Perhaps I need to wake at 4am and go to a rally every Tuesday.

 :laugh:

I expected to be tired and bowl like crap on Tuesday, after rising at 4 to get the train to DC, spend the morning protesting, walking around DC, train ride home, and then attempting to bowl.  However, my first game was my average, and my two other games were both 20 pins above average.  ;D

The night for the team was a mixed bag.  We lost the first two games, but won the third game, and won that one by such a big spread that we even won wood.  Out of 7 possible points we won three, the other team four.

According to the standings last week, we moved up to the #4 team.  ;D  Not sure where we'll be after Tuesday's games, but we'll find out next week.

Front-Ranger:
Yay Chuck and the Bearly Bowling team!

CellarDweller:
After last week's mixed performance, we dropped down to #5, so that's not bad.

This week was a week better staying at home!  LOL  There were major text message issues between my team, and as a result, one bowler didn't show up, and the alternate didn't show up.   >:(  As a result we bowled one less person, and my last game was crap!  We lost all three games, and wood, so I'm sure we'll drop down even further for next week.

One bright note, next week is my week to do music, so I'm looking forward to that!

CellarDweller:
Oh my!

The team we played yesterday is piiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssed!


 :laugh:

We played the top team last night.  I assumed there was no way we'd be getting any winning points.  Well....Frank was out of town, so we has to use our alternate, Cristina.  She said she'd be there, no problem, and and we'd have our team of 3.

Ten minutes before I was leaving the house, Cristina texted me and said she couldn't make it.  Shit.  So when I got to the bowling alley, I talked to the league president, and he told me if any subs showed up, he'd put one on our team.  Before the game started, Keith was assigned to us.  I have no idea who he was, hadn't seen him before.

The highest score you can get bowling is a 300, his first game was a 280!  :o  Out of a possible 12 strikes, he got 11, and the one frame he missed was a spare!

I was in awe, to say the least!  The other team was pissed, to say the least!   :laugh:

On top of that, Pete (my other team mate) and I bowled over our averages, so the other team had to be perfect, plus extra, and they weren't.

We won all 7 points, and beat them by almost 300 pins.  :o

Wow, that's awesome, Chuck!  Wonder why this dude is just a sub if he plays that incredibly???
