slowly sinking
We got hosed again at bowling league. Dammit.
I think we should change the name of our team to “Season’s Best” as that’s what everyone on every team we play seems to roll. I mean, come on already. Is the ENTIRE league full of sandbaggers? It can’t be. Can it?
We were up against one of the lowest performing teams last night. Straight ball rollers. 3 women and a guy, and the guy has been absent for ages, so his “big” 160 average got flatlined for a 150 absentee score. We gave them 87 for handicap, so with him being out they netted 77. And they slaughtered us. One of them had a 110 average, and was throwing 200s. 80 - 90 over, all night. Another one was rolling 50 - 65 over. Geexz. She lofts her little 10 pound ball almost to the arrows, it hits, skids most of the way down the lane, gets about 3 rolls in, and hits the headpin square on. Strike. WTF???
We bowled just a little over average the first game, and lost by 40. We came back as best as we could in game 2; I shot 197 and Mike pulled a 249 from somewhere and we won by 20. We had a poor showing in the 3rd, but they just got better, and creamed us by 150.
We all had a helluva time getting the balls to hook. Oil pattern must have been very long and wide, with lots of carrydown; even when throwing out to the 7 board we weren’t getting much of any turn. Tried going slow, tried putting more spin on the ball, tried going to balls drilled super aggressively. Didn’t work. All sorts of sick leaves, like 2-8-10 and 1-4-9 and the nasty 4-6.
USBC is talking about this Red, White, Blue oil pattern for leagues. If there is only one or two of each pattern per color, that might be a good idea. I’m getting a bit tired of random conditions from week to week, anywhere from bone dry and dirty to a wall to wall flood. It sucks. Even the pros only roll on one of six or seven patterns, and they know what those are in advance. I would rather have a difficult but predictable pattern than the weekly mystery crap.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
