Bowling.

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 can find it entertaining. I guess you need some skill to
enjoy it...

its more of a social event, and i really enjoy it. but
surely you can still smoke, drink, do what you want whilst
you are socializing with your friends, no?

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...

It's like chess but with larger pieces and a more pungent
aroma.

cheesy moves.
