Title: Jason G.
Post by: card79 on June 17, 2004, 05:53:11 PM
Hey I got to meet Jason last night and it was truly a pleasure.  It never fails to amaze me.  I have met quite a few people from the site and everyone of them have been good people.  Jason came down to my home house and did a little practicing during our summer singles scratch league.  

He was a very nice guy with a great bowling stroke.  I think he is much too hard on himself in some of his posts about his ability.  With me bowling at the same time as him I didn't get to see everything, but the times I did get to see he appeared very smooth and I am sure it is just a matter of time passing before he gets his stroke back going again.  Met Jason's wife as well.  I do feel sorry for her.  She could have done much better than him.  LOL just kidding.  I gotta take a poll sometime too with the exception of SrKegler everyone I have met from the board has been above average size.  Are we just all big?  I don't know well enough ramblings from me.  If you guys ever get a chance to hook up and meet Jason I would definitely encourage you to do it.  Good People.

I have met a few guys from here as well.
They are not all big, just us

Next time I am in the Columbus area I will have to set
something up with you, Jason, and a few of the other Columbus
bowlers on the site.

I was actually asked to leave a buffet in columbus when I was in college.  On Thursdays all the offensive lineman would go out to dinner after about 2 hours the manager came over and asked us to leave.  He even suggested we not ever come back.  Oh well.  Anytime you guys want to get together let me know.

Jason.  Thanks for the kind words.

You guys should come to Dayton, I'll turn you on to a really good Chinese dinner. And we've got two nice bowling establishments within just a mile or two of the resturaunt I'm thinking of. No joke, this is no buffet, but simply the best Chinese I've had anywhere. The entrees are so much that those of the "big boy" class take home half of it. Mmmmmm good.

You guys talking about large folks and buffets made me think of an old bridge partner.  Dean Ellis was/is 7 feet tall and when I met him weighed about 560.  Now I'm big, but he dwarfed me.  And yes, I've been out to dinner with him twice when he got thrown out of buffets.  The place that does steak and all the shrimp you can eat had enough of him when he ordered his 600th shrimp.  The pizza buffet tossed him after the (I think) 3d very large pizza.  He now, as he says, works for a bunch of guys named Luigi, laundering money in Vegas.

I bet a guy would think twice about keeping any cards up your sleeve with that fella at the table. lol

Ken, Dean has been know to have a million, cash, in his pocket.  I asked him if he ever got nervous carrying that kind of money.  He said no, because 1) no one would ever fool with him anyway, and 2) everyone in Vegas knows who he works for.  It's weird to watch - he gets on the phone and speaks a code for a while then takes the money to the sports book and makes a bunch of bets.  Apparently there is a way to guarantee breaking even or even going plus when you have that kind of cabbage to throw around.

I could give Plant and Heave a few lessons.
I am at least traveling the entire length of the ball return.  It just doesn't look that way because of my size.

Glad you could help him out Andy.  Was a little worried when I saw he locked his post.  Thought maybe he had left the site.

Better check the weight limits,  with Card79, Livespive, Kendog and now this new cat we're talking some serious tonnage.

Got to bowl Wed nite, well at least I threw the ball 72 times.  Kinda reminded me of Reno.  I'll practice up, see if I can't give you a little competition at the Hoinke.

Invite Jason G along, if he's single, maybe we can fix him up with the Princess.

UPDATE!!!!!!!

Ate dinner with Kendog and his wife last night after bowling.
He said he ate some before he left, but I don't know, I think
he bit off more than he could chew LMAO.

I think we might have to set a limit on the number of times that Ken
has to go back to earn Big Boy status.  Say 5

No, but it was a fun night had by all.
