Pick one nigga
Bowled a 65 yesterday and still won.
Women are truely abysmal at sports.
awkwardfirstdate is not a sport
>>63827309
i think thats what i usually average,
have a terrible habit of spinning the ball with my wrist when i let it go so it spins into the gutter 3 out of 5 times.

A few months ago i went bowling with my m8s for the first time in at least a year, and it took me a whole game to get my technique down. I scored like 30 points lel, i kept gutter balling it. The second game though i scored a 120.
Part of me seems to be anti winning, I can bowl well in a game, but one of the people I'm against will do better than me, or everyone else will start off badly and I will be unable to hit the bloody pins.
as for bowling 150, I couldn't just walk into a bowling alley and do it, I would take a few games to get up to speed because I don't play often, though I do enjoy it
lol, bowling is something 7 year olds do for their birthday party, do I also have to revoke my man card if I can't be the last person caught in a game of Manhunt or win at Forty Forty In?

Blocky 123 in North Yorkshire.
>>63827630
It's the GOAT playground game. Seriously sad if you never played it.
>>63827630
its like hide and seek, but instead of physically tagging them once you see them you run back to an assigned point and call out their name,

They banned regular bulldog just after I left, mental. Must admit though pretty much the most pain I've ever been in in my life was after tripping over the back of someones shoe and falling face first into the gravel and scraping along it whilst playing bulldog in year 3.

My record is 190. Maybe I should become a professional bowler.
>>63827701
PES 6 is the best football game ever made you turbo pleb
i actually took a bowling class in college as an elective lel. i think my highest score was 194
>>63828403
I tried to karate kick someone with my non-dominant foot as they ran past me and spun about 500 degrees and landed on my ass
Also got bundled by about 20 kids a few years older than me when I was 9. Staggered into class 5 minutes later with dirt and blood on my shirt and not able to breath.

Let's just be honest here; bowling is more fun when the barriers are up
>that weird kid who had never bowled in his life, yet managed 250 with bizarre technique.
>>63831849
I used to disagree but walking back your seat after 2 gutter balls is pretty humiliating.
>>63831887
>go bowling a month after meeting gf
>just the two of us
>she doesn't put barriers up
>fuck her, I'm getting a good score

Bowling is for people too stupid to play pool, to fat for horseshoes and too retarded to be trusted with darts
>>63827405
It's really not that hard. Just make sure to follow though and you'll get at least a 5 on every frame
Is it gay or fedora that I want to someday have a wife, a modest house, a couple kids, and be in a bowling league with my coworkers?
>literally rolling a ball straight on the middle line is all you need to do to have mediocre success in a bowling alley.
Most local bowling leagues have barely any 200 point games, except for a few exceptions.
I have 3 sanctioned 300 games, my high series is 785 and my book average is 205.

Reminder that if you cheese it using 2 fingers and think you are hot shit curving the ball you shouod be shot

What's it like having autism?
Are you NEET living off autismbux, or do you have a job at an engineering firm making stupid money yet still haven't known a woman's touch?
>>63833809
pool is much easier than bowling
>>63834075
I'll probably marry a Mormon broad who has morals, and I'm going to have tough kids raised on playing in the woods and weightlifting
Any other bowlers with hitchikers thumb care to comment?
It seems like always during a round of bowling, my thumbnail will be so mangled and fucked up coming out of the hole after a few throws. No matter how short it is, I think the backbending movement that naturally happens without thinking fucks it up hella
>never could bowl
>last time I bowled I was 12
Don't even remember the score, all I remember was being btfo
>>63834145
Stop using chewed up house balls with small holes and shit technique. There shouldnt be any backbending of your thumb, all the pressure should be going towards your fingers at release
>>63834113
I don't have autism bro. I'm just a guy who grew up around the local alley and have been in leagues my whole life. I worked there in high school and college and got to practice for free.
>>63834216
Huh, guess I never bowled often enough to consider not using the house balls or work on technique.
