Title: How Cool Is This ??
Post by: Jeffrevs on March 10, 2004, 02:57:29 AM
I come home this evening from work, and what is on the porch, but a ball box ??  I say to myself, "hhmmm, I didn't order a ball!!"  MrsRevs says "When did you order a new ball and why didn't you tell me ?"

"I didn't I swear!" I said.......she says in a disgusted manner "may as well open it and see what it is.."

Well, I open it! SURPRISE!!.....MrsRevs bought me a ball for my birthday! How lucky am I !?! I've said it before,....she's the best!

A Chicago Cubs Vis-a-ball !!! How sweet is that ?!?!?

I guess this bowling obsession is taking hold elsewhere in the household

congratulations jeff, you have turned the corner , should be able to buy a few more this year no problem lol. my wife still seems to think bowling, hunting, are a complete waste of time and money... imagine that . actually she is getting better even though after 12 new balls last year, she is getting less happy to see the ups truck coming down the driveway..

Cubs, huh?
Are you going to help them and or they going to help you??

FYI Those Vis-a-balls are very hard; they make a great spare ball that hardly moves (at least according to a friend who uses a Coca-Cola ball).

Are you going to drill it to use or just put it up on the mantle and pray to it?

Congrats on the Birthday, and new ball

Did she get you the 13lb'er now that your older?

I use the USA Vis-A-Ball for spares, and even shot a 220+ last year at State Fireman's Tourney on the 5th squad (also my 5th squad of the day) with no re-oils between squads.

Good luck, and may you carry those pesky corners so you don't need to use the ball

It was 2/21....a little delayed w/the ball, ....but we were traveling and such so it was a little belated. She told me she did it purposely so I wouldn't be expecting it.....silly girl!

Way to go Jeff. I have the one with Wrigley Field on it undrilled on top of the big screen. My wife bought me mine for Christmas a couple of years ago. I guess these women aren't all bad!!

Mine came out about three years ago, before the Sammy ball. You can still find them on ebay once in awhile. They were auctioning a couple like you got at the Cubs caravan here in Rockford this year. One signed by Sosa, the other by all the guys at the caravan. Hope this is the year. Go Cubs!!

Jeff,
That rocks! How did you do it?

Every time I buy a new ball, Mrs Phat says I need to choose which balls I want to keep. I give her the puzzled look and say I got it cheaper than retail, but...

I'm beginning to like the couch and my dog dosen't steal the covers!

Happy B-day Jeff.

Cool looking ball...I can see the red brick wall behind home plate.

I wonder if the other side of the ball has the guy in the left field stand trying to catch the ball that caused the Cubs to loose the series???

Happy Birthday, Jeff



OOOOUCHHH!!!!!

Thanks Buddy........it was 2/21, but we were in Vegas and she was having a hard time tracking down the ball, then she had some issues w/ FedEX....blah blah blah....it's all good,...I'm going to pick it up today after work.....
