how should i destroy my ball..yes really
« on: November 29, 2004, 11:16:16 AM »
i recently bought a used super charge..just wanted to try it out.

gave it to my ball driller guy...this week i go back for my drilling appointment he says it out of round and cant get the slug out( i guess because of the out of round?), he tried to get it out by hand but couldnt.....so i cant really use it and i dont fell like just leaving it "on the rack".

i soaked it in dawn and hot water to try to get the orange smell back(didnt work just phased the coverstock) and use the scent for a closet freshener but it isnt nearly as strong as by P.O.S. xfactor

so what should i do:

1) (dont know if it would really work)freeze it in my freezer for a day or more and do something with it(like spike it in the middle of the street like a football player)
2) can i cut through it witha hacksaw or a chopsaw(my friend has one to use on his modified extreme series latemodel dirt-track racing car)
3) plant it in the front/back yard
4) submit your own

i plan on documenting for you all and maybe add a little production value to it(a la the grizz)...it has no real use to me now but to take up space and i dont have anyone who i hate enough to launch it through their car window.  I dont want to show guys what too much heat in the oven does also(i dont want to burn down the house)

btw..yes i am bored

(like spike it in the middle of the street like a football player)

bowling balls can and will bounce...don't take it in the teeth, eh?

back in the day when beer cans had beer tabs, we carved out a trough along the ball track (full roller) and slowly used plug compound to mount the sharp ends of the tabs about an 1/8" protruding from the ball.  Voila!  Snow Tires!

Hollow out the inside, stuff it full of explosives, and ship it to Osama.

I heard a horror story about an idiot that wanted to get the oil out of his ball and, instead of baking it in an oven, he put it in a microwave !!! Needless to say, neither the ball nor the appliance survived this lunacy ... I would have LOVED to have seen a clip of THAT !!!

Got a spare microwave and a pair of binoculars ??? LMAO !!!

This is indeed true. I have seen them first hand being slammed into a concrete floor and bounce back well over 5'. That was done 3x and the ball is still in use today. I have also witnessed one being tossed off the roof of the bowling center into the parking lot, that didn't break it either.

Three thoughts:
I never destroy them - I just drop them off a bridge.  They make quite a nice splash (actually two - one as it hits the surface then another as the water closes up behind it.)

I've heard of one guy who took his Grenade, that had just "cost" him a tournament, and, by hand, dragged it down the freeway at 75 MPH.  (a major fry)

Or, and I want to try this someday, collect 5 of them, using ball plug place an eye-bolt in the thumb, and make a giant executive toy of them.  Hang them from a log, supported by a log frame, so they swing back and forth hitting one another.  Should really annoy the neighbors.

They're actually pretty tough to break.  The guy who dragged his grenade down the freeway started by dribbling it in a gravel parking lot; then came the trip down the freeway; then they stopped and threw it down a cliff.  After the fourth retrieval and toss down it finally split.  If I wanted to split one I think I'd put it in the oven and get it up to at least 150 then toss it into a snowbank - that should do something interesting.
