And it did! ;D
First game was a 117, my average. Next game was 129, twelve pins above average. Third game was a 160, forty-three pins above average.
My team one 2 out of three games, and lost wood, but the way we've been bowling lately, this was a big improvement.
:laugh:

Why I'm laughing?
Well, the expression of "losing wood" is unknown to me. I googled and the top result was Urban Dictionary. Which I sometimes think exists mostly of sexual references. So somehow I already suspected...
from Urban Dictionary:
1. Losing Wood
To loose an erect penis.
(During sexual encounter) Damm, im losing wood...
Then I tried to transfer this to your bowling experience...... three guys in the bowling alley........ Oh, nooooo! We're losing wood.......
:laugh:
:-X

Everytime I use either "lost wood" or "took wood" I get crazy looks from people.
Allow me to explain:
The bowling is done in three games, two teams playing against each other, three players on each team. Let's say that Team A wins the first match, 450 to 400. Second match, Team A wins again 425 to 400. The third match Team B wins big time, 600 to 400.
Each match is scored with 2 points, and an extra 1 point for 'wood' or most pins knocked down.
Team A had scores of 450, 425 and 400.
Team B had scores of 400, 400 and 600.
Team A won games 1 & 2, and eans 4 points
Team B won game 3. When you total the scores, Team A totaled 1275, while Team B totaled 1400, so Team B "took wood" and gets the extra point.
Final tally is Team A earns 4 points, Team B earns 3.
