Best excuse for losing
« on: September 23, 2006, 12:12:55 PM »
What are the best excuses for losing? What I here is that everyone is sandbagging no matter what there average happens to be. I try to remind people that even a blind squirrle finds a nut every once in a while. What do the rest think?

I have two excuses that happen to be interlinked most of the time.  

Most often it’s because I can’t maintain consistency.  I liken it to having the yips in golf.

The second most common reason is when I just can’t figure out the lane(s).  

Lack of consistency makes it very hard to figure out the lane(s), but knowing the lane(s) is of little consequence if I can’t maintain consistency.

yesterday bowling for a league, one of the guy on the next lane was saying "wow i have a hangover and cant see well"

i was like... LOL

then 1 game after i was playing him, and i saw him buyin another beer. Then he came to me and said "look man, first game 150s, but i got a 200s since i got the beer"

in that game he beat the sh*t out of me..., he even made the 6-7 SPLIT!!
when i saw the split i was like "man, go and drink some beer and u gonna make the spare" he did so and he actually got it HAHAHAHA. after he converting that spare my moral went down and couldnt do much cuz he kept hitting the pocket and drinking more beer!

next sunday... im goin to try it too!


btw, my best excuse... i cant make the 10 ping
--------------------
I go two-handed, and i hate stupid 10pins! cuz my 12lb spare ball hooks too much!

Number 6 would be CAN NOT GET INTO A GOOD RYTHM SINCE EVERYONE IS GOING OUT TO SMOKE. (Hear this one in one of my leagues every night, then they go out and smoke.)


quote:
5 of my favorite excuses for bowling bad

5) So an So pissed me off because he did/said something and it made me bowl like crap. (Trust me I have 2 friends that everytime they bowl together this one happens.)
4) These lanes suck, I don't they know how they expect you to bowl on these conditions.
3) Person on the lane next to me keeps jumping up when I'm on the approach and ruining my concentration
2) People using plastic balls messed up my shot.

My Number 1 favorite excuse I have ever heard (friend of mine uses this one often.)

1) I was too drunk to bowl. (usually follows up by asking the waitress for another berer.)

To me if you loose it is simple, you got beat. They bowled better then you, wether your team lost by 18,6 or 2 pins. That was my team last week, when someone asked me what happened i told them we lost and they bowled better then we did. Hey Billy Smith always said it is how you beat them it is that you beat them, he would say i take a win if it is 1-0 or 11-10 a win is a win. He also said a loss is a loss and if they make one more save or in our case pin then us then they deserved to win.   I know in one league a bowled in a team hated brooklyn strikes, to them it was cheating. So our team would make sure if we got one we would pump our first and get real excited. Hehehheh always screwed them up!
