Bowled great for team in the morning, scored average, couldn't hit the same arrow twice in a row in singles and doubles and the pins flew everywhere.  Gotta love house shots!  Oh well, had a fun tournament with the guys and we're all going to get a decent amount of money back, so really can't complain. 

That better?

Could have said I had a great day, got some breaks, placed well, and made it a total figjam instead of telling a bunch a people who would never know any different how terribly I threw it.  Because we all know how impressive it is to say you shot 300 never hitting the same arrow twice in a row.  On the edge of my seat here waiting for congratulations, thanks. 

Not trying to be a dick, but you seem like a person who would get pissed off if I carried everything and I don't have the same skill level as you. while you're rolling good quality shots and getting 9 all day.

You could always donate your winnings to a deserving charity if you truly feel undeserving.

Let me know if you need my paypal.

To be fair, in his original post he did seem to be pissed that he wasn't making good shots...

I used to be, but I'm just a dick about how I bowl.  If somebody gets some breaks and beats me now, oh well, I congratulate them and move on.  I don't worry much about winning and losing, because you can only control how you bowl.  Not throwing the ball well irritates me.  I don't know how I'm supposed to be happy about getting something I didn't earn.  I just care about making good shots, which didn't happen in the afternoon.  Yeah, I got back every single bad break of my bowling career all in one afternoon, but what would anyone think if I spun it that way?  Obviously didn't bowl well, obviously didn't deserve those scores, but trying to find a way to spin it to make it sound like I did?  Yeah I know this way I just sound like an ungrateful dick, but too many people feel like they have earned something or deserve something, but fiascos like yesterday hurt this sport.  Seeing someone put stupid scores up for a few games throwing it like absolute garbage is one of the biggest reasons that competitive bowling is falling off the map.  The shot basically made it impossible to miss, and I know, because I tried all day. 

Also not sure how you're getting what you're getting out of what I said . . I said I bowled terrible and shouldn't have had anywhere near those scores.  Put a "1" instead of a "2" in front of all of them and that's what I should have gotten.  Yes, there's a thing called luck, but I don't know how I'm supposed to be proud of what happened.  That's like being happy about winning something by default because your opponent got injured.  I don't really care about the outcome or the final score, I just care about doing something well, and if the outcome or the final score doesn't reflect how you did, there's just a disconnect for me there. 

Last week in league, I needed the second strike in the 10th to win the team game.  I threw a great shot, stoned an 8, didn't flinch.  Just walked back up there and picked up the spare and sat down.  As far as I'm concerned, I made the shot, they just didn't fall down, I'm not sure how you can get upset about that.  A few nights ago, I never missed the pocket all night, all I left were a handful of back row pins scattered here and there, didn't jump right on here and complain about that.  I threw it well, that's all that mattered to me.  Then yesterday I got a lot of scores I didn't deserve, that bothers me.  I know in bowling you rarely get what you deserve, but house shots hurt bowling, point in case. 

Not trying to be a dick, but you seem like a person who would get pissed off if I carried everything and I don't have the same skill level as you. while you're rolling good quality shots and getting 9 all day.

I'm married, what makes you think I'm going to have any control over where the winnings go?!

Do you let her control the remote also?

There are no points for best execution in bowling, only the score.  Worry about throwing it good when you practice.

And if you think telling everyone how bad you threw it but shot 300, my 20th, isn't a FIGJAM I got some news for you.
