My college room mate shot a 290 the hard way (11 in a row - ditch) while trying out for the PSU bowling team.

I have a similar, but not as painful 270 game.  4 in a row, gutter spare, sheet.  Every ball that stayed on the lane was dead flush, better than any of my 300's.    The ball felt a little loose the first few shots, but I hated to change anything while striking.  I kept thinking of Norm Duke always fiddling with his thumb hole, even when seemingly releasing it well.

I did also provided a free resurface for everyone on the pair another night.  Ditched a ball attempting a 10 pin.  Ball hit a seem or something, jumped straight up into the air and smashed the pindeck light.  They vacuumed for quite a while, but everyone's balls were well scratched by the end of the night.

I was the first person to throw over a 1000 for four games (1024)(205,235,289,297) in our intercity league back in 1994.

My brother in law bowls no thumb and he has had 22 or more 300's (jerk ) he makes it look so easy. Even when our center puts out a crappy shot he still manages to keep his 223 avg.

A few things I am famous for.

1.  Simply the way I throw the ball.  People have come up to me after getting back into town from bowling tournaments saying that someone was talking about me during the tournament.

2.  Have two 300s in the same set on three different occasions.

3.  Highest triplicate in the State of Georgia (269 x 3 = 807).  Funny thing is that if I strike out in the 10th frame the 3rd game, I shoot 279.  I am sure you guys can figure out what happened in the 10th.

4.  Shot the first two sanctioned 300 games (on back to back nights) and first sanctioned 800, including the house record 843 at Oasis Bowl.


Not sure if Jabroni is going to post.  But, if not, it might explain a few things to other BR members.  He was bowing YABA one morning.  He said the ball stuck on his thumb, went straight into the air, landed on his head, and split his head open where he had to get stitches.  I still laugh when I hear about that.

If anyone out there is worried about the scores being too high, try duckpin!!

Not bowling related, but a long time ago when I was 13, or 14 I lost a baseball glove during a game and had to call timeout to look for it. I played 1st base and threw the glove to stop a foul ball, took about 4 minutes to find the glove...... as far as I know the opposing team still talks about it at the ballfield today!!!!!!!! and I am 31.

Saws are made to cut ANYTHING including 10 pins

I finished that big gi-normious burger from The Castaways or Showboat whatever you wanna call it now... I got a shirt for it, and then I got drunk and it all came out.
