I challenge Mike White...he disappears. Iceman challenges e-tank on my behalf...he declines to defend his honor!! Who is left!!? DOth California not have ONE TRUE HERO!!

    P.S. Bunny is officially disqualified due to being a woman. It's not a sexist thing...it's just that a "King" is a boy...not a girl...so I get to be King...even though in all honesty...on equal lanes...I think Bunny averaged nearly 20 pins higher than me over the course of 12 weeks. Granted, it was non-sanctioned therefore is no more than imaginary...but still. If we go to a matriarchal arguement where the Queen has more power than the King...then...I concede the thrown to Bunny. I'd be happy to battle her on low-oil/wood lanes where Aslan is far more powerful...but on medium to heavy oil, she's far too good for me to defeat scratch. Maybe in a 1-game format I could outscore her...but over a series it would be a long shot.


    Well, that IS an option. However...given my first rule of bowling is to pick up hot chicks...I don't think wearing a skirt is a step in the right direction. I'd do it...I mean, I'd do just about anything once...but if we're bowling in the Land of Blonde Goddesses known as Switzerland (or Sweden)...I'm afraid I'll need to be much more cautious about my wardrobe.

    My theory is…that M_White might be afraid to lose…because really, I have everything to gain and he has nothing to gain…so you'd hate to have an "off night" and never hear the end of it. And my theory for e-tank is that he "claims" to have a 190 average…but thats non-sanctioned bowling in one alley…probably the same lane each night…might even be no tap. So to face the "real deal" Aslan…well…what if he rolls a 128!!? Again…they have nothing to gain as the champs.

    Now…I'm certainly up for it…anytime. But Mike has a 200+ average and e-tank claims to have a 190 average…so I'll be looking for some handicap pins. Now, if they want to come to me and bowl on wood lanes…maybe I waive the handicap. But on a neutral alley…I gotta think Mike would spot me 40 pins and etank spot me 30. And if it's on their home turf…then I want more like 70 and 60 respectively.

    But the Aslan is all about put up or shut up…so as soon as Iceman arranges the event…which is sure to draw better ratings than the WSOB…I'm in!

    But blowing is extra. I'm not saying "no"…because I believe everyone has a price for most things…but I can tell you if MikeW and etank pool their collective resources…they're still coming up well shy of the number they'd need.
    I didn't know I had been challenged.

    After the holidays, my Saturdays will be open.

    Aslan, wasn't it you who said there shouldn't be handicap in bowling?

    NO...that was not me!! That was Jaescrub and Iceman who consistently roll 290-300 games but lose to "lesser bowlers" due to their handicaps.

    I am a FIRM believer IN Handicaps...and am a FIRM believer that those who complain about handicaps costing them games/trophies etc should step it up and bowl in scratch lesgues/tournaments/sport leagues rather than complain about it.

    Okay...then we just need Iceman to sanction a match between Mike White and I. Then we'll need a videographer...and to decide on a venue. If it's scratch, you're coming to Anaheim Hills and bowling me on wood lanes where I'll at least have a "shot". If it has to be "neutral", then we'll have to figure something out.

    The trick is "camera work". How do we video an entire game or series? Your average person only has a cell phone camera or point/shoot camera. My video camera still uses 8mm casettes for crying out loud. I've videoed a couple frames per game and have the software to edit and combine them...but it would be alot cooler to just video tape the entire thing including a cool pre-game interview session. It's the 21st century...the tecnology MUST exist!!?

    Try the app "Ubersense" (iPhone). I don't think it has a time limit on recording, but you should check it out.

    That's a great app, one of my golfing buddies showed it to me. Unfortunately I just upgraded to an android phone, and it literally is the one app that isn't available for android yet

    I have a Canon EX-ZR300, tripod, and a 32 gig sd-card so I can record plenty of footage.
