Doesn't T GOD = kotm (king of the mill)?
I left the bowling business in 2009 and took off 5 years. I would lurk here from time to time even during my time away from bowling. It's crazy that this March 30, will mark my 16th year on ballreviews. That's actually right around the time I first started bowling at 16-17.
There was a really bad period on this website years ago when anyone who had a great wealth of knowledge to share, or would answer people's questions with expert insight the trolls and misinformed would argue back and forth with the experts to the point that a lot of good members left.
Throw in the political mess from the Miscellaneous - Non Bowling Related forum and you drove away another half of the community, who political views aside were here for one reason..... to learn more about a game they like/love. The fights there spilled over to the point that no one respected each other's views on bowling itself. Lots of great people left this place, but bowling's home is on social media for the true growth of the sport. This site is a great resource though for equipment.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Gotta admit! I was one of the contributors to the "WILD WILD WEST" days we had on here when we got into politics, on the Miscellaneous Forum. I had some serious adversaries, but I made a few friends as well. And I still hold the view that, "I was right, dammit!" LOL!
How about the narcissitic, ever-ego expanding "Peachee"? It was fun just reading a lot of his mythical, non-sensical, funny posts!
I always thought Nicanor was like a Greek god of bowling. His posts had so much info, I couldn't take it all in!
Me and Russell aka jabroni used to go at it, about politics! (oh yeah...Robadat, too!)
Famous quote from Pchee2 that always made me laugh:
I bowl simply to pick up chicks and I do this by using manly 16 lb balls and throwing the big hook. Lots of revs and very fast. The pins don't stand a chance and neither do the chicks. Chicks dig power and manliness they don't dig fluffing the ball with boy weight 15 or girlie 14. Chicks want a real man's man.....someone tuff and buff. These characteristics in men are hard to find in the bowling alley. Ladies, look no further your search is over. The Peach is the last manly man in bowling.
pchee2<~~~sprays the lane with manly 16 lb balls throwing the big hook fast while averaging a buck sixty two and 26.35 CPL.And Ragnar Floggurass....that highly intellectual and existentially minded bowler, that made you think!
Or Srlunatic, Mumzie, Scolai, Nodsleinad, Inverted 1, or my all time favorite Phillip Marlowe???
These folks were all REAL "CHARACTERS" as well as bowlers!
