Ok guys and gals I have recently out of boredom decided to drill some new balls and do a few other things.  So yes that means I am getting rid of some of my balls.  I had planned on getting rid of my hybrid, my pearl dirty bomb and my H2O.  The hybrid and pearl dirtys are already gone and I have my very nice gently used H2O left.  

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wOTUwNTc0NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D.jpg

So heres the deal you want to try Lane#1 and never have before but don't wanna pay full price.  You wanna see what all the hype is for and why these balls are so good.  Maybe you have tried Lane#1 and you just wanna try the H2O.  Well whatever it is I want to hear about it and this ball can be yours absolutely free, shipping included.  YEs thats right all you gotta do is put in a little of your thought and your time and this awesome ball will be shipped to you free of charge.  

Tell me in as many or as few words as you think it takes why you deserve this ball, why you think you should get it over somebody else.  Tell me how bad you want to try a buzzsaw and how much you deserve to win.  I will let it go through the weekend with a possible decison on Monday 8-22-05 if I think there have been enough replies by then.  PM me with H2O contest in the subject and I will take care of the rest.  

I am trying to do something nice for everyone here so please no crap PM's and nobody wanting to get it just so they can resell it.  Please be serious and please intend to throw it!Let the contest begin.

*** Note to everyone***  I just wnated to say thanks to all whom PMed me requesting this ball I didn't count but I would estimate I had aorund 30+- entries into this little contest.  I think it went real well I had many heartfelt messages from some of you guys and honestly its between 3 people and the decision is quite hard.  As soon as it is decided I will post the winner and yes as of right now no more PM's please everything is closed.  This will not be the last time I do this keep your eyes and ears open.

Ok here it is guys sorry for the delay I tried posting before I left work and ballreviews messed up on me.  Basically it was up to timpdude,hammerbowler2000 and RHWestar57.  These three were the best most original and well written messages I received.  Hammerbowler2000 a local kid from here in NC, an avid youth bowler, good grades in school, what more would it take right.  Well the only thing that came to mind was he does have quite a few decent balls already although no lane#1 aside from an xxxl he does have a fairly large arsenal.  So that left timpdude and RHWestar57 between these two guys it was basically a coin flip for me.  Both been out of bowling for years, both getting back into it, both guys either using extremely old balls or dirt cheap old used ones they found.  Both gentlemen really have had some struggles in their lifes and I think they are both making the best of them.  So as I said it was really a coin flip with the winner going to RHWestar57.  All I can say is I wish I had three balls one aach to give to these three individuals.  Thanks agian to all who participated aand I will do more of these in the future if you didn't win please feel free to enter the next one.

I'm trying to figure out if this is an insane act of generosity, or simply a generous act of insanity.

But Jesse, it's gonna be hard to tell who will actually throw the stuff and who won't.  Heck, if I wanted to I could make a 4 page speech devoted to why I would love to throw Circle Athletics.

I'm with Trig on this one.  Jesse is one of the good guys in the world.  This is no BS from him, so don't BS back at him.  I hope things go as you plan with this.

I.E. Me. Dearest Jesse, I am a 17 year old avid bowler, who up until now has been throwing Brunswick. However, in light of recent events, I've decided to give up on a one company set up, and venture out to determine what other companies may have to offer. I have been eyeing lane 1 balls for a few years now, to be honest. (pst, I never told the Nation ) However, I am but a poor poor student, who has no job as of right now, and therefore no money. I will be going to school with my old clothes, old shoes, and old bookbag, the girl I love wont give me another chance, and I've been awfully down. Please dearest jesse, brighten my day with a semi-used lane 1 wonder!

Actually, you DID tell us you were about to get a lane 1 ball.    Nobody cared though.  We all expected it.

Very nice of you to do this for someone.

I wish I was there to help you judge!

You may consider some suggestions (qualities of the recipient):
Someone who bowls for the love of the game...
Someone who is kind to others (as you are in this case)...
Someone who cannot afford to go buy a new one...
Someone who HAS a job (no gifts to the lazy/unmotivated kids!)...
Someone who does not have an overflowing 6-ball roller...
Someone who will spread the good word about Lane #1...

Well, there is the sugar-coated version!
Hope someone truly deserving gets it...I can verify that the h2o is a great ball! ENJOY!

It's amazing how easy it is to see through the BS. Besides, I am sure JPR has been here long enought to establish "character". Not to point any fingers or start a flame war, but there are plenty of "punks" in this forum, and it obvious through the way they have responded to past threads. I am sure someone who is truly in need will get it, and to those who do not "need" it, but simply "want" it...why don't you guys show a little integrity and not request to be in the running!

And who knows, maybe JPR just needs a good laugh, and the funniest reply will win the ball...just a thought...
