A first for me.
« on: January 04, 2004, 05:55:31 AM »
This is amazing but true and I have a bowling center full of witnesses!  I was at a tournament today and was shooting my second game in a doubles event.  I got up and threw my first ball and left a 4-9.  Of course, this made me mad.  I got up to throw my second shot and I threw it hard to vent my frustrations.  The ball went flying by the 4 pin at, according to the radar gun, a quick 23 MPH, hit the pit curtain. The ball bounced back into the left gutter and rolled back to the foul line.  There was a funny silence followed by several "Oh my God's" and "Damn!" comments.  It was really cool.  I used somebody's famous line from this message board.  I said loud, "Got a ticket?  Welcome to the gun show!" as I flexed my right arm.  Whoever said that line, I owe you one.

If I threw at anything 27-29 MPH, I'd bust a nut.  I'm no superman!
