You'd think someone that just bowled as well as I did would be happy, but god damnit...my last game tonight was marred by one of the lanes fucking up for 15 minutes, which ruined my momentum. I started the game with 3 strikes, then that lane fucked up, after which I naturally was unable to continue the chain of strikes. I bowled 2 spares, then got back into form with 4 more strikes, then was just so nervous and pissed off by the 10th frame that I missed an easy spare. On the night, I bowled 202, 213, and 233 for a 648 series, my 2nd best ever. That last game though...if not for the FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT BOWLING ALLEY FUCKING UP FOR THE GAZILLIONTH TIME, I might have had a fucking PERFECT GAME!

At the very least, I would have had 9 strikes in a row no sweat, which would have been my best run of strikes ever. Beyond that, it wouldn't have mattered...I could have thrown a split in the 10th frame and still bowled my best game ever (258 is my best). This is why I'm so reluctant to bowl tournaments...if something like this ever happened in a tournament, all the pent up anger over the last few years would come out, and I'd probably beat the shit out of someone. If there's one thing I hate, it's someone else forcing me to screw up. Fuck that bowling alley to fucking hell in Rosie O'Donnell's asshole. Fuck. <img src=smilies/banghead.gif>

I hate alleys like that. There's only one here (St. Augustine,FL) and it's fairly well maintained.
When I lived in Ct, I used to bowl Kegler tourneys with Rick and Mike, both good friends of mine. Rick was a righthander and Mike was a lefty like me.
That night,Rick couldn't miss the pocket. Rick was only carrying a 173 average and I was carrying 179 and Mike was 197. Rick was whipping our asses. Mike figured out what was wrong and clued me in.
These lanes had probably not been resurfaced in seven or eight years. The middle, where the pocket was, actually had a groove worn to it from the right side. The left side was untouched and unoiled. We were skating brooklyn the first game.
We ended up with decent scores, but considered coming back with an unruly mob of lefthanded bowlers to lynch the lanes' owner.
Nice bowling, Crooky. <img src=smilies/thumb.gif>

My dad bowled a perfect game in a tournament once. The whole damn place was gathered around him for his last 2 strikes and it was quiet as hell when he went to hit has last one. Phew, that was awesome :D

If I had bowled a perfect game, I would have gotten a gold ring. No, I won't cheer up!

But on a lighter note, I fucking aced my Advanced Calc exam today....fuck yes!
