Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 21, 2005 Author 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.
BillsNYC Posted March 21, 2005 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.

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. 281920[/snapback] I can't think of anything cooler than making $50K+ a year bowling. In fact, I'd love to do that.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 21, 2005 Author 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.
HopsGuy Posted March 21, 2005 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.
R. Rich Posted March 21, 2005 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.
a player to be named later Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Its nice to know that Niagara Wheafield's most famous alumni is no longer John Wayne Bobbit!! OUT
nobody Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 The question I have is when did poker become a "sport"?
stevestojan Posted March 21, 2005 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.
R. Rich Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 The question I have is when did poker become a "sport"? 282152[/snapback] Right after "watching paint dry" did.

This Bud's for you. 282154[/snapback] I think we should start calling her Ozone Lizzy.
clumping platelets Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 lol..he was probbly over the hill by then--I remember watching him as a young kid in the 60s and 70s on TV.I wonder if the big fella is still alive. 281772[/snapback] You are talkin' about Rick Sr.....I was talkin' about his son. Rick Jr is a doctor now

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
Tcali Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 You are talkin' about Rick Sr.....I was talkin' about his son. Rick Jr is a doctor now 282892[/snapback] You mean he chose a career as a physician over the possible glory and chicks he could've had from being a pro bowler?? You can only shake your head...
