Title: You know you have too many bowling balls when...
Post by: imjouster on December 30, 2013, 03:01:25 AM
You are considering using 12 4 ball boxes with balls in them as a bed frame because your too cheap to go out and buy an actual bed frame and box spring :D.  And yes I'm seriously considering it haha.

My wife made this for me for Christmas.  There are 5 in my two bags for league and my undrilled still stacked away in the closet

How did she make it?  I'm assuming some kind of assemble-yourself closet organizer?

You're trying to decide which ball you purchased to drill next.

You have to make two additional trips to the car to get your equipment before league starts.

I have a friend whose wife finally told him no more when they couldn't get the chairs around the dining room table because the room was filled with bowling balls. 

Old BTM survey:

How many balls do you own?

1.  Two

2.  Four

3.  My garage is full

4.  And so is the basement.

Thanks. I was very happily surprised when I saw it. Very much needed for sure. Hope 9 of the balls are sold by weeks end. Sad when that makes only a small dent.

When you're well over the double digit mark, hardly bowl anymore, and am planning to drill 6 new rocks in a couple of months.

Current count is 13 with holes in them, a few to my friends, a few to my brother, and 6 nib in the closet. And that's WITHOUT the 6 new ones I want to punch.

It's better than being hooked on #crank I guess.

No offense, but you guys are lightweights!   ;D

You have no idea of what a true "problem" is when it comes to having too many bowling balls.

When you're either buying ball racks or making them so your floor doesn't look so crowded!

I just sold 7 balls - that leaves me with 11  -- 6 that I currently use - with 2 more  new releases that I am going to get on Jan 7.

Currently have 4 + a spare in the bag, and two in the basement, which both may get donated, just cause I don't see much use for them anymore.   I just donated a c-system 2.5, a widow, and a widow pearl to a hs league due to recent span change, and them being mostly gone for my shot.

I am adding one for sure shortly after jan 7th, some crazy company is bringing out a ball you may have heard of, it's got purple in the color.

I'm hoping to be able to save up and add either an Amp Up, or a Reax Version 2 Pearl before March.  Looking for a strong, late lane pearlized ball, the Totally Defiant is becoming so condition specific, I am probably going to take it's surface to 4000 and make it more of a dry lane ball.  I wish I could get a hold of a Critical Theory without paying too much for it.

When you take 2 triple rollers to league because school is out, the kids will be hanging around and you only plan on bringing your shoes home.

Then you tell the same kids to follow you home and top off their trunk.

Then, since you are moving you ask your friends if they want any balls and they come to your house to pick them up and you make them take at least a case.

And then the movers still have 80 to move.
