Bowling God
« on: December 03, 2003, 11:07:25 PM »
Everyone talks about there being a bowling god or bowling god.  Sometimes he/she/they shine down goodness on you, other times misery.  

My question is what should we name this god/gods???  And is he/she/they men or women???

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294!?!?!

The bowling God is Clyde.  His name is Clyde.  Clyde is wrathful and vengeful.  Clyde has a son.  The mighty Humbaba.  Humbaba is the bowling god who actually deals with bowlers, hearing their confessions on a day to day basis.  Clyde, however, metes out punishments.  Please read the book of Revolutions I and II, as well as the Gospels of St. Earl, St. Mark, St. Dick and St. Walter Ray for more information.

You must also look out for the evil one himself, in some places known as STONESEVEN.  He will tempt you with the assurance of a higher CPL ratio and the allure of the cult of the "ballofthemonth".  Beware.

I do believe in the bowling gods.  They do exist.  My half pockets all carried Tuesday night as I didn't leave a single 10 pin. Result is I shot 750.  If the bowling god didn't look down on me, it could have been 650.  

So, please nobody tell me that there is no such thing as a bowling god.  I call the god lady lucky...

I want to have a 220+ average like everybody else around here, so give me fresh oil.

Bennett, my friend, give thanks to the bowling gods, but do not call them anything but their proper names, for they will believe you are having other bowling gods before them, perhaps even using graven images.  You shouldn't have written what your pet name for the gods are.  Ask for forgiveness or ye shall reap what you sew or sow.

Ragnar, can you give some specifics on any bowling Satan's, assuming they exist?  And, will this Satan (if it exists) exchange superstar status as a bowler (complete with titles, cash, and fame) for your soul?

What of those believers who practise the deviated worship of not sacrificing skin from their thumb, those who call themselves the 'thumbless'?

Those who debase the orbs by engaging in thumbless spinning have been tempted by the evil one, STONESEVEN, to replace the smoothness and reverence that Clyde seeks in true believers with mere evil power.  They can be provided with some worldly success, but since STONESEVEN's satanic powers do not allow him to create the annointed, they are refused entry to the circle of 64 and ultimately banished to the gutter for all eternity.  Occasionally, you see them trying to get out of the gutter, but their efforts only result in whatever orb is in the gutter being flung out.

I have, on occasion, been called in to exorcise these demons. Occasionally they take over the bodies of young, unsuspecting bowlers, bowlers who breath fire if you try to teach them the errors of their ways.  It is a mighty struggle we believers and followers of Clyde and Humbaba are in, against the forces of STONESEVEN, but, tho we may not individually survive our tests, we know we are helping all bowlers reach to the glorious light of Clyde and Humbaba.

Reading from the book of Palmed: "Ye tho I walk through valley of the shadow of tens, I shall fear no tapping, for Clyde art with me."
