......playful rib at your teammates?

We are all in the 180-220 range (but then again, isn't every team? ) on my Thursday night league.

When one of us leaves a 2-4-5-7-8 or a Greek Church or a big washout, it's virtually a race to belt out, "OK, now let's get the other half!".

What are our favorite ribs out there?

How about when someone tugs one real bad? Someone will act like they are jacking a round in a pump shotgun & yell "PULL".

Another one is when you leave a 10 pin. Someone will take a cell phone toward the approach & tell him to answer the ringing 10.

I don't know about you guys, but Nappy Headed Hoes is definately gonna be moved into my A list of things to say to rib people for a while.

If someone on my team throws a gutter ball on the first ball, we yell "Jager." That person owes us all a round. The whole league has picked it up.

If one of us throws a real bad shot, we have a guy that usually says, "if you wait, your ball will be right back."

I someone marks in the 10th and walks off, we tell him he has a "bonus ball."

Another good one is when someone stones an 8 pin or tosses it in the ditch just start yelling, "more hand!, needed more hand!"

I have a teammate on my Monday Night Classic League(mostly all 200+bowlers) he has grey/silver hair. He was talking one night now his wife bought him a THONG for valentine's day!

SSSOOOOO he brought this on himself. I said how he looks like Bea Aurther(probably spelled wrong). For those of you unsure who she is she was Dorothy on the Golden Girls. She also had a program in the 70s called Maude. WELL.....I have nicknamed him Maude and seemingly everyone is calling him that these days.

after leaving a solid 8 or 9, always had fun with "is there a proctologist in the house?"

or when in the pocket and leaving the 4/9, 7/10, or the 8/10 "this lane needs a plumber cause no matter how many times I flush, I'm still leaving crap."

If we leave a flat 10 my teammates and I will applaud that "at least we got the 5 out clean."  Same goes for stone 8's, "got the 10 out clean."

Also on flat 10's or 5's we'll try and copy a phrase from the 70's telecasts - "He got a handful on that one..."

If someone sails one to the ditch or tugs like crazy we'll yell HOLD!  We've done the HOOK! when it's in the gutter for years.

On the college team we have a yell from the movie "Saving Silverman" when Jack Black is running into a house he yells "A-COMIN' INNNN, YEAH-HAAA!"  We use it in big situations: when someone's on a string, 10th frame, winning shots, and the like.  That one's probably my favorite.

When someone is struggling and they finally strike we give them the encouragment: "Great strike, but that's the easy lane..."  We also use it when someone's killing it: "Yeah, but that's the easy lane, throw 8 in a row on the other lane..."

We have a guy who utilizes a lot of loft in later games so we all analyze his "Z-Axis" adjustments.

If someone completely whiffs a wahsout or split we let them know "a couple more shots and you'd pick that up."

I like this thread, let's keep 'em coming.
