 What the fuck is with bowling? I went with  some old school-friendthings, and honest-to-god, i just  don't see the attraction.
 
  Here is the rundown of the night:
  - The lights are set: Low (known as "starlight" bowling). - There is a policy of 80s school disco "hits". - I have discovered i really can't fucking bowl. At all. - The drinks are all űber-expensive. - They also have dodgems (although to be fair, this bit was  utterly awesome).
 
  Anyway. Bowling. What's the deal?

If only bowling was more like sitting in a chair with a  pint, a fag and a packet of spicy peanuts. Instead making a  fool of myself.
 
  Y'know, i think you're right.

I don't get it either.  Then again, I also don't get  televesion, drinking, flirting, wars, religion, slavery, and  a billion other common human endeavours.

  Try the local gay bar for that setting.

Aye, that's true i suppose. It's just weird to me though,  why not go down the pub instead? You can do all of that you  speak of and have a grand auld time without some Warrington  Wire 107.5FM DJ spouting some fucking spiel down your ears  inbetween "build me up buttercup" on repeat. Whilst some  bored chav girl spits in your pint that she's pulling.

The shoes are the best part my man. Anyway, I finally went  bowling and enjoyed it more than I thought, I had really bad  memories of it and thought I'd still be pretty awful but it  worked out okay. Plenty of gutterballs but there was a laugh  had. More proof that an outgoing life really is the  bee's knees.

I like bowling, not too often but now and then. Its  satisfying because the learning curve seems quite apparent,  and its not hard to find people to have a reasonable game  with.

i don't mind 5 pin bowling, cause the ball is light enough  that i can control it well and put spin on it and shit...  but 10-pin sucks cause the balls are too damn big, and i  almost always end up fucking up muscles in my  wrist/hand/fingers...
 
  and yeah, neon-bowling music seems to be pretty goddamn  terrible... here, it's less of the retro crap, and more of  the disturbing vaguely club pop songs like that one "Woof  Like a Dog", and fuckin' "I Wanna Suck On Your Lollipop"...  can someone tell me more about this  hard-house/super-chauvinist pop phenomenon? it confuses me  to no end...
