Bowling....that's what I need to be doing!

Bowling would be a natural progression for you.
Try to find some candlepin lanes where a bit of skill is needed... not those oversized pins and balls y'all favour in most of the states.

Hey you piece of ****.. why not raid your momma's purse and take my
bet... Your house against mine, if I can't provide the doctors reports
and prove Jess was completely incapacitated over the last week.... and
crippled up for weeks and months before that?

But you also have to prove that she took lessons from a pro while she
was in all of that pain, big shot! If you did force her to ride with a
pro while she was "crippled up" and "incapacitated", you are lower than
I thought and I didn't know that was possible.

Thanks, Donnie. Your view is appreciated. Actually, I was being facetious. I can't bowl because of a hand problem.

Kevin will post a link to "Kingpin" and tell you a bad hand didn't
stop champion bowler Roy Munson (not understanding it was just a
movie)
.

Can't wait.

If I spent a *lot* of money on a specially ground ball (to adapt to a crooked finger), then I could
bow. Using a regular ball my hand is in so much pain after about the third ball toss (or whatever)
that I can't keep the ball out of the gutter.

If you can't hold one of your oversized balls with the fingerholes, then my advice about candlepin bowling makes even more sense.

Something about that first part just doesn't seem right.....

Candlepin bowling has been credited as being introduced in the late
1800's in Worchester, Massachusetts. Being a MA native, going
"bowling" to us as kids was always candlepin. I never saw a 10 pin
alley until I was much older.

I've done both over the years but still much prefer candlepin.

My two girl cousins from the North Shore cleaned my clock in candlepin
bowling every time we went to visit them up there when I was a kid and
went to the bowling alley. It's tough.

You may have to dust off your skills and try to bring the World Championship back to New England.
Last year Nova Scotia took the title down in Maine.

I hope there is a future for this sport. A local lane was complaining that it's getting hard to find new equipment and one bowling alley in the Halifax Shopping Center didn't have it's lease renewed last year.
Seems they want to go upscale with their clientel.. such as Victoria Secrets, a new Apple Store etc.
