So. i'm i a bowling league. candle pins. I love bowling. I suck with my 88 average but nothing beats drinking beers and bowling on friday nights!

Anyone ever watch the PBA? I love watching it. Norm Duke is such a beast. Bohn the Third is nasty too, I can see why bowling worked for him and i see why he is not on TMZ ever.


Who bowls or watches bowling, CJSchenider? I wuld guess you do since you are older than death.

I was in a bowling league when I was growing up. I played pretty much every sport I could, but bowling was one of my favorites. I actually got decent, but never more than that.

I just got a new bowling ball a little while ago so I've been bowling like crazy. Third game with it I threw a 220.

Alright, let me just hop in my time machine and I'll be right back...

But seriously. When I was around 12 I did a bunch of different bowling leagues and what not. But I stopped really caring about bowling when I turned 16 and just started to pick it back up at the age of 20. I'm the most inconsistent bowler ever. Along with the 220 game, I had a 110, a 170, and the game after the 220 I had a 130.

I actually started to curve it a couple months back. I don't bowl much, and my curve isn't accurate at all.. and I don't do it all the time, but I can definitely curve it!

All I do is leave my thumb out of the ball and release it so your hand is on the side of the ball rather than on the bottom.. As if you were giving a handshake, if that makes sense.

I've always wanted to try candlepin bowling. Except I haven't been able to find one that does it out in Arizona.

Bowling is awesome, I haven't gone in a while though. I bowled a 200 once but my average is probably somewhere around 140.

Pretty much exactly this for me, as well.

I have been bowling a little more lately, just going to the alley next to campus. I miss the old days, with our self-made league and cards.

A few of us from my work were in a bowling league, we sucked horribly compared to everyone else, I had a 111 average, best on our team was 140 or so.

No. My five year old son consistantly bowls a 250 on that dame thing and I struggle to get 130 at times. No way in hell Wii bowling counts.
