Taking note of the failure to launch of a Forker Footie endeavor (I'm still in if talent and skill are not required, btw), I would propose a bowling team. The former Triangle Bowl in Richardson is now an AMF franchise and appears as central as we can get. The next league session doesn't start until January, so we've got plenty of time to practice.

I'm a bowling fool, if we can borrow the lane's balls and if we can wear uniforms and if I don't need to know how to do that whole spin thing. oh, and skill, if that's not something needed.

What I'm imagining is that we get together as a big group a few times this fall for fun. Because the league thing is every week, we will have to form a smaller group that is a little more hardcore. The advantage of being a hardcore bowler, you get to buy things like this.

I prefer to encase the skull of an actual relative in my bowling balls.

I'd totally be in! And Richardson is doable for me.

Beware though, I'm more of a precision bowler. Any old body can accidentally bowl a strike. I've moved beyond that and I prefer to bowl like a laser. I am expert at flicking just a single pin down... usually from the right side.

Whipsnap! Be impressed!

I'm in too. At least for the fall get togethers. League night depends on my schedule next semester. At least I'll be done with Spanish by then (unless of course I fail miserably this semester)!

I, too am game for a weekly/semi-weekly "support group" (beer therapy).

It'll keep me out of squeezle's hair while she's studying.

Apparently, the leagues have handicaps, so consistency is the thing. I went to the Triangle Bowl regularly in high school. Being 24 hr, Don Carter's East was a little sketchy and the Bronco Bowl was too far away, and sketchy but you saw the coolest strangest people there. The king of sketchy bowling back then was the Love Bowl on NW Hwy which I believe now has a Whirlyball sign up, but has been closed for a while.

i was a big town kid too. it was always a kick ass time to go bowling then go pay a dollar and see four movies. too bad they bulldozed the place recently.
