conventional way. Good bowling should be recognized.
A ball should be declared dead when you bowl 3 games without a strike. It shall be the owners privilege to decide on the disposition of said dead ball - Burial at Sea, Dropped from an airplane over a live volcano, or a simple burial in the city dump. For a small fee, a league officer can be bribed to deliver a short eulogy.

I could have gotten rid of my ball years ago if I had known this rule. :D

now this one was intended!
Good trick shot!
ahh, finaly remembered where i had seen this happen before.
an episode of home improvements (tim allan) where he is out bowling with his wife. gets distracted during his down stroke and launches the ball across the wrong lane and has a strike: "well, anyone can knock the pins down in their own lane!"
Some friends and I once had a rule that if you rolled a double-gutter ball frame, you had to bowl what we called caveman-style until you knocked at least one pin down. Caveman-style is throwing it with two hands from the side, and grunting/roaring loudly while doing it. I got several 9's rolling caveman-style and a one or two spares, but never a strike.
Doing it Osku style! 8)

Righteous bowling, Cc dude. (http://dudeism.com/smf/Themes/default/images/post/thumbup.gif)
I need to get out bowling, maybe take the kids :)
I have a crushed spine bone and arthritis type condition so basically do not lift over 5 pounds and dont walk to far well. Bowling would be on the painful side... Is there anything you dudes could suggest as alternatives to bowling?
You may want to consider tai chi or some other type of slow no-impact activity. Depending on how bad your hip & back are, even this might not work. Check out YouTube for some videos.

Yes, I do cope and manage with those, however was curious of bowling like alternatives. I do get and see how bowling is metaphor for something that keeps you happy and what have you.
I came across this on the net...

It is called Skittles, not the candy and what have, but old style bowling like from England. Seems cool, anyone try this before? There is also a bar table version of it.
