I also am very transparent and post my USBC member number in my signature so everyone can verify/scrutinize me till their little hearts content. For some "strange reason", most of the bowlers on the site are afraid to put their USBC number anywhere on the site...in some cases (from a few years ago)...because they consider bowling a lot like "fishing" in terms of the stories they tell.
I COULD be a 200+ average bowler with one or more perfect games to my credit...if I wanted to bowl at the AMF center down the road...but I don't really see the point in that. Nowadays the USBC only gives you a ring for the first 300-game...so I'm gonna make mine legitimate. I want to look at that ring and KNOW...that it did NOT come easy. I don't want to look at it and think..."wow....I should turn pro! I have 5 300 rings despite being an 80% spare shooter who misses the pocket 1 out of every 3 strikes!"
And no...like most sane individuals...I am NOT moving to Wyoming. Is it better than riot-ridden Missouri? Probably. Actually, I've heard Wyoming is beautiful country and I like the fact that aren't a ton of people to ruin things...so I actually DID consider Wyoming as one of my possible destinations. But, like Missouri, my motivation for moving is to be close to my daughter...and she lives in central Iowa...so that's where I'm going. Maybe in 4-5 years when she goes away for college...but not before.
