Sending my kid to Amsterdam would be the last thing I would do..


I, however, wouldn't mind going there myself.

Dang, this must be one of them tournament were you barely ever bowl. Just waste time and money. I don't think I'm going to go, one reason I don't want to (airplanes), and the other if I'm not bowling I don't want to waste time. I plan on going pro. But this isn't something thats mandatory.

Everything is wrong with airplanes. Check out MSN. Maybe you didn't hear about the plane that got grounded yesterday because a woman passenger had a flatulence problem and in order to cover up the odor, she lit a match. You want to ride along some idiot like this, and pay for the pleasure of doing so?

This is why I don't like airplanes
9/11
Dumb People acting stupid.
Being mistakingly shot down.
Bomb being planted on the plane.
Last be certainly not least, I'm afraid of heights over 50ft.

They sent me a letter in the mail. I guess it because I'm on the A honor roll and bowl.

My son got invited and he's not an A student. I'll bet USBC sells them the list of their members.

Wouldn't be a surprise if they had some side deal going on there.

Yea, if I pass probabley 30ft off the ground I'd probabley pass out or have an axiety attack.
From what you guys have said People to People is a tournament which really has nothing to do with good talent, (school work and bowling). No Offense to other people, but I think this organization is a kinda "scam". Although it really isn't, I don't think I'll be making any trips to Holland anytime soon.

I rember getting a letter my first year(of my total of 3 years bowling) and I averaged 160, had a 78gpa, woo hooo. I immeaditaly thought it was a scam and threw the letter away. there are way too many child prodogies in new york even for them to consider me. IDK what is going on with this but it dosnt seem right...
