Post your "Beat ThongPrincess and win a prize" scores here.
What is the prize, TP ?
We need some motivation here.

An autographed thong in the color of your choice  I believe SrKegler was going to make that a plus for one of the tournaments or gatherings.

As luck would have it, this morning in my haste to get everything done before heading to work for recurrent training class, I think I wrenched my back while cleaning the bowling balls, add to that sitting in some god awfully chairs all day, makes me not a bowling happy camper tonight.

Hence, I will either have to take a blind, or wait till Sunday and try.

You came up with a great incentive, but I know I would be better off letting someone else win the thing while I care for my back.

Another pain is getting outta hand and while I just called the Doc for an appointment, I thought I would check with you folks for opinions.

The past week or so my right knee has been painful and almost feeling like it is dislocating at times, cause when I lift it to extend and take a step, it pops, and if its popping when weight is getting placed on it, well you can bet its hurts even more. The only time it is stable is when I am standing still.
I have not hit it, twisted it, or anything else out of the ordinary, yet it is getting worse everyday. Any thoughts or ideas out there? I get the feeling my bowling could be coming to a premature end, at least temporarily.

Ed you may have some tibial torsion caused from a plantar pronation problem.

In plain english that means that your ankle may be rolling inward from general body mechanics and that is putting undo stress on the knee.  You may want to see someone who specializes in sports related injuries like a certified chiropractic sports physician C.C.S.P.  or even a Sports Podiatrist.  You may be a candidate for orthotics.  You may also want to see a bowling coach as well to watch your bowling mechanics.

Too bad you aren't close by.  I could check it out for you.

I was at one time.  Since I'm now the kinder/gentler SrK, all I'll say is she won't have to worry about running out of room signing it.

Ask her how she got the name.

How much room do you need to write "TP" ?

If I recall correctly, you wouldn't leave her alone until she signed one for you!

Yeah, but unfortunately I don't have a wall big enough to display it.  Plus UPS charged me $49.50 just in shipping charges.

Okay, I guess I won't be at the bottom 2 weeks in a row.  There actually was a nice condition as long as I kept it over 10.  210-181-216=607

If I beat TP, I'll pass on the prize

Taking a blind this week. The doc said possible miniscus damage and has suggested an MRI and find an ortho surgen.
I swear, I quit smoking and now the body is falling apart. Makes me wish I didnt quit!! Getting old sucks.

Ed, so sorry to hear of your injury.  Hopefully, the MRI will show something that will be remedied by rest/therapy instead of surgery. And if you need surgery, after a while you'll be as good as new.

Ed if it minor meniscal damage that an be taken care of arthroscopically.  You should be up and bowling in less then two weeks.

Ed - sorry to hear, hope it isn't bad.
Take all the time you need, I've got the bottom covered.

175 - 170 - 124 = 469

It's starting again!

PK it is just a momentary lapse, you'll be back in the middle of the barrel soon.

ED I hope all went well tonight with the doc.  Best wishes for a speedy healing.

The Dr. says he is positive I tore the menisci and to take it easy for a few weeks. If it improves then we will most likely leave it alone and see how things continue. I think I will refrain from bowling this week and take it one week at a time. At least this knee is not locking up like my other knee does on occasion, at least it hasn't yet.

What a terrible week.

My partner goes out of town and I had to cover for him.  Saw 60 patients and then had to bowl on the worse conditions I have seen in a long time.  Left lane screaming backends.  Right lane wouldn't finish.  Tried to play every line I could think of changing hand positions and balls.  Even had tenpinspro a track staffer and my anchor bowler perplexed.  

Shot 169-149-160=478

I really wanted that thong too.  I need something new to buff my bowling balls.

DANG

I might give it a shot afterall.

I assume the thong is for the winning male bowler???
Heck I will wreck my knee again if I have a shot at it.


I reserve the right to come and remove it in person should I be lucky enough to win it.

Thank you, Doc and Pin Kisser for saving me from the Fate of The Bottom Of The Barrel!!!  Whew!  I was really scared there for awhile.  While I was out sick, (note: sarcasm on) my lovely Big Money league teammates voted me to 5th position of a 4 person team (sarcasm off).   I've got to get the league rules because I'm not sure they can do it since I did call and tell them I was sick.  Meanwhile, those were the scores I was reporting.  So now I'll have to use another league to report the scores.  

147 - 158 - 185 = 490

Doc and Ed, maybe PK will run another promotion to try and encourage the guys.  Although it seemed to have backfired, may have something to do with SrKegler's comments    

Doc, sorry to hear you hit upon one of those Murphy's Law days.  Why is it when work is frustrating, bowling seems to keep with the theme of the day? Bad day at work/bad day at bowling

LOL Ed Heal quickly, follow the doctor's advice and you'll probably come back and put us all to shame!

RooCat, that is the pits.  Somehow I doubt that is fair for them to do.  I'd check not only the league rules, but also with local ABC/WIBC associations.

Debs, nice shooting!

Found out only grounds for dismissal are misconduct or non-payment of league fees.  Specifically absence is not grounds for dismissal.  I'm filing my protest tomorrow and advising that a rep from ABC and WIBC will be at the hearing to represent my interests.  So take that!
