HORRIBLE PIN CARRY!!!!!!!!!!!! WORST BALL EVER!!!!!!
« on: May 22, 2013, 07:31:49 PM »
I bought my Ebonite Tornado a few days ago and went down to my favorite AMF center in Oklahoma and look at the terrible pin carry I got.

It's pretty sad that so many people are just looking for something to drill someone about. This guy sad nothing about the people living there. It is crazy that those pins were still standing. That's all the guy was saying. Geez

He did not talk about the pins in a grown up manner.  He could of posted a picture and said "wow, the tornado was very wicked but some how the pins on that lane didn't fall down, here is a picture that shows it"  But no, he purposely created a joke that involved the word tornado and used it as a play on words to create a punch line that involved bowling and the destruction of the bowling center. 

That's a yuck yuck fest if you ask me.  Looking for attention at the expense of the tornado and the destruction from that tornado.

There is no sensitivity here.  There already is a thread that was some what of a joke about the picture.  Does everyone have to create their own "joke" thread so they think they are on stage at Caroline's.   

There is sensitivity and then there is beating a dead horse with the same tired jokes about the tornado. 

It's a bowling joke in poor taste.   Why didn't somebody make a bowling joke about Boston or Connecticut.   Just because there is bowling involved and this is a bowling web site doesn't make the joke any less stupid than if somebody would of made a joke about those other tragic events.

How about I make a joke about Boston and use Lane #1 in it.   What would you all say to that one?   

I thought so....

that's not even a good joke.........the fact that a huge tornado ripped through a bowling alley and all 10 pins on one lane were still standing is astonishing. using lane #1 in correlation to the boston marathon couldn't even be made into a joke because nothing about bowling was related to the incident. its not like there was a picture of a pressure cooker with a bowling pin inside of it.....douche.

I could make a very inappropriate joke about Lane #1 and Boston very easily and I really mean inappropriate to the point where it would offend many people.

Would I do that, no way because there is a way people should act and respect those who have lost life and lost things important to them in times of tragic events.

This is not the time and place to make jokes.   

Go drink your garbage beer Mr Boh and enjoy all the yuck yuck jokes to your hearts content.

Aren't you the one who has a wife that needed a heart transplant or some major surgery and you were asking for donations and such.

How about I make fun of people that need transplants or need major surgery to live.  Wouldn't that be a fun yuck yuck joke. 

Since we all need to not be so sensitive.  Why not...right?

And I'm done with this thread.  It's all fun and games till it hits your own back yard and then the reality sets in that the silly jokes and poking fun isn't as fun anymore as it use to be. 

After seeing the destruction that hurricane Sandy had on my home state.  So much destruction and heart ache that people still have today, the yuck yuck jokes about the this tornado don't sit well.

I still think that it is astonishing some of the jokes.  I grew up bowling there and living in Moore and no matter what I see, I could not joke about it.  So many people lost everything and some lost thier lives.

Assuming this is referencing my thread:

My thread was simply the posting of the picture and reporting the objective facts that a rack stayed put (minus the 7 pin) throughout a tornado.  The intent of my thread was not to be funny but rather to post an astonishing, MISC BOWLING RELATED photo.  So if you want to reference another "create their own joke thread" for "Caroline's", you will have to look elsewhere.

GT I looked at just your post and I never read the rest of the replies.  I was going off of the OP's information to me that your post was full of jokes.   I didn't bother to read the jokes, no need to.  Your first post on there was informative and shared the picture and the story.   If there are jokes on there it wasn't of your own creation. 

The OP says your post had a bunch of jokes in them.  Not your fault if it did.

I opened the thread "HORRIBLE PIN CARRY, WORST BALL EVER"  to read about a bowling ball that this poster might of not liked.  I didn't open the thread to be treated to a poor taste yuck yuck joke about an Ebonite Tornado,  "My Favorite" Oklahoma bowling center and a picture of the destruction with a punch line being the pins still standing.

You had to spend more than 5 minutes thinking out this yuck yuck joke.  The intent was to be funny at the expense of a tragic event. 

The title itself was created to trick people into looking at the thread and the yuck yuck joke.  I give the poster a thumbs up for creativity in design of his joke.  Other than that I don't agree with it.

It's sad that people think of making a joke right away and then feel justified with their actions. 

Like I said before, we only make jokes I guess when it's convenient and not that much of a tragedy.  This was a relatively "minor" tragic event so let's make a joke.

Good Times topic piece was not a joke.  There was no real jokes added by members either.   This thread is useless and this Skwira001 must be a 3rd or 4th grader to enter something like this on a chat forum.
