You might be a bowling addict if you.....
« on: May 13, 2007, 02:13:47 PM »
this is just a rip off of jeff foxworthy i was bored today so i thought of some glad to hear some of your jokes like this

if you ask your team mates to carry the other 6 balls in for you, you might be a bowling addict

If somebody has every said "Nice Balls" and you say "ya i left my other 4 at home" you might be a bowling addict

If you go through more ball cleaner than dish washing soap, you might be a bowling addict

If you went to nationals with a trailer full of bowling equipment, you might be a bowling addict

If you spend more money on your new equipment than what your crappy used car cost, you might be a bowling addict

if a chick asks how big your balls are and you say 15 lb. because you get better pin action with those, you might just be an idiot

i'm going to think of more tomorrow any of u got some?

You can name every bowling ball you've ever owned yet can't remember what you had for lunch yesterday.

You know exactly how long it takes to get an item from any of the popular online bowling stores.

You build a rack to hold all of your bowling balls even though the tile project you started a year ago in your home still isn't finished.

Any large purchase you make is stated in terms of number of bowling balls for the cost.

One of the priorities on your next vehicles is number of bowling balls it will hold.

Your dream house has a bowling alley in it.

The list of requirements for your next house includes a room big enough to hold all your bowling gear.

You can't live in a second story apartment because the floor isn't rated to hold that much weight (bowling ball collection).

how about these:
your wife asks why you have 6 wrist supports ( your wife calls them "arm thingies") when you only use 1 arm to bowl with
you are working on your release in the grocery store and she tells you to knock it off because you look like a fool
she tells you if you put as much effort into your love life as your bowling, you could be a prn star  (hmmm, i may have to think that one over)
you put pillows up at the end of the hall so you can roll the ball into the pillow to check your release

You walk in the house after getting off work, kiss the wife and go straight to the Wii for some bowling.

Don’t Wii bowl on league night, it might mess up your timing.

Are checking the bowling boards a few times a day at work, even post while at work J

Try to think of new creative excuses to tell the wife on why you need a new bowling item.

For your birthday, all you get is bowling related items.

If your car breaks down on the way to league and instead of calling AAA first, you call your teammate to explain the situation and advise to to slow the pace in the first game...

As you're waiting for AAA you don't measure the time in minutes but
frames. "Okay they should be in the 3rd, 7th...where is this tow truck?"

When the tow truck arrives, instead of riding with the driver to the auto shop, you pull your gear out of the truck and hail a cab. The cabbies notices your "anxiety" and your "luggage" and assumes you're about to miss a flight.

"You won't miss your flight, I'll get you to the Airport, in hurry"
"No get me to the Bowling Alley in a hurry, I need to make it by the 5th frame"

Then you arrive at the center, hauling butt so fast the wheels on your roller are burning rubber. You receive a rousing welcome from the league and proceed to bowl game of 20 pins and 70 pins below your average.

While you're pissed at your bowling performance you're happy to be there. Why because you're a bowling addict and no even a dead battery and alternator will keep you away from league night.

True story, this happened to me last night...

Could be worse.  I had my brake lines blow out on my car.  First call I made was to a friend to pick me up.  Then to AAA, to have them pick up my car.  True story, and to get to the bowling alley, and see that both teams have waited for me to get there.  Yep, true addict here.

Here's one for you... It was 1971 and I was in Vietnam. I had been in country since Oct. of 1970 and it was now May of 71, and time for me to go on R&R (rest & recouperation).  There were several places we could go to, but I chose Australia.  A planeload of GI's whooping it up and can't wait to meet some Aussie chicks.  Well, guess what I did my first day of R&R - you got it, my buddie and I found a bowling alley.  How's that for addicted?  The next night we found some female companionship!!

yes i am an addict I admit it sign me up for the 12 step plan.Here is how i know.
   I came home from work dead tired today .Layed down and even considered not going bowling. then it happened,the door bell rang and it was my latest ball purchase. It was 5.00 and i had time to get it drilled and make league,oh yeah those thoughts of not going gave way just like clouds after a rain that give way to the rainbow. so i get up happy and full of energy. Mind you earlier this week i had to throw my water bed out and we are sleeping on the floor.so as i am getting ready to go to the proshop my wife calls and tells me she needs me to sign some paper work for a new bed. I get aggitated,down right mad because now i am going to be pushing it to get the ball drilled and make league. Now mind you we r sleeping on the floor.So i say to myself go to the bowling alley dropp off the ball then go sign the papers and then pick up the ball . my wife calls again rushing me to get there to sign the papers.I go to the store where she is instead of to the proshop and they cant find the papers. Now i am fighting mad because if she hadnt called the ball would be getting drilled as i stood there and i would still make league on time. now she is mad because i have an attitude and the lady helping us is moving like frozen mollasses. I am not concerning about not having to sleep on the floor,just whether or not i am going to get my ball drilled and make league. I need help. Yeah i got it drilled and made league which for some reason started 30 minutes late,(go figure),where i proceeded to bowl a 520 series.so much for the new ball,the bed will be here thursday.

Yesterday the doctor told me I might need back surgery and will not be able to bowl for a year or two. I had tears in my eyes. We decided on trying some more theraphy.

You know certain pairs in your house that hook more/less than each other.

If you can remember what ball you were throwing, on what line, on this same league night 3 years ago.
