10. The lanes were bad.
9. The pins were off spot.
8. I used the wrong ball.
7. My shoes were sticking on the approach.
6. My shoes were sliding too much.
5. My team bowled lousy.
4. The other team bowled their socks off.
3. My thoumb swelled. I couldn't get out of the ball good.
2. My thumb shrunk. I kept dropping the ball.
And,
Number 1 Reason. I bowled like crap!
Excuses are a dime a dozen. Just admit to the fact you lost.

I got hit with the bowling stupids
Seriously though, it is always we didn't bowl as well as the other team.

Chicago is known as the Windy City, and Montana is called the Big Sky State, so I think that we should somehow combine the two to create the ultimate kite-flying experience.

You might have mentioned the above in jest, but you obviously have ME pegged. Those are the exact excuses I make when I bowl badly.

I must admit that they are, the machine the alley use is about 100 years old. Spreads oil everywhere or not at all. But why dont they do what i do - ADJUST!! Either use a different ball or move your feet.
My top excuse for losing is not converting all my spares. Must have an average of two missed spares each game. I should follow my own advice thats in my signature.

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.)

So I subbed last night in a mixed league...Mostly drinkers, straight bowlers and a good team here and there..
Anyway on are pair we had 7 (total) straight plastic throwers...Right down the middle (pretty much, lol)
Check out this set:
262-135-132
First game everything was going great...After all that plastic moved the oil down, I was screwed !
Needless to say I will never sub in that, nor any mixed "fun" league !
Seems like I just tossed my $5 right out the window
Damn straight bowlers !

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.

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!
