I would have to say thrwing two off the college avenue bridge after a bad night is the most odd way.

It was more scary than awesome, but it did blow the ball up and no one was hurt.

One of the driller I used to frequent saved the bad ones and donated them to the Zoo. Apparently the lions loved playing with them.

The two I tossed in the river of no use anywhere, a Piranah/c that was so beat up their were no labels left on the ball and a Blue Nitro, it was in decent shape I was using it as a spare ball and I couldn't make it work finally one night I missed every spare I left in the first game and slammed it down on the rack and used my primary ball for both strikes and spares, after the switch I didn't miss a spare the rest of the night. I was so mad I took the ball to the bridge when I got done and tossed it in, I didn't want anyone else to be cursed by that Ebonite piece of junk.

They kinda have that same cat-fish mentality of loving deep-set holes and caves in channels and/or lakes.
that added weight, plus the roundness would make sure their bait rolls up in there good!

We were bowling in a collegiate tournament at Strike and Spare Lanes in St. Louis over Thanksgiving. With one game to go in the first block a guy on our team was averaging 250 and the leading scorer. He then proceeds to throw a 120-130 game to end the block. He was so mad when he got outside he threw his ball down the parking lot as hard as he could. The ball made it to the entrance of the parking lot(which is on an incline) and it rolls across the street, hit's the curb and jumps 2-3 feet straight up in the air. It then lands back on the street and rolls down the street(also on an incline) to the intersection of a 4-lane divided road. It goes into the intersection(on yet another incline) and makes a slow turn and rolls into oncoming traffic on the 4-lane road with cars swerving to avoid it. Some people were in shock at the sight and others were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up anymore. At that point we jumped into the van and got out of there. The next day on the way back to the bowling alley we saw the ball in the ditch 100 yards from the intersection. The ball probably traveled close to a quarter mile to get there.

Personally, I would just toss it in the trash dumpster....
I have a good friend who got so mad with his bowling on league night, that he took his ball out side and threw it down the street. Now mind you, at the end of this particular street is a freeway....a very busy freeway.
I dont know how that ball didnt hit not one vehicle....unbelievable!

Haha.
About a year or so ago my buddy had an idea of what he called "Urban Bowling". So of course, I tagged along to find out what he meant exactly. Basically use his same approach and release in Parking Lots, Streets, Country Roads, Driveways. Whatever he could hum them at without damaging anyones elses property. Then at the end of the day once the ball was all chewed up, leave it in the neighbors front yard to see there reaction the next morning. Not the brightest idea, but it was pretty interesting.
Im liking the bridge idea for an old unlucky Ebonite V2 laying around.... Haha.

When our alley got new pins, the mechanic we knew gave us an entire box of old pins. This church close by is on a huge steep paved hill, with a huge field behind the bottom of the hill. We set up the pins at the bottom of the hill and went up top with some old gear. It's allot harder than it seems to hit the pins from such a large distance...LOL... but about 30 tries and a 12 pack later I finally got a strike...

If you ever decide to try it, just remember to work in a VERY well ventilated area and cover your face. Burning resin/plastic is basically the equivalent of breathing in cancer. I had to stop after the first image because I was woozy and didn't feel great (working in small room with a closed window).

So... what you're saying is this:
Closet + used bowling ball + soldering iron = free high?
Man, this is a better discovery than "huffing"! No more gold nostrils for me!
