2 balls of same color?

How do you tell them apart? I keep delaying the game by not knowing that ball is which. Can you use a pro shop crayon?

You could get them engraved above the finger holes, that would solve the problem....
IE... Left foot ~~~ Right foot

This is a problem for the ages. You should quit and take up golf.

Could be the first to carry 14 putters in the bag.


I think he's a few putters short of a full bag.

We are a tough crowd!

Yes, but I'd love for two of you to really stand out and go full on Statler and Waldorf. You'd have my eternal respect if you could heckle like them, especially with how they trolled Milton Berle!

Two assumptions there.
1- The girlfriend
2- She is refined enough to know about cosmetics and such.

Third assumption...that he doesn't already have his own collection of makeup and such.

Okay, when I hadn't been on the site for a while, I stumbled across one of this guy's posts, and I was saddened to see the rude and sarcastic responses put forth by some members. Now, after having been back for a while and having read a lot of his content, this post included, it all makes sense now. :-\

I try to keep it good-natured fun.  I think we all should be able to laugh, and especially at ourselves.
 
One thing that we all have in common is that we seem to love bowling, which makes all of us pretty cool in my book. 

There is no one on league night who jokes more about me than myself.  And if 2handedvolcano were in my league I'd help him any way that I could.  Heck, we're all a little weird in our own special ways...

I swore to myself I would never post anything again related to 2HandedVolcano.  Well here I am posting.  Mr. notclay from many of your previous posts I respect you.  However, when it comes to Volcano, please if he were to be in your league keep him there and help him all you want.  I commend you for your thoughtfulness to him.
However, I admit I cannot befriend him on BR as he makes no logical sense 99% of the time.  I  mean him no harm, but I wish he would just fade away so this site can get back to serious bowling shared information.
Mr. Volcano, I don't accept your shot put from the chest, 20 feet out on the lane as bowling, but I do believe you love the game.
I have tried in the recent past to get the serious BR members to ignore your posts, with the hope you would post elsewhere for lack of response.  But, I guess a lot of members can't refrain from "playing" with you (and I admit I have done so in the past).  But now I restrain myself and just hope you fade away, unless you can demonstrate you can post questions/statements/opinions that make sense to the majority of mankind.

No they don't.  Anyone lofting the ball "25 feet", as you say, is not a bowler.  When I (occasionally) incorporate loft into my game it's usually about 3 to 5 feet, and that's probably the norm from what I've watched over the years. 

If that's your game then you'd better stay where you are and tear up that center instead of the one I help manage.  I'd send you packing without a refund...

Bowlaholic, I think you're right. ;)  Sometimes I respond to hear what others will say because we have some pretty funny (and intelligent) people who post.  I will try to heed your advice.

I think I saw this scene in Silence of the lambs. Tucked junk and all.

The ball lands 20 foot down the lane from the foul line not 25 foot in the air. I do not throw the ball 20 foot in the air, the camera was poor. All most the ball is
4 feet in the air.

Something does not stack up here... Thrown from 4ft... You must be throwing from your chin because you only look 5ft tall..

I am a lofter, have been since I started bowling 3 years ago. When the ball leaves my hand at the line its about 8 inches off the lane, and makes contact about with the lane about 5-6 feet out.
