Types of bowlers that crack you up around the lanes.
« on: September 30, 2009, 01:15:19 AM »
The spoiled rich kid:
1. I was visiting a pro shop and a kid comes in with 6 or 7 balls, all of them massacred. "My parents bought me a spinner for Christmas and I've been practicing"
2. A kid walks into my brother's pro shop and says he wants a new Jigsaw. here's the catch he only throws a 12lbs ball. My brother tries to explain to him he is really wasting his money and lite weight equipment uses different weight blocks, and he can get the same reaction out of a less expensive ball. Nope Mm and Dad say I can buy this one, I want this one.

the kid that uses a house ball for his strikes and throws a tropical storm for his spares with no thumb, and doesn't know why he cant make the ball hook on his strikes.

the guy that goes 250,120,250 because the second game he changed balls because he didn't carry twice in the first game.

We have this guy in our league, before he throws his first shot he raises the ball as far as he can over his head.  Then after his first shot, turns his body parallel to the lane and if he strikes does this dramatic, 5 second arm pump.  It's in the motion like he's pulling an invisible bow & arrow.  One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

If there is money on the line, and you punched out for 185 while the other guy shot 184, you'd run it out too.  I would.

However, I do know what you mean.

You may be the better bowler, but my car would blow the doors off of yours.

The guy that thinks every ball that hits the head pin (flush, light, BROOKLYN) is a good ball and should carry.

Year 'round shorts guy.

The rules Nazi.

The guy who has a different excuse for every miss.

The guy who compares everything that happens in league to stuff that he once saw on tour. He may have actually been there, or maybe he just watched it on TV.

And this one isn't a single person, but a team. I like to call them "The Village People". That team where everybody either just got off work or is bowling right before work and every bowler is wearing all or part of his work attire. One guy is a painter, one guy is a mailman, and so on.



at least we have a job now a days..

Something that cracks me up is when someone goes brooklyn and then kicks the ball return because it didnt carry... Often I see that.


How about the guy that goes Brooklyn and then expects a hand slap for such a terrible but lucky shot?

One of the guys in my Thursday league is a "dropper"...he drops the ball with a loud "BANG" on every shot.  The funny part is that every time he makes an errant shot, he shakes his hand like the ball got stuck on it.

The other night I watched him throw a shot right in the pocket.  As soon as he saw that the 10 pin didn't carry, he started shaking his hand like the ball got stuck on it.

"Birdman" - The guy that throws the "bird" at every spare he leaves as if every ball he throws is supposed to be a strike.

"Powder" - The guy that puts powder on everything.  

"Skinner" - The guy that uses way too much Nu-Skin.  I think he gets high on the vapors.

"See-Saw" - The guy that see-saws his plastic ball before every shot.

*the guy wearing the 25 year old dexter sst 1's and complains about his slide.

*the guy who never has any tape for his thumbhole yet always needs to borrow some.

*the guy who always seems to need to borrow a shoe brush yet never buys one.

*the guy who always misses 10 pins yet mumbles he's got to get that plastic ball drilled up.......yet never does.

Think i've done about 1/3 of these and seen almost all the rest of them.

Also beware of the 160-170 guys that 'know' everything (small centres are real good at having a couple of these)

They may indeed ''know'' everything, but having knowledge does not equal having good execution or having any talent.  Not even close.  Those of us with no talent have to work much harder and longer than those of you with talent.  Even then we tend to hit a ceiling far below your floor.  Congratulations.  Perhaps you should consider becoming a coach.  We don''t have anywhere near enough GOOD coaches.

The guy that tells you that they shot 750 tonight. Only to find out they included handicap.

The individual: They tell you how they bowled. When you ask how many the team won they say "not sure".
