Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

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:

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.

Ahhhh, now it makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. :-*

Gut Holz!

last night was not a bad night for my team, but for me, it was another story!

LOL

I had two games under average, one game I didn't even score 100!   :o >:(

My last game was on average, but I was really no help to my team.   :(

However, Pete and Frank bowled well, and we won two of the games last night, and took wood, so out of 7 points we earned 5.

Oh well, it can't always be prime time. As long as the team won, it's still a successful evening. :-*
