    Since that has not yet been done, officially...it's hard to say that Iceman could pull it off. I mean, one of the bowling greats of our time, MWhite, fell to the Mighty Aslan TWICE as did the boy wonder ZDawg.

    You're talking about Iceman bowling outside the state of Missouri...a man if Ice bowling in the 80-100 degree weather of the golden state...I don't know. Obviously Ice is truly the most gifted and physically enhanced bowler on the website...and possibly the most intimidating...but maybe he should try to beat some of the other, lesser bowlers before making the leap to the top dog.

    The BEST way to beat Aslan....as I revel in talking about myself in the 3rd person...is to take him into a heavy oil environment (aka Vegas). Thats why I would actually bet ON a Rob M and/or an Iceman if it was a competition in sin city verus Cali. Heavy oil is like Kryptonite to Aslan. That may change soon...once I expend my arsenal...but as of now...heavy oil = BAD NEWS.

    And I'm anxious to DO the arsenal expansion...rather than continue to talk about it the way rv driver talks about eventually buying a bowling ball...BUT...I spent my last $5 on Mega Millions tickets this morning so I'm completely broke until I get paid tomorrow/Saturday. I'd really like to take a bite out of a couple credit card bills this month before spending too much more on bowling. And my gambling abilities have been quite "underwhelming" as of late:

    Net Lottery: - $1672
    Net Poker: - $2900
    Net Bowling: - $299
    Net Slots: + $740

    Net Gambling Profits: -$4131 : ( ( ( (

    I'm pretty sure VDub posted a picture of some kind...but can't see it due to work security measures. : (

    You KNOW I do that just to tick you off, right?

    Actually, I'm pulling the trigger on that little venture taday. (...and Aslan says, "'Bout frickin' time!")

    There is no way RV has been talking about buying his ball as long as Aslan has been talking about his arsenal.

    I'm pretty sure Aslan's arsenal building has been going on so long their are rubber balls in the bottom of that closet.

    Couple months. I'm a careful buyer. So sue me.

    So, just to put a cap on this thread, I had a long, heart-to-heart with the pro at my center this afternoon. He told me that he'd take care of ordering the appropriate pin height and top weight for my delivery. He's da bomb.
