And I thought I saw it all.......
« on: September 30, 2003, 12:16:13 PM »
After bowling Monday night, I was talking to a couple of my friends, when a individual was walking out with a 6 ball bag with his left hand, and a two ball tote on top of that, a 3 ball bag with his right hand, two 2 ball totes on his left shoulder, and a 2 ball tote on his right shoulder for a Grand Total of:

17 bowling balls!

He's averaging 195!

AND, has bowled in some regionals (don't know if he has a card or not).

I could NOT believe it.!

I keep a locker at both of the houses that I bowl in. One holds 2, the other 3 balls. I might take a double bag if I feel like playing with a different ball just for fun. You gotta have a serious set of nuts to lug almost 300 pounds of equipment around. Too bad it ain't brains.

I was just thinking... How much is carrying all of that crap around affecting his body?  Sure, he may be stocky and all, but carrying a few balls on this shoulder, a couple on that one, and dragging stuff around with your arms has to be extremely stressful on the shoulders, back, and knees.

WOW!!! I don't know if 17 bowling balls helped his game, but he must be one strong guy.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang,uh and I though 11 was bad for one night!

I was just testing the crap out of them!!Its funny when you bring more
than 3 balls peeps ask all kinds of questions.

Also they make silly(aka stupid comments of why I have this many balls)offers too,but I ended up giving 2 away.They were purchased
for under 10 or 15 bucks,I didn't mind.

After that night,I still had 9 balls left,it took me two trips to my car!I was
really tired!

I now take 5 or less,after that night(aka or day too).Less painful in the long run.

Hell, on a bad night it will take hime a game and a half to find the right ball.
That guy would get laughed right out of our league especially if he didn't break 200.

Well, I use to bowl with this guy in juniors, and back in the urethane days, he would bring six balls with him.  Usually in juniors the most we would bring was 2, (for me it was a Burgundy Hammer and a Red Pearl Hammer.)  Once reactive came around, he would bring about 12 into the bowling alley.  He never could adjust, played only one line.  This Monday, I'll count the number of balls that he brings, and I'll tell you guys.
