Get your bowl on! (No, I’m not preparing you for a haircut)

As we discussed which bowling alley to use for our third-quarter outing, faces were whimsical, recalling the bowling alleys of childhood. Several people shot off spirited suggestions:

• “If it doesn’t smell musty, it’s not a real bowling alley!”
• “If they clean their shoes more than once per year, it’s too much!”
• “The beer should be nearly transparent!”

Some were insecure over their lack of bowling prowess and thought we should institute some rules to level the playing field.

Suggested ground rules:

• Players must face away from the pins and push the ball through their legs with 2 hands.
• Balls must slow down considerably before hitting pins.
• Balls must teeter dangerously close to gutter at least 10 times per game.

There were also some confessions:

• Annette admitted that she has mad bowling skills to go with her mad design skills; she even has her own ball.
• I admitted that my dad used to own a bowling alley, and I was “forced” to join a junior bowling league in my adolescence. I recently stumbled upon my old bowling ball. The finger holes are now too small and it’s very light-weight, which caused me to fantasize about popularizing a new technique that I would call “Shock-Put-It”; bowling alley owners beware.

All kidding aside, EatonGolden is prepared to get gritty, and get bowling! Stay tuned to find out how it goes…
