8.4.08 Bowling

I have no Hare, therefore I am the Tortoise

I don’t know if it was me going bald that slowed me down or if it was me going slow that mowed me down. In any event, it is a chicken and egg story and in reality the deeper you go into philosophy the farther you get from bowling. I mean sure there is a certain Zen to achieving excellence on the lanes, but keeping it simple with a positive thought process usually is plenty good enough to win the day.

Throw Ball, Pins go Boom.

And it seems the X-less Turkey 4 Lunch (AKA Lunch Money) had all the X’s he needed all night long as he recorded his first 600 series, and became the 3rd member of that club in the Norris 6..

Sure there was a lot more going on than that: Josh and Katee, Professor X and his Joba this Joba that, and his Lebron and Kobe said they’ll be up this and that (which once again put on display his uncanny prognostication skills), there was 6” to the right, name changes that confused the hell out of some people (I won’t mention names), free bowling, an extra rich money game, desert island music talk, and of course “Nobody puts Baby in the corner!!!”

But in the end, it was once again slow and steady that won the race, as people threw up turkeys like they were rotten, the old Blue X (Who???) went with the “you bowl what you eat” theory and served up BBQ spare ribs all night long and snuck into the 10th frame with a shot at the Turkey eater it came down to a confusing final ball with the bucket (2-4-5 for Righties) left to pick up. The Tortoise could hear comments of “he’s already got it” and “nope, he still needs to pick it up” and with the big money on the line, no idea what he needed to pick up the win, and all of the five exclamation (!!!!!) excitement going on. He missed the 2 pin six-inches to the right…..

…… but he knicked the 5-pin which was all he needed to sneak out with the 1-pin win.

He was later heard to say “thank god I didn’t use 6 exclamations!!!!!!”
