OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

I'd donate to a go fund me in order to fix up the old one too.

If you were willing to ride a 25 year old BMX bike, I might have one to send ya

The bike I'll be riding is 20 years old. It's not a BMX bike, though.

It's also missing its highest two gears, but it'll do for now.

Oh my God, Trump campaign, stop calling me!

Tell them that you are 39% bionic and legally classified as an appliance, therefore unable to vote.

I told one yesterday that I assumed the identity of a black lab named "Oscar" and in order to protect my life I have to "ride it out", so I have to stay in hiding. I can't risk going to the polls.

It's not even a person, it's a recording. The same recording, over and over again. I can't even tell it off!

But that's brilliant. If a real person calls, I'll have to do that. I told a Clinton campaigner who texted me that I had bowled a 200 game, and she congratulated me.

My high game is 224 (a mark in every frame, I had 7 strikes and 5 spares). The guy behind the counter said it was close enough to 225 and gave me a bowling pin "pin" with 225 which I thought was cool.

I got a 238 that game, a mark in every frame, 7 strikes, three spares. I couldn't finish the 10th with no pins standing, though. Alas.

Also, I didn't get anything from the alley. They actually turned off the lane before my last ball, and I had to beg them to let me finish. (Our time ran out, and they extended it a few minutes so I could finish, bless them.)

I have two 279 games in my arsenal (both within 4 weeks of each other and both were all strikes except for a solid 10-pin in the 8th frame both times). This was in my early 20's heyday when my average was 195. I never did get the elusive 300.

I haven't bowled in over 5 years, and I'd probably now be at a 160 average and struggle to get a 200 game again.

Same here.

 

[Darkstone42]

I only bowl about once a year. My first game is usually crap, struggling to break 100. About halfway through it, though, I start to remember how to bowl, and then I'm pretty good to sit between 150-175 for the rest of the games I bowl.

This time, I bowled an 82, then a 154, then a 238. Wildly inconsistent.

I think I broke 150 once.

/Bumper bowling counts, right?

Sounds like sandbagging to me - gone is the lost art of a bowling alley hustle.

I bet it was a Trump guy who stole your bike

What the balls America.

I'd like to say we get what we deserve, but honestly, the people who will most suffer don't deserve it.

I bowled a 254 once ... never got close again

I also bowled 5 pin once and hit the head pin with my first ball 7 out of the 10 frames ... my 6 year old son beat me that day lol

I like when they put the bumpers up to stop the ball from rolling into the gutter - I love to carom that ball off the bumpers until I get escorted out of the establishment.

i dont really know of a "new-er" 5 pin bowling alley (although i think the newer ones around here may dedicate 3 or 4 lanes to 5 pin) ... we go to the one on Kingsway and Willingdon in the same strip mall as the Save on ... no one ever there when we go ... smells like the 70's ... it has the metal bumpers that manually retract

Ive seen people (ok my son) throw overhand and the owner doesnt even turn away from his 12 inch tube tv lol

And the people who will benefit the most don't deserve it, either.

Corporate Monarchy, here we come.

Is Trump going to install a gold throne in the White House?
