Types of bowlers that crack you up around the lanes.
« on: September 30, 2009, 01:15:19 AM »
The spoiled rich kid:
1. I was visiting a pro shop and a kid comes in with 6 or 7 balls, all of them massacred. "My parents bought me a spinner for Christmas and I've been practicing"
2. A kid walks into my brother's pro shop and says he wants a new Jigsaw. here's the catch he only throws a 12lbs ball. My brother tries to explain to him he is really wasting his money and lite weight equipment uses different weight blocks, and he can get the same reaction out of a less expensive ball. Nope Mm and Dad say I can buy this one, I want this one.

  • The flirt, that you either have to go hunt down to get to bowl or skip because he's too busy schmoozing with the female bowlers all across the house. 50/50 on if this guy is married too.




I have these two on my team. The drinker likes his Coors Light. And we jokingly call the 'flirt' guy Sniffer.

  • Likes-to-smoke-guy. He needs to run outside to smoke every other frame b/c the state banned indoor smoking. Every year at the captain''s meeting, random bitching breaks out when the secretary says he''s coming back

  • The guy who sets up on the approach than takes two big steps forward - than same two big steps backward (w/o turning around) - and finally he proceeds to the line. This guy always seems to be up when I am.

  • Failure-to-launch-guy. The teammate who talks about the waitress all night, every week. And does nothing.

The 220 average who screams about handicap after being beat out of doubles or a bracket even if it was scratch.

here's one:  

      The guy who walks to the line  with a backswing that doesnt go past his hip, shoots off the corner  and tops every shot,   starts practice  with 2 strikes  and   tells everyone in the place  he's on pace to shoot 840

The drunk bowler that believes that if he drinks more he'll bowl better but ends up shooting about 100 pins under his average by the end of the night.

the guy who doesn't know how to properly release the ball for it to hook, releasing it in an awkward way, nearly injuring his elbow.

then he turns around to check if anyone was watching his ball hook 8 boards on a dry lane.

I'm the year round shorts guy, and get a lot of crap during the winter months here in Illinois, i find it funny.

But I'm sure its been posted but the Body English guy trying to get the ball to move like hes moving is a personal favorite.

Also we have the guy who takes 2 minutes of the approach and then will tell you he rushed a shot by not taking enough time on the approach.

And last but not least the guy that runs the pro shop, has 20 balls, can't even get his own stuff to fit right and has one lucky 299 but is according to him the best bowler and its always the lanes and the house's fault, never his because he is the man. He also has to walk out every shot and says he gets tapped for ever flat ten pin he leaves because he throws the ball 18 mph with no hand.

Hate to rant on about the last guy but I bowl on his team and it just irks me, this is fortunately the last year i'll be bowling with him.

The guy or girl on the team when they leave a spare they grab another ball right away and get up on the approach immediately without looking left or right. Just love being double jumped. It's like "hey I wasn't here or anything."

We have this guy in our league, before he throws his first shot he raises the ball as far as he can over his head.  Then after his first shot, turns his body parallel to the lane and if he strikes does this dramatic, 5 second arm pump.  It's in the motion like he's pulling an invisible bow & arrow.  One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.


wth...we want video! Get a camera and put it on youtube!

The ones that believe every shot should be a strike.

They say every shot was pocket..  LOL
