I want one! Roto Grip Rising Star was the first ball I purchased so I have a soft spot for Roto Grip.

Pulled out the Rising Star yesterday after a horrible first game and proceeded to roll two 201 games!!

Thanks!! Yeah, 110 first game. Ouch!! The First Blood was monster hooking so I tried playing inside but wasn't getting good carry. I pulled out the Rising Star, moved back to the outside and played the second arrow. Had a turkey in the second game, went clean with a double the third game!

Ice man wins a ball every 3rd Thursday...me and Bowl1820 get NOTHING!! How many posts do I need to make!! Does this site REALLY want me to make another 1600 posts!!?

Stop the madness...let me win a ball. Preferably a Mastermind or IQ Fusion or Zero Gravity....maybe a Deranged or a Dude....but ANYTHING really. I'll even take a Diva!!

Oh poo. I forgot to "like" this on Facebook last week...maybe thats why I didn't win. I always forget about Facebook. :mad:

9th!! Aparently I need to step it up.

But Iceman is correct...I win tournaments, not bowling balls. Let the lesser bowlers win new bowling balls so they can eventually compete with me.

Oh Man, that's funny! I remember I got in an argument with my Dad when I was a kid about how I thought The Globetrotters were a good team. I got so mad when he said that it was pretend and The Generals could beat The Globetrotters if they wanted to. :rolleyes:

I realize it's not how it actually is....it's just how I envision it....because you're a "hater".

My secondary imaginary scenario is that the software used to pick the winner has some kinda of flaw in it.. Like my IPod. For some reason, my IPod loves to play "House of Fire" by Alice Cooper. I don't know why, but when I start playing a playlist...of 70-300 songs....the IPod seems to always go to House of Fire early on in the playlist. My IPod just "likes" that song.

Well if thinking I'm a Hater helps you feel good about yourself go ahead.

If you "realize it's not how it actually is" then why say it, Don't try to pass it off as just joking. It's just a backhanded way of you "hating" against me, you do it too often for it to be good natured kidding around.

Just remember everyone here can read your posts and mine, where they can see you bring my name up all the time and making little comments related to me in your posts.

So they can make up their own minds about whose a hater.

In the meantime I'll be over here bowling and drinking beer.

Hey Blacksox1, you live in Florida!!! HOME of Bowlingball.com. You might go to Rich's house, not far from bowlingball.com, and mow his grass, or wash, and wax his Viper!! I am sure Aslan would, if he could!!!

Aslan you have to win some time soon, the Law's of Probability!! Iceman will pray to Bowlingball.com tonight, in your behalf!!

Maybe if you promise to do NOTHING BUT Cliff Notes on all your threads, AFTER YOU WIN THE GREEN Bowling Ball!! That way you will save them tons memory storage space!

Quit being negative!!! Go to the closet mirror, and look yourself right in the eye, and say: Hey,,, I good enough, to win this this ball, and dog-gone-it, I will win some day! Say that 1000 times,,,,, and see if you don't WIN A BALL!

IT WORKS ASLAN,,,,, Do it!!! (its REAL important to say it the full 1000 times,,,,, 992,,, or even 995 doesn't work!

Good luck!!!! Champ!!

Lucky strike. Some people call it Strike ball. Whatever you call it - you buy tickets like 50/50. If they call your number and you are a male you have to throw 2 strikes to win the pot. If you are female then 1 strike. So Tuesday it got up to $1,000 at which point they are required to pay out (something to do with tax laws / gambling / fundraiser law, etc.). So they draw a ticket until there is a winner. 10 people went and missed including 3 people with 220 averages - amazing. Our team bought team tickets and we were the 11th called so my team nominated me (probably because I know the sandal wearing legend that is Iceman) and I ripped off 2 strikes with the Melee for the $900 win for the team.

My original post about this is here: http://www.bowlingboards.com/threads/12340-Post-your-scores?highlight=scores

Well there's one for "Make a Wish Foundation"....thats an easy one!

I actually, even though it's kinda a toss up, would slightly prefer whining about not winning to the 170 posts a month of people begging. Begging is just irritating.

Damn,,,, isn't' this forum Fricken FUN!!! Better then un-reality-TV!!! Or as I call them ( Brain Dead Vegetation Time, of the GMO TYPE!)

Its a proven fact that Science has shown 10 brain cells destroyed while watching a 60 minute show!!

I would rather have mine destroyed with beer, then WATCH (" I married my mother's son, that became a woman, after I became a became a man, and now we want a huge family, but We don't know HOW!") UN-Reality-destroys brain Cells, Bowling will double them!!!!

1) By then there won't be a tour. It will just be called "Jason Belmonte and Friends" Tour (sponsored by Bowlmor).
2) By then everyone will be throwing 2-handed.
3) By then Storm will be the only company making bowling balls.

If thats the case I will start my own tour after I win the lottery


3) By then Storm will be the only company making bowling balls.

That would suck for you especially since all you do is make fun of storm and their scented ball. Since according to you real mean dont throw scented balls. and we all know the Champ that you are could probably beat most people scratch just by throwing a ping pong ball.

I don't hate Storm…they found a marketing trick that worked; more power to them.

I am more apt to hate those that buy a ball based on it "smelling". It's not Storm's fault. It's the people that go "Ooooooo!! Look at the pretty purple ball!! Oooooo…it smells like blueberries!! THAT'll make me a better bowler!" Duh.

I cant believe the others havent followed suit. Maybe its a patent issue. I don't know.
When I am in the proshop I do smell the balls but that has absolutely no relation on whether I want that ball or not.
I have bought a ball based on color before but to be honest I had never thrown anything from that company and wanted to try it out. Ball was given away pretty quick.

Now thats funny its all a C O N spiricy against Aslan

It happened not too long ago. One week Sara won a ball after posting like 4 times...then a guy won it who hadn't posted since the previous October. The site claims it's based on posts, but if it was based on posts...Iceman would win twice for every time someone else wins....so I think they just use the computer to grab a random Facebooker or site user....and then sometimes (like in this case) they realize it's a site user that hasn't logged in in awhile and they just have the computer grab another name.

"Could" there be a conspiracy? Sure. Maybe they have drawn Bowl or Iceman numerous times but don't want to keep giving balls to the same people. Maybe they don't want to encourage other users to "pull an Iceman" and create "Mike vs Me" and post 2400 times about nonsense. And I'm "pretty sure" the computer may have picked my name once or twice...but I really don't think Bowlingboards or Bowlingball.com wants to reward the "problem child" that not 6 months ago was on the verge of being booted from the site. But...thats the thing about conspiracys....it could just be my usual luck in that I NEVER win anything!! Lost our bid to take 3rd place in league last friday, got beat twice in poker this weekend, out of 20 lottery tickets...not ONE that paid even $1!! So me not being "lucky" isn't some strange twist of fate that can only be explained by a conspiracy of bowling illuminati. It's just how it is.
