Do you have any idea how hard it is to bowl a 37? I had exhausted 17 of my possible 37 in just three frames, by accident. Was I able to stage a spectacular comeback failure? Thanks to Chris Regal of Townhall for bowling with me and picking the theme song. He makes a cameo at a couple spots in here.
Update: Just as an aside, I'm on "Reliable Sources" Sunday at 10 a.m., if you wanna catch me.
Update: And, yes, I knew I was gonna get it for no "Big Lebowski" references, but somehow "new sh** has come to light" didn't fit with the G rating I'm going for.

Jack and Coke involved....???

like you could really kicked butt if you had wanted to. |

that girl's an athlete, and bowling to one of the best all-time 80's motivational songs/scenes in a movie - "The Karate Kid".
Man, I still love that movie, heh... |

... that you can approach the line? It shortens the lane, for one thing. |

I was with Nassau County P.A.L.'s league for handicapped and disabled kids. I was with them until I was 18. Over the years, I've gotten to be fairly good. I'm nowhere near Obama, but some of the friends that I bowled with in my P.A.L. days were in his range; maybe 10 to 20 pins more than him.
I typically bowl in the low to mid 100s. My goal is merely to break 100. If I do that, I consider it a good game. One day six years ago, I managed to bowl a 221. I think my second highest score was a 184 three years ago.
I've hardly bowled since late 2006, but since October '07, I bowl a lot in the Wii Sports game for Nintendo Wii. As of this moment, my skill level is just over 1000, which is considered Pro. A typical game for me on Wii is in the 130 to 160 range.
I just wanted to share that with you.

P.S. "Jack and Coke" are never in the equation when I bowl. I'm always sober and always in a mental zone. I take bowling very seriously. But that's just me. |

That sounds like something I should try. I personally liked the Captain. |

a beer that would fill up one of those "big a$$ bar napkins" might bring that score down a tick ;-) |

A lot of us that aren't stupid and don't think that Bush is the worst thing since Hitler, appreciate the fact that he is closer to being a "real" American. A leader who isn't afraid to do the right thing even though it's unpopular with the folks.
The sissy score of 37 Obama had only strengthens the position that most conservatives think he's just an elitist snob who doesn't particularly love his country like he should. Does bowling a 37 mean he can't be president? No. Does it make him look even more wimpy than we already thought of him? Yes. Yes it does. |
|
...and no, I don't mean ideologically. I meant my comment about my passion for, and love of, bowling was overshadowed by Kimberly, the radical left troll that wanted to tear into Bush and Republicans.
This posting was about bowling, and moreover, about this week's HamNation. But you knew that. ;) |

Let's discuss our glorious future in the ricefields under Comrade Obama. What a wonderful workers paradise that will be!
1. We will finally end the war on terror by surrendering! Our new Muslim overlords will certainly be greater proponents of women's rights that the Bush administration. At least the genital mutilation will be covered by communist health care.
2. Nothing stops a recession dead in it's tracks like a massive tax hike.
3. The United States has the best health care in the world. This must stop. Only through Cuban style commie health care can we all die before we're fifty like God intended.
Who was it who said "Change for change's sake is folly?" Perhaps it was Yo mama. |

...none of you care about bowling, or in particular, my love of bowling. It's all about politics. I guess there's no room for fun here unless we're making political jokes or implying that everybody's drunk when they bowl. |

3 on 1 is about the Leftists' speed. Fortunately, they didn't stand a chance. |
