bowling ball disposal
« on: July 17, 2008, 07:34:01 AM »
what is the most odd way you have disposed of a bowling ball?

I would have to say thrwing two off the college avenue bridge after a bad night is the most odd way.

I had an old piranah the orange one i went to put new grips in it and the whole center of my grip came out all the way to the core.  I went to the canal by my house and made it sleep with the fishes.  It was july fourth of 07 i had an old control zone that was completely split the whole ball through.  I drilled another hole and i put a quarter stick of dynamite in there and set if off. once it hit the fuse i ran for cover the ball lifted about 4 feet off the ground and then just looked like the death star blew up.  My favorite is what happened new years eve with an old reaction roll that took a roll in the parking lot and really had seen better days. I will try and post pics of it soon.

I haven't seen this, but a farmer friend of mine told me about it.  He says he puts old bowling balls in hog pens.  Apparently the hogs like to push them around the hog pen.

When our alley got new pins, the mechanic we knew gave us an entire box of old pins. This church close by is on a huge steep paved hill, with a huge field behind the bottom of the hill. We set up the pins at the bottom of the hill and went up top with some old gear. It's allot harder than it seems to hit the pins from such a large distance...LOL... but about 30 tries and a 12 pack later I finally got a strike...

I put a bowling ball disposal in our utility sink.  Talk about making a hell of a racket!  Don't put one in there if you plan to hear anything other than crunching and grinding for the next half hour!

I'm not a fan of disposing of bowling balls, I prefer to heat up a soldering iron and let my creative genius/insanity take over.

A friend of mine threw his brand new Xcalibur into the gulf of mexico after a couple of bad sets in Galveston. He then stormed away got into his car and left. Needless to say I got a free bowling ball after 30 minutes of swimming.

funniest one I ever saw, was when a buddy got done bowling league one night took his ball over to the barge canal ( in ustate NY) dropped it off the bridge just a bost was coming through. Hit the front of the boat, bounced back towards the people andknocked over their cocktails ( they were pis*ed) put a whole in their boat and ruined their drinks.

If you ever decide to try it, just remember to work in a VERY well ventilated area and cover your face.  Burning resin/plastic is basically the equivalent of breathing in cancer.  I had to stop after the first image because I was woozy and didn't feel great (working in small room with a closed window).

Target practice .50AE and .454Casull works for rubber, plastic, urethane, & resin balls. Oh yeah bowling pins also.

When the pins start throwing stuff back I'll quit bowling.

So... what you're saying is this:

Closet + used bowling ball + soldering iron = free high?

Man, this is a better discovery than "huffing"!  No more gold nostrils for me!
