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.

So far so good guys.  I have quite a few.  Keep them coming.  I am goign to the shop today to work a little and Panthers football tonight.  I will try and read through them all a little more carefully tomorrow and I am still leaning towards Monday for a deadline with perhaps Monday afternoon being when I make my final decision.  There is one that really jumped out at me and so far i would say he is in the lead so to speaak.  Thanks to everyone who has pmed me and everyone else that will.   THIS won't be the last ball I give away,  If i feel its sucessful it might become a little tradition.

quote:
YEAH JESSE!!!!!!!!!!
--------------------
"We Are The Legions of the Damned,
The Army of the Already Dead,
We Are The F.O.S."


F.O.S. WE WILL RULE YOU

Metal Consumes us all. It's how we feel, how we act, our way of life, the passion inside that drives us to arise in the morning. It's something you feel inside your body, that you just know drives you and pushes you on. It gives you confidence past your right. It's inside of you, and no one can ever take a passion like that from you, EVER!!!

When something, like metal, runs that deep in your body, you feel it on your soul. Every time that you hear, it calls to you and lifts you up from the lowest valley or the deepest chasm. It's like a dream of pure nirvana and the new life you feel is undescribable.

It runs in our deepest thoughts and our best laughter. Every expression we do and think, metal is there. It constantly thrives within our bodies, proving it's worth and value. Showing us how it can deeply impact our lives. How much it can make us care, about so small a thing.

Those that don't know this feeling, it is a sad day for them. It is not just music to us. To us, the metalheads, it runs much much deeper. To use, metal is our way of living. It speaks to us. It shows us that we dont need to folllow the path. We can branch out and be different comfortably. We dont need the path, it shows us to make our own path and leave that path for others to follow if they wish. Metal is in our blood and no matter what anyone says it will remain with us forever.

And so will you DD, We'll miss You Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Sheesh, you're even more insane than him!  Mr. "I'm going to give away over 1000 bucks in bowling balls before it's all said and done".

Ok guys I have changed it and I wll be cutting it off at 2pm.  I doubt there will be many more between now and then.  I have already narrowed it down and will make my final decision arounfd 3pm or maybe a little later.  I will post final decison and pm the winner and they will then send me mailing address.  Ball will ship tomorrow assuming address has been provided.

I would love to have it, but you are not going to send it to the UK.

I'm going to order my first lane 1 ball, a XXXL at the end of the month.

I will be looking for advice on this ball soon.

I was going to post a big thank you note to JPR for the generosity & for choosing me, but I thought it may cause some people to get upset!

Seriously, that is good of you to do something like this. Great gesture, not to mention your own dollar. I applaud you!
