[eugene02]

[Hot_pocket]

Haven't heard much about the company havent even seen it thrown but hey why not a free ball is a free ball lol

[striker12]

i could use a new spare ball mines soo close to being done maby 10 more throws with it and it will break in half maby its soo dame close

[Mike White]

Would it be pushing my luck to hope to win this?

[J Anderson]

Any thing is possible, no matter how unlikely.

[billf]

I'm guessing either old_lefty or fozzcuzm will win.

[TheSheibs]

Haven't heard much about the company havent even seen it thrown but hey why not a free ball is a free ball lol

^x2. I have never heard of Pyramid bowling balls until I came across this site. Guess I need to "google" it and see what I can find out. Anyone know any lefties who use one of these balls?

[backahead]

Who is paying for these giveaways? Are we supposed to donate, I haven't seen that request anywhere.

[J Anderson]

I think its a combination of Bowlingball.com and the ball manufacturers.

[beerframe]

isn't this a shiny new piece? I want a new bowling ball, but can't afford it. Hope I win!

[Hot_pocket]

i found out they are spare balls like eugene02 said good for burnt out lanes pretty good looking like i said a free ball is a free ball if you dont want a spare ball and dont think you are going to win luck will strike at the wrong time lol

[TheSheibs]

This might make a good "beginner" ball for my wife. I would really like to win it for her.

[martinezsam2495]

Yeah Shelbs good luck on getting your wife back into bowling!

[TheSheibs]

She actually wants to come with me when I bowl on the league monday night. There is also a no-tap Pro-Am tourney in August that I am entering for $30 but if you get the Nexus(P+R) it's another $100 plus $25 for drilling. So I might get that and have it set up for the wife. We'll see how things go monday night. If she starts talking about bowling then I know she has the "bug".

[striker12]

now deffently need a new spare ball finished my off at the bowling allie today from practicing cracked the cover of the ball where its not able to get fixed,

think i throw my spare shots alittle too fast at my crappy bowling allie that it just destroys my ball.

[billf]

Only a few hours to see if my prediction of the winner comes true lol
Good luck all and congratulations to the lucky, random winner.

Thats great, just don't discourage her or she might just buy the "bug" repellent. Other than that you two lovebirds should have fun, haha

[ursus]

Did Bill's prediction come true? I hope not, that would just give him a big head;)

[billf]

Did Bill's prediction come true? I hope not, that would just give him a big head;)

That's assuming it could get any bigger! lol

[Mike White]

Big Head Syndrome is a self correcting problem.

When yore right, it makes you look smart, and that makes the head swell.

When yore head can't get through the doorway, you look stupid, and that makes the head shrink.


Yes I know it's you're and your.
Everyone seems to decide which to use based on a coin flip.
My coin landed on edge, I went with yore.

[billf]

Now that actually made me laugh out loud. As for the big head, if I didn't get so many chances to prove myself wrong I wouldn't be able to go anywhere!

[GeorgiaStroker]

Your and you're are easy. You're is a contraction of "you are". If "you are" doesn't fit into the sentence then "your" is correct. If you hear Commander Data say "You're" then he is an imposter because Data can't use contractions. (I threw that in for fellow Trekker Michael) Now having said that don't get a Georgia boy started on the correct usage of "Y'all". And by the way there is no "You all" except in bad movies with Yankees playing the part of Southerners. :D

[billf]

Don't get me started on southern twang. I don't find anything sexier than a woman with a true southern drawl. I didn't care much for Reese Witherspoon until I heard her in an interview, now she is a favorite lol

[GeorgiaStroker]

There are lot's of great southern words. As children we learned that Nome is not a city in Alaska. Nome is the opposite of Yes'm and you say it to any female over about 16 years of age. My all time favorite southern word is Ahmoan. It replaces the entire phrase "I am going to" as in "Ahmoan go to the store" And the rest of the country is always confused by our use of "Fix'n". It means getting ready to do something, as in I'm fix'n to go to the store.

[billf]

My wife said that some time back, "I'm fix'n to make dinner". I said, "Damn woman, you been fix'n to do something all day but haven't got up off your chair yet." For dinner I made myself a sandwich. I guess she was spending the day fix'n to put me in my place.

[billf]

Over yonder is another good one. Even after all these years I'm still not quite sure how far that is.

[GeorgiaStroker]

Southern directions are a whole nuther thing. Over yonder is usually somewhere between purt near and a fur piece. Asking for directions will usually get something like. "Go down yonder to where the fillin' station used to be, and then bear left and go down to the first road past the tree that Bubba Johnson shot that big ole possum out of....and it gets worse from there LOL

[billf]

After 12 months in the desert I was informed it was my turn to take guys to use the phone to call home. I asked for directions. I was given the latitude and longitude and told, "make a 90 degree left at the dead sheep". The directions were spot on, dead sheep and all.

[GeorgiaStroker]

Speaking of southern things as I type this I'm snacking on a bowl of boiled peanuts (Georgia caviar) and watching Paula Deen making deep fried pecan pie.

[billf]

I remember my first deep fried pickle. I thought, why would they do that? I've stopped asking as I've learned anything can be deep fried.

[martinezsam2495]

Yup, have you heard of deep fried strawberries, my sister said they taste good.. But then again what doesn't taste good deep fried?

[billf]

I try almost any and all food but really try to avoid fried foods as a rule. Summer time means fairs and that means more fried food than any person should consume.

[billf]

Well it seems another winner has yet to answer their varied methods of notification. Hopefully they do soon so we can find out the winner.

[eugene02]

was thinking all along will your prediction be right.. hahahaha!

[martinezsam2495]

Shouldn't you be able to check the facebook?

[bowl1820]

Shouldn't you be able to check the facebook?

It's not post there yet either.

[martinezsam2495]

It's not post there yet either.
ahh I see...

[The German Shepherd]

No winner announced yet??

[billf]

Not yet. It seems that some people don't check their email on a daily basis. I still can't figure out how they can go days without checking on this site.

[martinezsam2495]

true.. how long until a redraw?

[eugene02]

dam.. seems to be too long already! haha

[striker12]

i already now its not me soo im going to have to call the guy at the pro shop to plan a day i should come in and get my bowling balls all resurfaced but the 900 global the ntus is going to get go down a grid cause it seems to be sliding abit too much and not gripping the lane soo if i put some teeth in it it might work better and at the same time guess i will be buying a new plastic ball

[TheSheibs]

hmmm...still nothing. I would have thought the winner would have responded by now. How many days do they wait till they redraw?

[billf]

Maybe they don't redraw at all.

[martinezsam2495]

That doesn't seem fair..

[Mike White]

That doesn't seem fair..

If life was fair, I'd be rich instead of so good looking....

Oh wait, I got shorted on that end also.

[billf]

I bet the winner was slmrcs. He didn't like the fact that everyone didn't agree with him about the pics of his nephew's hand in the ball and hasn't posted since.

[martinezsam2495]

I don't remember a post like that, he got mad?

[billf]

Look under pro shop talk; finger spans that are way too far off. People asked questions because the pics were with the wrist at an odd angle. He took it personally.

[The Mayor]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got an e-mail and the people that pick the winners have been out of town all week. They will be picking a winner for the Pyramid Path and the Hell Raiser Revenge on Monday!

Billboards? Damn, I thought this was bowlingboards lol

I typed the wrong name when picking on Sam...KARMA

[TheSheibs]

Nice to get an update on this. Two winners for Monday. I might have a chance.

[martinezsam2495]

Billboards? Damn, I thought this was bowlingboards lol

I typed the wrong name when picking on Sam...KARMA
haha,
oops I didn't even see that I did that xD

[billf]

I can't tell you how many posts I've made that when I go back and read them, I wonder how I missed the typo. I read them before I hit post but believe my eyes see what my brains knows should be there rather than what is there.

[striker12]

bill knows that i do that cause he use to make fun of my writing thingy majig what ever its called lol but its just a habbite and probly how i almsot failed my english classes in grade 9 and 11 grades 10 and 12 where more of reading books witch i slept threw and in grade 12 barly went to school but and my first langages and only (same word as before) is enlgish

[GeorgiaStroker]

Now my head hurts

[billf]

Striker, I cut you slack being from Canada and now you're telling me that English is your first and only language? If you talk the same way as you write, I contest that statement and request it be amended. It seems as if you write in your own language. Typos I can understand but in almost every post you simply don't bother with grammar and have no clue which word to use. The above post is a perfect example; where should be were, habit instead of habbite, probably instead of probly, which instead of witch, through instead of threw. So now I will attempt to translate your above post;
Bill knows that I do that because he use to make fun of my grammar. Now it's just a habit and probably the reason I almost failed English in ninth and eleventh grades. Tenth and twelfth grades were more about reading books, which I slept through. Twelfth grade I barely went to school. English is my first and only language.

[GeorgiaStroker]

Damn, Bill. You've been looking for a new job. They could probably use you as a translator at the U.N. lol

[billf]

I would love to find one that would let me alter the hours so I could coach the high school team but so far no luck with that stipulation.

[martin]

who's the winner anyway?

[J Anderson]

who's the winner anyway?

They are picking the winner Today. Actually two winners, The Path winner and the DV8 winner.

[martin]

isn't it about time? maybe later in the day, is it?

[The German Shepherd]

Patience, Grasshopper....

J.

[billf]

The past few weeks they have been waiting until the winner responds to a notification so it could be awhile.

[Hampe]

my first langages and only (same word as before) is enlgish

http://hotnerdgirl.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/picard-facepalm.jpg


Lol.....I always figured (maybe hoped is a better word) striker was just typing really fast on his cell phone and couldn't be asked to correct the typos. Striker, if that isn't the case, please don't tell me....I'd rather not know :).
