You're a rookie pro bowler with 129 points going into the ninth frame, and that's not the worst of it. Let's cut to the video

I'm a 100 bowler. Mrs Explosion and I had our first date at a bowling alley. First game, we both bowled 100s. Second game, put a wager of coming back to my place if I won. Bowled a 260.

I've always thought of pro bowling as something a little creepy and weird, going back to the 70's and Wide World of Sports. This clip underscores that for me. How did nobody have to at least suppress a giggle or hide a smirk, including the poor sap who made such an ass out of himself? Because they are all sick weirdos, that's why.

That gave me an idea. Bowling golf. What makes bowling so farking boring after a short while is the fact that you're rolling a ball down the same flat, straight lane. If you have good muscle memory then it's farking simple, which is why very the idea of professional bowling is silly. But what if you introduce some variables to the lane? Cuves, bumps, ridges? Each lane is different and you move through a course of 10 lanes instead of staying put. Bowling golf.

But apparently, you can't drink on off days while eating fried chicken, or the entire team goes down the tube.

They've got a videa game like that at Dave & Busters and places like that. You're bowling with a stationary ball that sits atop a pedestal and you roll and turn to the build up speed over hills and around obstacles on the video screen. They have all sorts of "courses" such as woods, canyons, city scenes, etc. It's actually a pretty good upper body workout.

Heh... sdsu used to make you take a phys ed class so you'd graduate as a "well rounded" person (at least that's what the advisor told me).
I thought it was pretty stupid, but eventually settled on a bowling class because I could smoke and drink during while bettering myself.
Most friends chose surfing for their off-campus course and thought I was an idiot ("dude... bowling?"). They were probably right, but i had a farking blast.

Fark a video game, I'm talking the real thing. The shadow boxing game is a good workout and fun but totally different from stepping in a ring.
Yeah, I realize it would be a biatch to wax the lanes, but it could be done.

They already do that with the oil. If you aren't throwing a plastic ball or a straight ball, you might need a completely different shot than you normally use based on the oil pattern.
I'd like to see them try to fool the bowlers more at the professional level- don't tell them what oil pattern was used, let the bowlers figure it out themselves. Even better, mix it up between the pair. Have one lane drier than normal and the other oiled extra. As long as each pair was oiled the same it would be fair for everyone.

They built a bowling alley at the student union at CSULB. No alcohol from what I recall, you have to go to the Nugget to get liquor on campus, and the Nugget gets shut down regularly for serving to minors

I like that idea. For the record, that was an inadvertent period I placed between "bowling" and "golf", so I actually came up with the idea.

My wife was watching when it happened. Audible gasp. I saw the replays and it looked holy moly.
That shiat is reaaaal slick. Not sure why he held up, since I wasn't watching the rest of it, but the impetus kept him going forward and boom.

I'm about a 140-150 average, but have maddeningly never broke 200. 198, 192, plenty of 180s. Even worse is that I've had plenty of games where I started out the first 5 or 6 frames on pace to shatter 200, but nope, had to fark it up.

One of the funniest things to watch is people who don't realize how slippery the lanes are past the foul line step over and fall on their ass....especially satisfying when it's some 16-20 Y.O. asshole with his hat on at a 45* angle and his jeans around his knees who thinks screaming at his buddies or hitting them in the nutsack while they bowl is funny....
