Are you famous for anything?
« on: May 12, 2006, 05:12:27 AM »
Bowling related, that is.

Like having the front 11 strikes and then throwing a gutter ball in the fill shot, for a whopping 290.  Or back to back lillies.  You ever do something that no one seems to forget?

I'm boring so I don't have anything.

Last week of my league about 1 year ago. The high scratch game was a 279, and i had been trying to beat it for a while, plus i really wanted a 300. . .

got the first 11 in a row, had the whole bowling alley at my back. I had never gotten this close to a perfect since my 289 about 2 years ago.
Pressure got to me and a let the ball go too early. striaght through the nose, leaving the big four for a 296
This was a HUGE league, talking 30-40 4 person teams with parents, and at least 95% were behind me, so the pressure was intense. People still talk about it all the time, it was the first 296 game by a youth in that house.

Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

MY INFERNOS WILL SMOKE YOU!!!

Left the 1-2-4-6-10, super-washout, went through it again, then my next time up in league did it again.

Once I bounced a 10 pin back to the foul line!

My signature says it all.  Both the 294 and 295 were in the same year.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!

I am known for the shirt I bowl league in. They say they can see the shirt from one end of the house and know exactly who it is. The upper half of the shirt is blue with light clouds & the lower half is of a sunset. Just got in the habit of wearing this shirt on league nights.

I've got a hockey record. I took off my skate and tried to stab someone; I'm the only guy who ever tried to do that.

Bowling related... Hmmm, I once brought the 9-pin out of the deck and nearly all the way back to the foul line during a local sweeper. Everybody stopped and watched as the pin continued working its way back toward me. That will teach that stubborn SOB to stand!

Tweener, there's a guy who used to live here who won a high roller and didn't shoot a game over 180 (if memory serves - at least most of his games were in the 160-180 range).  Named Scott Thompson.
