Wanna roll a few frames tomorrow?

Our local dive bowl went of business and is now a brewery.

Everything's a brewery these days. They're like weeds. Haha, weed.

Bowled in a cave once in Poland.

Europe has some really cool shit.

I bowled in a cave of an alley today that was perfectly lit by the glow of Budweiser signs and tvs, and the beer came from a plastic pitcher with 7 ounce glasses.

Somehow bowling an Row Disland are inextricably linked in my mind. Must be the annual charity bowling event at the East Providence Lanes I used to roll at. It's as RI as coffee milk and clam balls.

Ha, I've bowled there. It was an awkward date. Cute girl, though.

Micro brewery and lanes

Call it Big Labrewski

Yeah, that is good.

A brewpub with a Lebowski-themed bowling alley already exists in San Diego. Sadly, it's kinda pretentious, and rolls a gutter-ball for authenticity.

Love to roll the rock. Bowling league is the original social network. My high school had bowling instead of PE our senior year.
Not a fan of the new luxury lanes of today with expensive drinks and trippy lights. They rarely oil those lanes or just dump fucktons of it on there.
I carry a 200 average - always watch out for bowlers wearing golf shirts. Dollar a pin anyone?

Edit: I am a fan however of fancy bowling like this one in Nashville. So chic.

Huh, same group as Catbird Seat. I bet the food and cocktails are exceptional.

Well, you're gonna have a kid or two, and after the 4th or so bowling party you attend as a parent in the daylight....you're perspective will change.

I do recall litterally running/sliding around Virginia Highland in the late 80s in stolin bowlin shoes. more than once. Good Times.
YMMV.

Ha! My bowling shoes are on permanent loan from some alley that I don’t think exists anymore.

I’ll be prepared for when the kids parties start popping up. Thanks for the heads up.

I haven't bowled in years and have no plans to do so, but I very much enjoyed the documentary film A League of Ordinary Gentlemen which aired a few years ago on PBS's Independent Lens.

Yes! I thought the wife and I were the only ones to catch that. Great look into the sport from several perspectives.

[shroom]

fuck yeah, bowling is the jam. my best bud in college worked at the small town alley, so we had the in for $1.50/person + $1/hr bowling. pitchers of domestic for $6. living the dream.

[Ted Striker]

Don't forget the stinky rental shoes.

Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes.

Stumbled upon the PBA Playoffs on FS1 from Portland, Maine just now.

Some thoughts:

1) that Aussie with the 2 hand technique apparently went and became the greatest bowler of all time. Someone send that guy a congratulatory crotch-chop.

2) Booner has a soulmate, and she’s the lane-side reporter Kimberly or Kimmy Pressler.

3) By the looks of this crowd I’d say there’s at least 5 maggots in attendance, maybe some of the ECRC judging by the yelling. .

[Benny Profane]

Found this little four lane in a surprising place, in a bar not to far from the gondola station in Belle Plagne at La Plagne in the Alps. It really smelled like a bowling alley, too.

what was your score?

[SumJongGuy]

Sometime around 1977ish my church youth group took a ski trip from Minneapolis to Indianhead in the UP of Michigan. It was a bare bones budget trip. We loaded our gear in to a really rusted out used school bus rental and stayed in a bunk house that had little to no heat and lukewarm water. It was COLD with that wind blowing in from the Lake Superior ice. Anyway, after a decent day of skiing Saturday there was NOTHING to do back at the bunk house so the 10 of us took a walk around the little po dunk town we were at and found a bowling alley open. Even back then everyplace I'd been had automatic scoring... until then. One of the kids actually knew how to keep score and taught us all. It was absolutely the most fun I ever had bowling to this day, and I've been a lot since. Never a "bowler" but always game to throw a few games when others want to go do that.

Fuckin Quintana... That creep can freaking roll man.

Yeah, but he's a pervert Dude.

A few years back, some swarthy people in headscarves tried to bowl in Bishop, CA: bad idea. https://www.pacificcitizen.org/patro...bowling-alley/

Probably Lucky Strike Lanes in Ironwood, MI? Not sure though.

That movie could have taken a much more wild turn had Nic Cage taken the buxom redhead up on her offer.

Someone page Booner and tell him to check out the bowling reporter. I’m positive he’ll think she’s a nice girl.
