    I'm sure we could come up with a few more!

    1. Do you happen to own your own cannon? Nevermind, bad idea...
    2. Paint them orange and put them out on Halloween as jack-o-lanterns with the finger holes as the face.
    3. Put one on each end of a long metal pipe that fits in the thumbhole - instant free-weights!
    4. Need to prop open a door? Put a short piece of pipe in the thumbhole and then prop in front of door of your choice!
    5. Winter's here, you can epoxy three of them together and spray 'em down with fake snow - instant snowman! Put a carrot in the thumbhole for added effect.

    Come on guys, help me think of more...

    I had one that cracked on me. Took it out back with a claw hammer and proceeded to look at the core of it.

    Default My old balls

    Being a super hero, and 64 years old, I know a thing or two about Old Balls!! They might be old, but they have given me many happy Memories!! I play with them and they have become such a part of me, that to give them up would cause great pain!! Bowling balls are like a part of me! I could never give mine away, and will play with them until the day I die!! (

    Not sure if people know this but you can stack bowling balls using the thumbholes. I would shy away from using your own, but during moonlight bowling years ago we used to have contest for stacking the crappy lane balls to see which lane could stack the highest. Usually around 5 was the winner. If you do try this, it is best to make sure to start with heavier balls on the bottom and gradually getting lighter as you move up.

    Yeah this has nothing to do with the thread but maybe it will give someone an idea for using their old balls.
