[MICHAEL]

I really would like to get another brunswick ball something fierce. I only have 1 brunswick ball and i have 2 ebonite and 2 storm balls and I have an obsession to just get 2 of every brand. Its driving me NUTS!!!!

[sprocket]

This ball has a similar differential to my old Strike Zone. If I won it I would lay it out very much the same way. I would love to have a chance to try it!

[PauL757]

this would be a great addition to my arsenal. Brunswick has some great pieces out right now.

[bigjimbo316]

Really would love to win this new ball. Been wanting a new ball to start out for a while. 2nd half of my season starts in two Wednesday's, so this would be awesome to try out.

[ragstormfan]

Brunswick could hook me if I win this one and if it's good!

[Aslan]

That is SUCH a bum kiss!! COME ON people…QUALITY CONTENT! I want some interesting facts in your posts.

At least e-tank or zdawg or mudpuppy or one of those guys I always mix up….at least they said (during the last contest for a Melee) that "Melee is their favorite fighting style"…which was funny.

BE FUNNY!! Or interesting. Or just not a total suck up!

For example…despite needing this ball…to fill the last…crucial point…in my 166 ball arsenal…despite needing it for the times…on Tuesdays, with a slightly lower than normal humidity, low tide, in an AMF center that starts with a "B"…I NEED this ball because it is Red…and Red is the name of a really dumb movie…and I like dumb movies…so therefore, I need this ball.

Also, Brunswick is super duper awesome and I love them and all they do…I even once smoked weed with their head sales/marketing guy. But it was cool, because it was purely medicinal. I have Brunswick shirts and pants on right now. I'd have Brunswick underwear on if I wore any. I named my dog Brunswick. And my cat Melee.

PICK ME!!

You KalIfornyeh people are weird instead of smoking cigarette you just grab weeds. You can come here and pick all the weeds you want out of my flower garden. Keep me from having to do it. Unless your talking about that stuff from that song "Okie from Muskogee"

The Melee I have seen this ball roll I have a friend who is on Brunswick's Amateur Staff who is throwing one right now. It seems to carry pretty good and it hits hard. I bet I could make this work for me.

[cdvon]

Nice looking ball

[Blacksox1]

I am looking for a nice symmetric. Check. Polished equipment. Awesome! 500 grit angular reactive resin. A high performance ball at a great price on bowlingball.com. What could be better ? Winning it !

Origin of the word Melee from Wikipedia:

The French term is the feminine past participle of the verb mêler "to mix". Nominalized, it refers to any confused tangle or agitated scramble, in particular unordered combat. The term descends from Old French meslede, from Vulgar Latin misculāta "mixed", from Latin miscēre "to mix"; compare mélange, milieu. Like other common foreign-derived terms used in English, the word is sometimes written without accents (i.e. as "melee").

My God that's interesting

[Aslan]

Thats way too informative.

Plus, we've found out the key to winning is to take about 3 months off from posting.

Which means Iceman and I will NEVER win..EVER.

Wait…how did Iceman win??

Hmmm..??

From Wikipedia:

In 1873, the Brunswick company merged with competitor Great Western Billiard Manufactory owned by Julius Balke to become the Brunswick & Balke Company, incorporated with a capital stock of $275,000. In 1884, another competitor, H. W. Collender Company of New York (founded by Hugh W. Collender), was absorbed to form the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company (or B.B.C. Company for short[3]) with capital of $1.5 million.

The company expanded into making a number of other products. Large ornate neo-classical style bars for saloons were a popular product. Bowling balls, pins, and equipment led a growing line of sporting equipment. It popularized bowling balls of manufactured materials, vulcanized rubber at first; earlier bowling balls had been solid wood.

[Aslan]

HA! You said "wood".
