They are false dieties!!!
The true bowling gods are The Great God Brunswick and his evil twin sister, AMF. Brunswick is a drawf, long beard, loves ale, beer and spirts, is chaotic good by nature, can be bribed, can be a bit capricious at times and passes out on occasion. He carried a club as his symbol and is basically a good enough being. When you get those really weird strikes, backup hits things like that, thank Brunswick. He loves chaotic games. His sister....AMF...is also a dwarf, long beard, loves spirts, is always capricious, hateful, is responsible for leaving solid 7, 8, 9, and 10 pins, plus pocket 7-10's, not to mention those nights when you're in the pocket all night and get nothing good for your efforts. She usually takes over when Brunswick is passed out. She can be bribed but usually takes your money and gifts and then screws you, laughing all the time.
These dieties were created by my bowling team one night when it was slow bowling. And yes, we all play D&D. So if you are having a bad night, blame AMF, if it's a good night...thank Brunswick. And be sure to make an offering to him or he might get offended...meaning have a Beer and toast to Brunswick!
