I don’t know if I really want to join a league. Maybe. It was fun bowling, but what’s all this about buying my own equipment? What kind of sport is that? Personally, I like the stinky two-toned rental shoes, and chock marked orange and pink balls that glow in the dark. On the other hand it would be really cool to get to say to my boss, “Gee whiz, I can’t work late tonight - got a league game.” ---

Just went bowling the other night for a couple of games. Bowled a 135, 133, and a 120 respectively. My high games is a 185. Not bad for bowling about a total of 20 times or so in my life. Maybe I should take lessons and actually learn how to do it? Nah it’s better to be half blitzed and lob that damn ball down the alley. ---

Bowled last night as a matter of fact. My high game is probably the 123 I bowled a couple of months ago. I’m pretty happy when I break 100! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jack-has-the-bowling-bug/68268.md?page=1)
