Of course, in scratch leagues and tournaments it wouldn't matter, but the rule applies anyway.
Hmmm, that makes sense though 🙂

I agree with Joe, it makes sense. Shame people attempt to do stuff
like that, but they lie playing golf too. The shame of it all. 🙁

The question is, what I should concentrate all my posting skills on? Most all of you have seen me post on different subjects, but I want to give ONE subject a try.

Please help me decide a topic that I can talk about exclusively for the next couple days.

Definately the subject should be: Potatoes.

I agree, ever make a potato cannon? PVC pipe and a gaseous propellant can launch a potato a hundred yards.

Well, Before I read the rest of the posts...

How about the nature and workings of the minds of animals. Like a honey badger. For example?

Or "chimps" and those ever elusive "credits" they seek in order to make themselves puff up like mighty warrior kinda' thingys?

😲

<edit> ooops. Sorry RC. How about you just post about "chess" most phlabby one? That seems more straight forward and stuff. Sorry.😛

I've made a decision, and it was as simple as picking up the 5 pin.

When I was looking around for the potato stuff, I did find a page how to build a potato gun. I can't say it is the safest thing to screw around with.

If you lost a few fingers, you could never bowl again. That would be bad.

Do you bowl?

But do you have your own ball and shoes? You can't use the house gear to bowl. I hope you wear 2 sets of socks if you are renting shoes. Filthy habit it is. Think of the things you could avoid by having your own shoes and ball.

Things to have bowling I

1:1 Your own Shoes! This is the first thing you should have if you are bowling. You can get stink foot, so it is said. Wearing 2 sets of socks may not be enough.

1:2 Your own Ball! This is another key, as everyone becomes familiar with one ball. In rare cases, you may use 2 balls... one ball for heavy oil, one ball for dry lanes.

1:3 A Ball Rag! This is important rub oil off your ball after each throw. A ball will tend to slide if you do not rub it down. Keeping the ball free of oil will allow it to catch, witch is a good thing... so no stupid ball jokes, or I'll call you on it.

1:4 Other Things! You really need a bunch of other things to enjoy Bowling as much as I do. You will need grippy thing to keep hand dry, you need bandades, fake skin, talk powder, sand paper... almost anything you think someone might need at the lanes. That way when they ask you you will have it. They will know you are prepared to bowl any time, any condition.

I hope your bowling becomes more pleasing.
