Slappie 9 #1 April 25, 2002 I'm sure most of you who know me and remember me saying I was going to quit skydiving and take up bowling...Well I tried out bowling!! IT SUCKS!! My best game with "rental" equipment was a 124.. I was beat by 2 12yo little girls a couple of lanes over and they laughed at me. ALOT. Also I never realised how much work it is to repeatedly toss a 15 to 20lbs ball down the lanes and try to make it hit 10 little pins. When I saw the pins up close they're pretty good sized things. When you look at them from the end of the lane they are SMALL!!!!! Twas to much work and I can't figure it out.. So I quit bowling too.Now I have no hobby or sport I'm currently "current" in.. any suggestions? Maybe a porn-star? Maybe golf? I dunno...I may come back to skydiving but I'm still skeptical about that because there are some "meanies" in this sport who tend to pick on you...

Sebazz1 2 #5 April 25, 2002 That's funny you brought up bowling. Yeterday we had an office staff appreciation day and the partners took most of us to go bowling during the middle of the day. Needless to say I suck at bowling, I suck at bowling, therefore bowling sucks. Getting beat by the 60 year old office administrator and all the secretaries is just plain embarrasing. The damn ball won't go straight. What a stupid sport bowling is. Stick to Skydiving my friends. All of you. Once you've crossed the line society will never accept you back. And they use hobbies like golfing and bowling to belittle you............SEBAZZ....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man, if you couldn't handle the razzing from two 12-year-old girls, then maybe skydiving isn't for you.Maybe you should try something less competitive.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChromeBoy 0 #10 April 25, 2002 You just have to have fun with it. Here try this...1. Before throwing the ball place the ball over your head and yell "Yabba Dabba Doo".2. Hold the ball in front of you at eye level and sing to it.3. Take off running down the lane and slide with the ball on the wax and release it when you stop sliding. Then try to walk back slipping on the wax and yell out to everyone, "I'm a dork fish, they caught me on a corndog".4. Name your ball testicle. When people go to pick up their ball yell out "stay away from my testicle>"5. Drink one beer for every pin you knock down.If I wanted to hear from an asshole, I would fart.

Skyrose7 0 #12 April 25, 2002 bowling is ok, but it is so much more fun when drunk--then you have an exuse for getting a 70...or 40The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slowfaller 0 #17 April 25, 2002 Ahhhh, such good stories from the bowling alley. Standing on the ball return channel cover between lanes to give encourgment will get you kicked out, bowling shirtless will get you kicked out, getting arrested at the bowling alley bar will get you banned, slapping the girls asses as they go is always fun. Sneaking up behind somebody who is bowling and then when they release they're ball I would throw mine so both would hit the pins before the gate would come down. It takes a little bit to get it right. Hitting the gate gets you kicked out.Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDBoston 0 #18 April 25, 2002 I only have 2 questions:1. How the hell can you score that high drunk?, and 2. If you bowl sober, why?J/KThanks,Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone else saw I was talking "tongue in cheek" you guys need to mellow out and not go for the jugular of some poor unsuspecting newbies throat!! "What if" I was a newbie to the sport an was complaining that some of the people on a DZ was giving me a hard time? Would you tell me to leave the sport of skydiving and take up BOWLING???
