Title: Interesting Ebay Auction
Post by: Urethane Game on February 10, 2004, 08:17:48 PM
I'm not sure if this is bogus or the person auctioning knows nothing about bowling.

Man, I hope I'm the winning bidder!  That would be a great addition to my current gear.  If I do win, God willing, I'll place it in the main bag right next to my Phenom Unleashed.

Makes you wonder if some bozo is trying to make money off decent looking balls they "find" on the rack at a local alley sometimes.  I use the phrase "decent looking" loosely here.

Once I figure out how to get this ball to throw itself, I'll be all set...

Was Merk Koth a great cranker or the guy that invented hemroid cream??

That one is still a mystery

this dude did probably steal the bowling ball from the rack in the bowling center- so he can sell it and get money for his heroin fix.

Come on Guys...one mans trash is another mans treasure right??  This may have sentimental value...to Mark Koth...or whoever...

The guy has to be a crack head, you should look at his other auctions, he has a mixing board for a buck, chevy chrome rims for 10 bucks. He's probably a thief and this is the quickest and safest way to get rid of the stuff.

AM not A CHICK OF BOWLING but I wanted to be in Manda's clique And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS! I'd rather blow it over with my storm, and 21mph ball speed on dry shots.

Hey Bigmac,

You serious,how old are you bud?  Merk Koth used to bowl doubles with Ernie McCracken.  Merk eventually made a ball with his name on it and Ernie ended here with us in this forum, right Ern? (just kidding BigMAC...its Mark Roth)
If you still don't know who that is then I'm too old to be on this forum...lol

That's it in a nutshell tenpinspro.  Merk and I used to tear things up in the worst way.  We'd act all drunk and then bowl suckers for some big money.  Merk was really a great player and commands respect on the lanes.  As for me, well I've only got one word for you: Barbiturates.  Had I just taken his advice and stuck with only scotch, I'd have a ball named after me too.  I bet it would have been called The Big Ern or maybe even The Crack.  I miss Merk to this day and wish he'd return my calls.  If he does, I'm gonna hit him up for the food stamps he owes me from back in the day when we were on the road, starving with no place to sleep.  This one time, he dressed up like a woman and, well, you can just about imagine what happened.  Let's just say that he made enough money that evening to pay for a room at the Dew-Drop Inn.  Those were the days!

I also didn't konw who mark roth was until I just did a little research on him, first time 4 time pba champ. First man to convert the 7-10 on naitonal television, many more accomplishments. Wow. Now I'm gonna have to bid on the ball just to have it, but I still bet it's hotter than he11 in the summertime.
