    Haven't been in a long time but I like it. I once bowled next to a guy who was by himself and ended up getting a 300, he was so laid back about it that it made me wonder if it was a normal thing for him. He claimed it wasn't but who knows, seemed like a guy who didn't want the attention.

    My all time bowling highlight is when I took a bowling class in school (yes an actual class) and we had a tournament near the end of the semester and it was me vs. some other guy to see who'd advance to the next round. I was down by quite a bit heading into the last 3 frames but got a turkey (3 straight strikes) to finish my game and ended up winning by 2 points to advance.

    Got my a--- kicked the next round by some guy who was very into it, but oh well. Guess I should probably leave this last part out of the story when I tell it.

    I love bowling although I only go 2-3 times a year. My high game is a 186, which I got when I was 14. I haven't matched it since, although I've gotten in the 170s quite a few times. I got 6 strikes in a row that game as well.

    Tell us your exciting bowling alley stories.

    I had a nice stretch I'm the winter going once or twice a week. Was killing it. Averaging 170's-200's nightly. Best game was 239
