Iceman thought he was FINISHED BOWLING!!

[tccstudent]

I am making an assumption here. Iceman stated that he was on fresh lanes. So I assume that he asked about the lanes. If my assumption is correct then they did have the responsibility to tell him.

I think everyone has miss read why ICEMAN is saying he wants to quit (which is load of malarky).

It's not because he had low scores, He's worried they'll think he was trying to cheat!

I still don't get it. You're in a league…play.

"But they might think I cheated!!" They might think you're ugly. They might think you smell bad. They might think you're an "***hole".

Moral of story: Who cares what other people think? If I quit things every time someone thought I was an ***hole….I'd never be able to do anything. I couldn't even sit down…or breathe….because my very "existence" will sometime cause people to think I'm an "***hole".

And of all people…Ice would be the LAST guy I'd think was afraid of "what other people might think".

Did you cheat? No. You bowled, got a couple lower scores than you'd like….found out a possible reason…and now next time you learned to ask the center about the pattern BEFORE bowling on it. Lesson learned. GIJoe claims "knowing is half the battle"…so there's that.

In regards to pre/post bowling your suppose to bowl on the lanes you would have bowled on at the regular time. If those are unavailable you take whatever the house gives you and it is basically the same for conditions If those are unavailable you take whatever the house gives you.

Also a lot leagues require a league officer there to observe, though a lot don't. Some also require you get a printout of your games to include with the score sheet.

Also your supposed to request permission 48 hours in advance to pre/post bowl, also Individual unopposed bowling isn't allowed unless the league has a rule saying it is allowed

Aren't you suppose to get the same amount of warm ups as a league night? This Saturday I saw a team in my league pre-bowling and they were given the normal 10 minutes of practice.

Well I've never seen anything specifically said, but any of the times I went as a a observer they got warmup if they wanted it.

This has been ONE HUGE learning experience for Iceman!! I decided to apologize for my lack of knowledge in regards to this Weird Set of circumstances! THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGIN, I can assure you all! Wow!!!

I decided to drop out of that league, so that their could be NO Crying, of foul play! I am still on 3 leagues, and that's enough anyway.

Had a good day Sunday,,, we won all four, and on house oil, NOT THE WHITE Pattern! LOL

Hey,, I am more upset with MYSELF then anything else in regards to this whole fiasco!

Sunday, the same day as this Big 22, I had a 214, 257, and 225 for a almost 700 694.

I am bowling much better now that I went back to wearing sandals, instead of bowling shoes!

Good advice Aslan.

The true value of this thread is that I've learned Iceman's weakness. Soon, when he and I are bowling on the PBA in a title match…I'll just accuse him of cheating and he'll quit. BAMM…win by default.

Iceman…did I "quit womanizing" after the first girl I asked out lied about having a boyfriend? Or for that matter…the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or….well…the point is…no…I did not. I persisted. And now…I'm creeping out an entire new age group and state of women…that would not have been creeped out had I given up so long ago.

So…think about that the next time you cry, throw a tantrum, and quit your league.

However…super jealous you're in 3 leagues. I'm trying to fund the one I'm in plus maybe join a 2nd in March…but it's not looking good.

I learned in sales a long time ago it is all about the numbers. So if you ask 99 girls and get slapped but the 100th says yes well that is a win and worth the 99 slaps.

"Thanks for giving me a chance Aslan!" "Are we still on for tonight??" "I will never,, NEVER forget last night!"
"You were all strikes with me, my Lion Guy!" "If you can Spare the time, would like to see more of you!"

Iceman we should patent some bowling sandals - a 300 on each shoe to signify your 2 300 games.
