Hey, does anyone here like to bowl? I certainly do, I'm in a bowling league. We're going bowling in a few hours.. My average, last week, was 141, for those of you interested >.>

Bowling is fun, A good game I'll hit a bit past 100, a bad game, I'll get like 40. I'm not super good or anything but it's always fun to get together with friends and go once in a while. I've done pretty funny things in my bowling history. My first time bowling I managed to get the ball in the next lane.

That always works. I've managed to score, as my highest, 204. I sent the bowling ball in the other lane and made a strike >.> XD sometimes it can be evil, but in a league, it certainly is fun. We're in a homeschooled league, and it's sort of.. dwindling.. My team ended up being the one to take first place every year, and it sort of lost all competition. So, we're down to 3 teams (including ourselves) and the infamous vacant team. The vacant team sounds easy enough to beat, but it's harder than you think. You hafta basically beat your own handicap/average. (Hope I'm not going too overboard with this) Other than that, I can't really be a good bowling coach, cause I haven't learned to hook the ball quite yet, but I'm learning.
(Hooking it is when it has that spin, for those who don't know) But, yesh, it is a fun game.

If I try to make it spin, it's a disaster. Usually a gutter ball, but I've managed to drop it at the wrong time and make it go behind me. That's hilarious when it happends.

>.> I haven't thrown it behind me before, but I have managed to drop it on my foot. I've cut my foot with a bowling ball (dunno how) Everything's great in the game of bowling! I can spin it and not manage to get a gutter ^_- although, the gutter sometimes happens when I don't do it right. You kinda hafta stand at the first arrow from the middle, and throw it right there with a spin, if you did it right, it'll curve over.

I have returned from the bowling alley! I scored a 107, 151, and a 152.. my average was 155, so it's going down >.< I hoped to score what I did last week. (177, 145, 193) but, I didn't.

By the way, I got a warning in the bowling alley. Two more warnings and I'm kicked out XD I'm still a very bad kid, even if I don't mean to >.> *whistles as he knocks over a vase and blames it on the ants*

I've been really wanting to go bowling lately for some reason, and to drink white russians... Bowling is fun, so are white russians.

Bowling while drunk.. now THAT is something to see.

Oh man, trust me, you don't want to get drunk, then it becomes hard again, and the ball gets so heavy.... No, but relaxing for a few hours, playing a couple of games, and sitting back talking and drinking some is a lot of fun.

Playing at like 1:00am is also lot of fun, it's usually then where I get final scores of 30 and such. I hit 100 on the dot once though, pretty cool. I was going for 69.

Midnight+ bowling is fun, you are correct sir!

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:2100, old post ID:31532

Heh, I have an own style of bowling that's like drunk bowling.. I stand on one side of the lane and bowl it to the other side.. It's very hard.. most pins I've knocked down that way is 5 XD

And so that doesn't SOUND like I'm drunk, I stand in the lane (example) 39 and bowl into lane 40.

I like to bowl, though I suck like a Hoover at it. My last score was 98

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:2100, old post ID:31537

Ugh. 98? I've come to the conclusion that y'all rarely bowl. I should teach y'all how to.. we just all need to congregate at one point.. and try not to trash the place until AFTER the party starts.

You know how must bowling lanes the lane starts maybe like 5 feet away from where you sit? well just for fun I did not bother going all the way to the lane, I just picked up the ball, went back a few steps and shot it from there, I managed to get an accidental gutter ball, where the ball never actually touched the floor of the lane. That was hilarious

Yay, lol

I should teach y'all how to bowl >.> What I like doing though.. is getting a 7 or 8 pound bowling ball.. and just throwing it down the lane as hard as I can XD I normally use a 16, so it's easy for me to basically throw it with one hand. I've cracked a bowling ball that way though Didn't tell anyone.

Disasters strike(no pun intended) when I try to shoot it with as much force as I can.

Puns are fun though. Always intend to put in puns! Puns and yogurt is what makes the world go 'round.

i might go bowling with a couple friends today, last week i got a score of 44, at least it was fun

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:2100, old post ID:32147

44! With or without bumpers?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:2100, old post ID:32149

without... im not THAT bad

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:2100, old post ID:32150

I can teach ya. There's little dots on the ground.. Put your left foot on the dot to the left of the middle, and then put your right foot on the middle. Then bowl inbetween the middle and first one to the right arrow on the lane. Keep your arm straight and bowl it down. If you can put a little spin on it, you can get it in a strike zone.

too complicated, i cant spin the ball anyway, not that it matters, my friend bought me candy after anyway

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:2100, old post ID:32153

I'm just bowling for the candy! *throws ball mindlessly down the lane* Candy now? O.O
