The Good, The Bad, and The What Were You Thinking.

I know it's been awhile since I posted. Please, forgive me for my lack of attention but now here is a new tip. The good, the bad, and the what were you thinking? There is good and bad in every type of bowling. In league bowlers, the good is that they are courteous and know the rules of the game. They know when to wait for the other bowlers. They have their own balls, that is a big plus since I'm responsible for putting the balls away. League bowlers congratulate each other whether they make a good shot or not, and they get very excited when you make a great shot. The only problem with league bowlers is, well, I won't say the only problem, every shot is for the win. By that I mean EVERY SHOT. They take their time, every time they step up to the line. For goodness sakes, just throw the ball! I could be a 7-10 split and they would still spend ten minutes trying to figure out how they are going to pick it up. When we all know, odds are, it's never going to happen. They also know everything there is to know about bowling, including the machines they've never seen. Imagine trying to repair the machine in the back of the bowling alley where the pins get sorted and all the sudden someone up front is pushing buttons because they know that if they push that button everything is going to work the way it's supposed to.
Now, they are not as bad as the average bowler. I take that back they are as bad. It's just a different kind of bad. As much as one kind of Bowler cares the other doesn't. Which is why there is good and bad bowlers. The average bowler is happy-go-lucky, likes to laugh and generally have a good time. Normally they don't care about the score, even when it's low. If a pin is missing,that's to their advantage. Where a league bowler, if a pin is missing, the world must stop until it is corrected. The average bowler generally is not hard to get along with, there are those that do not respect common courtesy when it comes to who's turn it is. They are also much louder than league bowlers and generally more obnoxious. I know what your're thinking...How can someone be happy-go-lucky and obnoxious at the same time? Trust me, it's possible. The last thing for an average bowler they will play with anyone's balls. Where a league bowler will only play with his own balls.
Now, for what were you thinking, there are those select individuals who think bowling at 12:30 at night and drinking way too much beer is the perfect time to become best friends with the cop who works at the bowling alley. There is nothing better than to watch the expression on the cop's face as the drunk is trying to explain to him that his not as drunk wife or girlfriend is the designated driver. The whole time I'm watching this play out the only thing I can think of is that it will happen again the next weekend, like it always does. Well, that's it for now. So remember, Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and the drunks as far away as you can. Till next time, Happy Bowling.
