You know you Bowl too much When...
« on: September 02, 2009, 03:47:28 AM »
This was a topic several years ago, I put it together into a top 40 list. I just ran across the file while cleaning folders on my PC. Its old but I think its still funny.

You know you Bowl too much When...  

40. You call in sick to work, but show up that night (102 Fever and all) for league.

39. Your bowling bags double as luggage for non-bowling (what's that???) vacations.

38. You brag about your bowling performances in your AOL profile.

37. Driving around you see black ice and wonder what ball, surface and pin placement would you need to hook the ball on it.

36. You care about the difference between green and blue Scotchbrite pads, or 409 and Orange Clean.

35. You own more bowling balls than pairs of dress shoes.

34. You see various objects and wonder if they would make good core shapes.

33. People ask what are you doing, and you proudly tell them your cleaning your balls and you can't understand why they are laughing.

32. During your walk, your left arm has a natural swing, but your right arm as a follow through.

31. You play a bowling game on your cell phone between frames on league night.

30. You buy a case of new bowling pins just to say you have them. (Still not sure what you are going to do with them!)

29. You keep all the old broken balls from your local lanes to make sculptures in the garden.

28. Your dogs stay in the garage and your bowling balls are brought in for the winter.

27. You sleep with your bowling ball.

26. Planning a vacation and the first thing you do is see what hotel(s) are closet to a bowling center.

25. You are in the bowling alley more then your own house.

24. You walk past anything even remotely resembling a bowling pin, and think to yourself, "I could pick that up if I had my ~insert favorite ball here~!"

23. Someone says look at that rack and you think about 10 pins on a lane.

22. You give a moment of silence for dead wood.

21. Your spare room has more balls than the alley.

20. You go on a 200 mile trip away from home and you are heard frequently saying, "I've bowled there" every time you pass a center.

19. Your work e-mail password is the name of one of your bowling balls.

18. You have to change your work schedule to fit your league schedule.

17. You have your bowling buddies on all of your speed dial numbers and you have to look up the numbers of your family to call them.

16. Your garage has more cleaners than under your sink.

15. You can tell everyone EVERY shot that you played that evening.

14. Your children know more about bowling than most adults.

13. You practice your 5-Step approach while walking around.

12. You see different items around you fall down, and it reminds you of pin carry.

11. Your having sex, and you moan out drilling patterns and bowling balls.

10. You tape football to watch the PBA show live.

9. You pull into the bowling alley parking lot the same time as the owner and he recognizes your car and waits for you to talk on the way in.

8. You buy pants based upon their "bowling comfort".

7. Your girlfriend sits in the back of you car and your balls are in the front seat.

6. Someone is talking to you and you are constantly swinging your bowling arm.

5. You always arrive home past midnight even though you finished your last game at 10pm because you have to discuss the evening's bowling with the guys.

4. You have ever been asked to remove your bowling balls from the sink.

3. You start giving the pins personal names.

2. Your bowling forearm is twice the size of your other as is your thumb.

You have several pairs of bowling shoes to match your clothing, depending on your pants color.

You have a vanity car tag with something about bowling. Like BWL10 or 10X12

Bowling is like life. Sometimes you are the ball. Other times you are the pins.
