I've been smacked in the head -- by my son practicing his armswing. Thought I was going to have a black eye the next day (he hit me on the cheekbone). Guess he's being raised right.

ok this topic is more than true at my house . he chooses pants that will sway right when he slides . he takes his bowling bags everywhere we go including to my parents house . it gets really bad and i knew that one day when we were walking thru walmart shopping for birthday gifts for our 2 year old . he turns and looks at me and says "she really does need a new set of pins and balls to go on the back of her harley ( now its her gator but) then it got worse you know is really bad when the kids start yelling bowling on turn off dora , turn off the rugrats . now can it get any worse yes it did . he walks thru walmart practicing his slide while shopping for groceries. you know its bad when i know that the latest stuff out for bowling is a better gift for him than new clothes . it gets worse . you know he is addicted to bowling when for your anniversary you plan to make a night of it at your local center so that you can kick his butt , just to show that it don't take lots of practice to beat him .
lol this is my life
buzzhead is all bowling so are our daughters .

Your spare room has more balls than the alley.

You keep all the old broken balls from your local lanes to make sculptures in the garden.

Your garage has more cleaners than under your sink unit.

you can tell everone EVERY shot that you played that evening.

you only do dangerous things with your "wrong hand"

You have your bowling buddies on all of your speed dial numbers and you have to LOOK UP the numbers of your family to ring them.

You always arrive home past midnight even though you finnished your last game at 10pm because you have to discuss the evenings bowling with the guys.

Your bowling forearm is twice the size of your other as is your thumb.

You know how to get to nearly every alley in the country, but you cant find your way to your mother-in-laws.

You always say "my misses doesnt understand me at all"

All of the following are true for me:

When you go on a 200 mile trip away from home you're heard frequently saying, "I've bowled there" every time you pass a center.

You have little brown callouses on the 2 fingertips and thumb of your bowling hand.

Your children know more about bowling than most adults.

You believe vacations are just opportunities to bowl in different areas of the country.

You bowled on your honeymoon.

Your spouse expects your 10th wedding anniversary getaway to somehow include bowling.

I too am guilty of using bowling related passwords, using my "other" hand for dangerous tasks, having a left thumb/forearm that is twice the size of my right, practicing my armswing in the hallways where I work, etc., etc.

Apparently I've got it bad.

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling is a very good sport as well.

Bowlingkid, I bought a case of new pins from my local center. I just asked the manager if she'd order me some. She thought I was crazy, but she ordered them anyway.

How much does a case cost?

Hey everyone! I thought this so funny, I put it into a Word Document. I got it down to one page. (40 answers in all, there were alot more than that.). I posted it at work and it got a good laugh. If anyone is interested. Let me know. I will send it to you.

You know you bowl to much when you leave a wobbling 10 pin and you stand at the foul line and wobble with it, and possibly fall if it falls. My friend was making fun of me because I was standing at the foul line wobbling along with a 10 pin

When you have to take the wife's car to go grocery shopping because your trunk is full of bowling balls.

When you stop at the bowling alley after your wedding reception to have one last drink (and to say hey to all your buddies).

When bowling terminology becomes part of your normal vocabulary (Hey I used two big words in one sentence!).

Not only does the owner know you and your game, but so do most of the employees at the center.

Even worse, you are known by name in several centers by most of the employees.

Going to tournaments or BR gatherings IS vacation.
