It was a Happening!

It was a moment of mirth and sadness, highness and lowliness , interchanging of ideas and musical moments, but that was after the bowling was done and concert arrangements were made. The night started before that with a blowout of NCAA Championship in front of the largest audience that had ever seen a blow out in the NCAA Championship (Lucky them, they got to watch the whole thing). And in a time even before that (in a linear fashion), the morning had kicked off the MLB season which would lead to the long enjoyable days of summer and culminate as the leaves begin to fall of the trees and the world goes into a winter slumber.

However it was on that day, such as it was in between time and timelessness that our hero/protagonist (Me in this case) had an epiphany, if you will, that he indeed needed to “Be A Better Bowler” or a BABBS as it would turn out to be.

In essence our Hero had to take his bowling game from this old 1939 Furthur Bus:











And turn it into this new and improved old school Magic Bus













And it was on this bus that our protagonist met Ken Babbs (yes that’s right the very same name that would subliminally prove a boon to the bowling game), one of the original Merry Prankster’s. The feeling and mood was infectious and the acid in the kool-aid was substantial and whenever something is substantial and infectious….

Life flows forth Good times are had The compass loses North And the brain goes bad

And so it was during bowling…

There was Sam and Dave screaming HOLD ON, I’M COMING!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN4DHY_9gOs

There was an A’s pitcher that not even A’s fans or fantasy nuts could remember

There was the passing of a boutique, the legality or illegality of which is still indeterminate, but the owner definitely goes by Pablo when the Rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
There was a Minnesotan Farmer named Gaylenn with just the cutest little shoes and the cutest little interest in younger men
There was jumping on the table and some Jerk Surfing going on
There was karma and jinxes trotted out like horses at the Kentucky derby
And there was love, peace, and happiness; extended in practicality to the simple act of helping one another out, being kind and generous and it was that power that propelled the rocket ship everyone rode to the stars and beyond the whole night the acid test took place, err I mean the bowling games took place.

Poolboy was a witness
Red Line was a witness
Lunch Money was a witness
Tortoise was a witness
Jelly D was a witness
And there was Ken Babbs reminding us to “Be A Better Bowler” and brought us to the realization that at first, a bunch of us were going to go in a station wagon. (but) then it was getting too big for that.
So we jumped on the bus, and indeed it was magical.
PS and who wins you ask?
We all do.
