Before computers bowling was an honor system too...

No cheating here. 1

You need to watch this cult classic from '88, you'll keep that wrist straight! ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorority_Babes_in_the_Slimeball_Bowl-O-Rama Thanks! That looks right up my alley in terms of movies. Im really not into mainstream films but older quirky ones. This was one I watched recently I thought was good https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_(1984_film) 1

High game was 298 and I had a few 700 series. It's probably been close to a decade since I last bowled. At least you didn't choke, the last ball had a chance. I have a friend who bowled a 291. Only one way to do that. Collar was getting a bit tight I suspect.

You were in a bowling ally, that would have been one hell of a show if it was. Yeah, there is only one Black Dog from 1971, it's this song. Just trying to give you a few more years with this version because you're as old dirt pushing 60.? Don't worry, I will get my due... I will be there in 8 short years... ?
Seasons1992 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Still have my three balls from high school, bowling for Orchard Park. New shoes, however. Grew up behind the Southgate plaza so we were always at those lanes down the street on Union/Michael. I get pissed when I don't average 200 over the course of 3 games. My kids love bowling. I have this right inside my entryway also...............
LewPort71 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 To answer Meads question. Yes, bowling fan here. Spent many hours at Frontier Lanes in Lewiston. Also enjoyed watching Strikes, Spares and Misses ,and Beat the Champ on Channel 4 WBEN. Saturday afternoon meant ABC's telecast of PBA bowling with Nelson Burton Jr and Chris Schenkel. The definition of smooth was watching Earl Anthony on the lanes. 2

I’ve always been intrigued by candlepin, where, where fallen pins (deadwood) are not cleared between balls in the frame. Popular in New England and the Maritimes, apparently. Yolo has mentioned there’s duckpin (ten pins, smaller, smaller balls) around his way I believe. Duck Pin popular in BMore and some DC suburbs. Used to live near a duckpin place in group house right out of college..man did we do a lot of betting on that game. Ton of fun. 100 meant you had at least 50/50 shot at winning, 120 was a freaking lock! 5 minutes ago, LewPort71 said: To answer Meads question. Yes, bowling fan here.

I spent the 60s and early 70s glued to the ‘idiot box’, and WNY television personalities are often easily identified and remembered. Southern Ontario not as easily, as only Channel 11 came in clearly. 1

Around 170 avg with a 278 high game. I always enjoyed it but haven't gone in over 20 years.

I started working the arcade when I was 15 and eventually worked my way up to the snack bar without getting a raise. $5.00 an hour was my pay for 3 years. It had perks though. I was 16 and got to work the snack bar for rock n bowl from 11 -1 on Fridays. The regulars brought beer in and I stuck it in the I chest. I was permitted to drink behind the counter and listen to rock and roll and eat free food when I was barely old enough to drive. Cant ask for a much better gig at 16. 1
