Note:  Somewhat lengthy post.  You have been warned.

I bowled at Rinaldi's today with some friends; and let me say, alot of interesting things happened (mainly involving me) today.

Here goes nothing:

These ones happened on a pair with 5 other bowlers I bowled with.  There were alot of Brooklyns, washouts, and nasty splits on this pair (reverse block).

*  One of the 5 other bowlers I bowled with on this pair left a stone 5-pin...  TWICE in the same game.  The strange thing is that his ball hit the pocket dead on both times.  That is the strangest thing I've ever seen.  How the heck do you leave a pocket stone 5?
*  I left the 1-3-4-6-7 twice, and picked up one of them.  The other one got chopped...
*  I picked up a 1-10 split.
*  I got a strike without hitting the pocket.  lol.  The ball went head on into the 4-pin, and the domino effect took out the rest.
*  I knocked off the 4-6-8-9 off a full rack.  I picked up the spare though.
*  I won a dollar off a small bet.    I left a 6-count split (3-7-9-10), and one of the bowlers said that she would give me a dollar if I could hit three of the four pins left.  Being a lefty, I obviously went for and picked the 3-9-10.  

The following ones happened on a different pair.  I bowled these ones by myself, after the others left.

*  I picked up the 2-6-7-10 split.
*  I left a Greek church AND a 4-count split in the same game.  High hits.  =/

I've had other interesting days on the lanes,  such as:

*  One game about 5 months ago: Left a pocket 7-10, both pins ringing.  How insulting.
*  One game about 3 months ago:  Leaving pocket 6-7's three consecutive times in the same game.
*  One game about 2 months ago:  One game in which every open frame I had was a split (five splits, everything else was strikes).

...but today takes the cake.  Has anybody else had days like this?
