Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hey, I went to Niagara Wheatfield High School with Liz Johnson - she is not a native to Cheektowaga. Any yes, I look 30. 281905[/snapback] That's what they said on the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 My old man coached the Orchard Park womens Bowling team when Liz was in HS and he remembers her well. My dad actually had a bowler that was as good as her, but instead of pursing it felt it wasn't 'cool' enough and gave it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I'd love to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shameless Homer Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Any way we can tax her winnings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Any way we can tax her winnings? 281932[/snapback] Ask Giambra and the legislature. I think they could come up with something appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopsGuy Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 SPORT???..lol--It is a great SKILL..like golf is--but I dont consider it a sport.Remember a guy from Buffalo named Rick Musialowski?? Best bowler I've ever seen w/ the possible exception of the very top guys like walter ray williams,dick and pete weber,etc.This guy weighed about 300+ lbs--kinda lumbered instead of walked..and I am sure that the only reason he didnt go on the PBA tour was probbly the difficulty his weight presented in travelling.POOL,GOLF,BOWLING--same category-- skills requiring coordination...but not sports.. 281716[/snapback] Have you seen any of the championship darts programming on Fox Sports Net? The guys are awesome, but the commentators and PA announcers are a bit too excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I can't think of anything cooler than making $50K+ a year bowling. In fact, I'd love to do that. 281925[/snapback] I can. Making $250,000,000.00 a year playing pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I would like to congratulate her as well. Turns out she single handedly raised the Earth's temperature by 1 degree by using more AquaNet hairspray than any other woman outside of Cheektowaga. Congrats, Liz! This Bud's for you.

In fact, I'd love to do that. 281925[/snapback] You mean after expenses. That's among the reasons why the women's tour folded....bowler expenses, few sponsors, concentrated talent, and low prize purses. It was great for those women bowler who had financial backing and could cash each week, but those who didn't, found it impossible to make a living out of it. It's different on the men's tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
