I found this group of oddities:

Duplicate averages, teammates †
Men
180 Peoria Bowl Recreation, Peoria, Ill., all five bowlers in 1949-50 season
171 Pete’s Bait Shop, Joliet, Ill., all five bowlers in 1985-86 season
167 Oberle Trailers, Syracuse, N.Y., all five bowlers in 1960-61 season

Duplicate games, consecutive †
Men
8 Stan Kodish, Toledo, Ohio, March 1988 (202)
7 Bob Barker, Wayne, N.J., January 1954 (158)
6 Tom Burchard, Wheeling, Ill., April 12-15, 1964 (181). (Since then, five others have achieved this feat including Lawrence Buller; see next category).

Duplicate games, individual in same day
Men
180 Lawrence Buller, Corpus Christi, Texas, 1992, six consecutive at ABC Tournament in Corpus Chrisit, Texas

All of these are - odd? - especially the last one.

Are they odd?  Yes.  That's why they're in the "Oddities" section.  There are a lot of strange records like that, and what would make someone do the records search to find who has them is even stranger.

My time IS NOT FREE.  About $25.00 an hour, thank you.  The bill is on the way.

Ohhhhh. Now it's starting to make sense. Where do you work? Sing Sing! That's where he must have got his alias, Floggurass. "Nobody get a book until I floggurass"! HAHA

Hog, your close.  Used to have a guy in league that took FOREVER and a day to throw the darn thing.  One night I said something like "if he doesn't throw it pretty soon I'm going to flogghis..."

Here's another...In 2 USBC tournaments I averaged 69 pins lower than my true "REAL" average.  Truly humbling.

The state game and series 5-man scratch record for Georgia is wrong...

They keep leaving our team off
