I Love Bowling So Much That...
I moved away from the spot I was standing so fast at recent gig that my friend was playing as to be sure not to get injured by some drunken idiots trying to Mosh.
Back in the day I would have just kept an eye on them but now I love bowling so much that all I could think was, "One of those damn fools is gonna step on my foot and I won't be able to bowl. Eff this I'm outta here!"
What is something silly, stupid, or a little crazy that you've done for the love of bowling?
Hmmm...like bowling on Shabbos? Bringing my ex wife's Pomerainian with me? Pulling a gun on somebody who's foot was over the line?
None of those things. But I did practice last Friday while dealing with kidney stones. Wasnt too bad...a little Vicadin beforehand...bowled some...it didn't start hurting again until early the next morning. The doctor said they only hurt when they're moving. Fortunately, my kidney stone was courteous and stayed still while I got in a handfull of practice games.

I do the same thing in making sure I don't hurt or over stress my bowling hand. This week though, I burned my pinky while ironing my shirt for work on Monday. Luckily I tuck my pinky so the tip of it which has a nice blister on it won't touch the ball any way.Originally Posted by e-tank
Many other times I have done things a bit more gingerly to be sure I am not affected for bowling night.

How were your scores? I bet the Vicodin helped!!
7 years, Wow! You must be one tough son of a gun!
433 Series: 113-145-175That is a little crazy!

then
412 Series: 119-122-171
then
a 156 game.
The 171 could have been much better...had a LOT of 10-pin spares that I missed in that game. I didn't really notice much with the Vicadin. Everyone tells me horror stories of how it makes them loopy and drowsy...nothin. Maybe it was a low dose or they just gave me a placebo, who knows.

I'm not certain this qualifies as crazy, but I can often be seen walking across the street making hand/arm motions which may or may not look like bowling releases. Particularly on bowl days. (It's been a long time since I've posted on this forum... but I'm still playing... so I figure I'm still welcome. Hi.)
I only found my love for the sport earlier this year. I switched hands in August so I could still bowl pain free despite a compressed nerve in my back.
So my scores are low now - they're going to get better
