[Aslan]

Want it for daughter!!!

[MICHAEL]

put me down! Wife!

[Amyers]

My wife would love this ball

[Dude779]

My wife doesn't have a pearl but would be great for the mom in law, LOL!

[rv driver]

This would be great incentive for my wife to become more interested in bowling -- something else that we could "do together."

[Jeral999ok]

OK I back, and I want

[Chris Carney]

I would like one

[larry mc]

want this for my niece

[Jeffb0077]

Would give to the wife!!!

[tccstudent]

I would throw this myself

[Aslan]

I would throw this myself

Yeah, but you're ***. Wait...little alarm just went off...site may not find that comment "funny"...I shall asterisk it. <-----self preservation.

Joking aside...I actually would too. I know the original Diva was on my wish list...but;
A) I have 11 undrilled balls.
B) I really, really want to get my daughter into the sport...and I have held off getting her a 10lb tropical breeze because I hate to waste $110 on a ball and drilling if it's gonna sit in her closest and never get thrown. But if I WON one...then I just have to have it drilled for her and if it sits in her closet I'm only out drilling costs.

[ragstormfan]

A couple of people that bowl tournaments with me love this ball! This would make a great addition to give me an option besides my solids and hybrids.

[Bowling Grandma]

I would love a new ball but not sure what I need so to win one and only have to pay drilling costs would be fantastic.

[STRYKER]

would be a nice gift for my dad he needs a lighter ball but cant afford one at the moment

[Shane8668]

looking at this ball for my wife!!!! would be nice to win it for her!!

[Geneo2u]

real men can throw pink

[Sylvia]

I'd play Happy by Pharell.

[Perrin]

I've heard nothing but good about this ball. Would be fun to beat some of they guys I play against with a pink and silver ball... :)

[MICHAEL]

real men can throw pink


good luck Gene,,,,, !! LOL Not just pink,,,, But HOT PINK!!! (:)

[hutch187]

I will ride to the Bowling Alley on my Harley and pull out my pink ball if I win

[foxie25]

Would go great with regular diva I own

[sara2117]

I want this ball sooooo bad!!! Would be my first DV8. Love the color too!

[JJStriker]

I'd love to win this ball for my sister, two of her favorite colors with an awesome core and rg. It'd be a great graduation present.

[foxie25]

This would make 2/3 of my DV8 arsenal I am putting together

[BrandonHarding]

The Diva is a really pretty ball, and I would love to use it personally. But I'd definitely have to hook my Mother up with it. Most deserving person I know to get a random gift for no reason. She's da bomb.

[MICHAEL]

Not for me, but ICEWOMAN!! Please put me in the drawing!

[rv driver]

A Diva for my diva!

[dachaukid]

I need a bowl that will work on wooden lanes and synthetic lanes

[Jeff taylor]

My wife is on the fence about getting back in to bowling, I think this would sway her back to the game

[rv driver]

How This Works:

1) RV Driver wins Diva
2) Gifts to She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed
3) S.W.M.B.O. stops complaining about RV Driver being away on the lanes
4) She gains interest in the game, and begins bowling herself with new Diva Bowling Ball (Thanx to Bowlingball.com)
5) RV & Wife bond more closely due to shared interest, becoming closer as a couple
6) "Couple Cuteness" spreads like warm rays of sunshine throughout the bowling center
7) Like ripples in a pond, good will and love spread into community and on into the world
8) Opposite sides of the aisle in Government come together
9) Major world powers unite in brotherhood
10) world religions join hands in unity
11) Bowling as a sport credited with uptick in worldwide well-being
12) God goes, "Awww...." and bestows grace and blessings upon bowlers everywhere
13) Aslan rolls first 300 game and subsequent 900 series
14) Stops unbearable thread snarkiness
15) World becomes balanced and safe for all humankind

Ha ha that is good. Not sure about Aslans 300 though. He can't get his first

[rv driver]

Ha ha that is good. Not sure about Aslans 300 though. He can't get his first
Also: #13a corollary -- Aslan actually drills and uses all the balls in his closet.

[foxie25]

Now this will make the last piece of my puzzle. Go great with my diva and brutal

[BrandonHarding]

Seems like a lot of people want this for their wife, pretty good hobby to have with your spouse! But you really want the ball for yourselves. You divas.

[ragstormfan]

I guess I may have commented on this once, but whatever! LOL. I should get an extra entry for going through this twice!! LMAO

[vdubtx]

Congrats larry mc on the win. :cool:

[Aslan]

How It REALLY Works:

1) RV Driver wins Diva
2) DOESN'T gift it to his spouse
3) She gets mad and calls him names and insults his mother so he throws the ball at her.
4) She gains interest in divorcing him and gets the Dica and the rest of his bowling balls in the divorce settlement
5) RV can't afford to bowl anymore and wife throws all bowling balls in dumpster because she has no interest in it.
6) Bowling balls kill homeless man sleeping in dumpster
7) Bowling balls now considered "dangerous weapons" and require a permit to own.
8) Iceman gets harrassed by ATF for owning too many of these weapons and is ultimately declared mentally unfit to own them and they are confiscated.
9) Iceman no longer has interest in life, wife leaves him, he becomes unibomber hermit.
10) Aslan, sad that he lost the only other person that posts as much as he does becomes more and more snarky and eventually drops an "X" bomb in an arguement about 2-handed bowling and is banned from the site.
11) Without Iceman and Aslan, site dies...bowlingball.com dies....sport as a whole dies.
12) Probowlers fall into deep depression. PDW ODs on cocaine. Belmonte tried to become the next Crocodile hunter and is eaten by a crocodile.
13) Crocodile gets ill from eating a 2-handed bowler and dies.

So as you can see, RV winning means the end of bowling, this site, 2 marriages, and the life of a homeless person and a crocodile. The only beneficiaries are RV's wife and PDW's cocaine dealer.

I'm sure nothing would be said about the bowling ball collection in your closet or are they only dangerous after holes are put in them?

[rv driver]

they're drilled to the same pattern as the holes in his head. ;-P

[Aslan]

Those are a secret. I hide them behind the drugs, explosives, and actual firearms so the ATF can't find them.

[rv driver]

However, since the NSA has been lurking here, posing as a pro shop owner, they now know where you keep them. Oh, the HUMANITY!! If only RV had won the Diva, none of this would have happened!

[Amyers]

Now that you've posted it you'll need a new hiding spot. I suggest my closet

You wouldn't know what to do with my balls.

Hey. Stop tricking me into saying stuff that could be misconstrued!

Maybe I'll run a contest where if a person can guess every ball (manufacturer and name) AND their weights...by looking at the picture...I will give them one (minus shipping).

http://www.bowlingboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1148&d=1399246167

But I don't know...I may have already given that answer in another post and just don't remember. Plus, one ball that I got after the Asylum is missing from the picture.

[larry mc]

yeah me , thanks bowling boards

Well at least if I had your balls they would get used

[Aslan]

Please don't elaborate on that...given you're from West Virginia I don't want to imagine some edited scene from Deliverance.

[Amyers]

HA HA. not me personally but I do know some people who fit that description.
