Went to the local white trash shootout tonight. 3 games of qualifying. The guy that qualified first shot 868. He only had 63 pins of handicap per game! Can't dog him though, he's a cool guy that tries hard. Just got a new ball, and it's really helping him bowl better. He's still a handicap league hack, but he's one of those guys you can be happy for. Still, bowling in tournaments where people have that much handicap is pointless. 90 percent of 220 in a house that 220 average bowlers elsewhere will most likely not do as well is pretty brutal. When a 150 average bowler just has to shoot 3 170's to make 700 with their handicap, it really takes the wind out of your sails. All that means is an extra spare or strike every game, for a scratch bowler, shooting 700 means they need an extra turkey every game. I mean really, you could have 27 strikes in a CLEAN set and not shoot higher than 720. I had one strike in my first game tonight, the rest were spares and I shot 185. I'm intensely proud of having a clean game with that many spares, especially with my spare game being the way it is right now, but it just won't get it done when I only get 3 pins of handicap a game.

Cocky? I'm not cocky. I'm the proud owner of a 280-742 set with a White Dot. So, who wants to touch me? . . . . . . . I SAID WHO WANTS TO F*#%!&G TOUCH ME?!?!
Man! I'm like the white Larry Bird!
