Sorry, I just got home. Stopped by my grandson's ball game on my way home from the conference and of course, the bowling alley for a quick three game practice where I was recording to check my rotation, tilt and revs.

I agree with Bill. You can't change the rules in the middle.

[B]Number one: Last week when the Dude, (just before his big tournament, had a BAD FRIDAY, and his scores not even up to what he is capable of,,,,,,, ((I said, rather than have the contest this Friday, I will not claim victory, and we will skip this week))!!! I am not going to even put the scores down out of friendship, for the Dude! Everyone has BAD days! Just like some REALLY Great days!
So I gave some slack and decided not to post scores,,, and did not get the victories Ice man would have had! As I did not want him going into the tournament with any thoughts of loss in his mind! He did well in the tournament, I was there! So maybe in some small way the (letting the loss go THAT FRIDAY was a good and honorable thing!
The Dude has a very honorable, honest, fair nature about him, one of the things I admire about him as a young man! So in his glory of winning and bowling the first game he decided to make it a more fair and competitive game,,,,, (((MISTAKE!!!,,, I will never bowl a 300 game, but ONE THING this old broken down Iron Worker is,,,, is a fighter!))) Regardless as to if you think it was fair that we changed the format of our game, ((Like I did last week, out of kindness when the dude was down)), We many times make, (((as we did yesterday, side bets))) and in the end, whoever wins ,,,, Wins!!
Jason had something I doubt many get in their bowling years,,,, and I think he said he had two 300 games in high school! He is the better bowler, and I know that! But,,,,,,but on a given day,,,,, when the planets are in perfect alignment, and the earths gravitational pull is just perfect, EVERY OLD MAN HAS HIS DAY!!! Even this one! Great Job Jason, The Dude! [/B]
Ummm, Mike..I think you will bowl a 300 buy yet you don't? If you don't think so then you never will.

[QUOTE=JaMau24;47583]Further on when we were bowling, I left a 2,10 split and told Mike if I picked it up, he would be banned from bold for 3 days! and wouldn't you know it, I picked it up! What an awesome moment.. You should have seen how crushed he was.
Later though, he said if he beats me in this particular game, he no longer is banned for 3 days, but if he loses, he gets 1 more day added... (Might I add he said this after I already had two opens in the first two frames!! LOL)
Hey I had a open also,,,da,,,, look at the picture!! Iceman was not HOT Friday!! Iceman did not bowl a 300 game! ((HE who bowls 300 game, can achieve anything in life))
I don't think that was a unfair game... And remember all you friends of Iceman, none,,, NONE of my games have handicap added to score. YOU ALL know my thoughts on handicap!
Jason has a 240 average, and I have a 200! Don't be talking about FAIR to This Iceman!! Its not a level playing field when we first step onto the lanes!! Jason is the better bowler FACT!! FAIR,,,, NONE of you that back the Dude know what a Hell of a bowler he really is! I am so HOT now that ,,,, THAT,,, I going to have to go back to the freezer for a period of time,,,, I am starting to melt,,,,, and I hate that, but a pretty easy way to loose weight,,,, (( but its all water weight, I always get it back))!!

I was just giving you a hard time Iceman... I understood when I accepted the challenge that I already had two open frames to start the game... I thought I could overcome that deficit but I didn't. You won fair and square.
,,, ONE FRAME!! ((Not much to overcome for a young man that just bowled a 300 game I think)) It was frame 2,,,,,, YOU had two open frames, and the OLD man had ONE! Wow,,,, such a unfair deficit!!! Its almost laughable for ICEMAN,,,, ha,,,haaaaa,,,, Haaaa,,, LOL!
Ok,,, what Iceman has learned from this experience is not to take side bets from the Dude anymore, and he shouldn’t take any from Iceman!
There were 3 bets that took place Dude. One the originnal, then the revised bet, which we agreed to, then after you lost that bet, you had a pretty easy spare, that I gave you a chance to make in return for a few days of (no bold print or large letters),,, you picked it up,,,, whoooopppeeeee,,,, Ice man could have picked it up with One eye shut, and my left arm tied behind my back!!! ( that was a mercy give me to you!!) because Iceman is a nice guy, ok!
Then Just for fun,,, and because you were hot I ask you,,,, how about a game to give me back what I lost on that very easy spare I gave you, (because you were laughing, and way to excited about getting a few days knocked off of the bold print and Large letters!
I said ok,,,,,, guess what mr 300!! OOOOO my god,,,, it was the second frame already,,,, I had one open and you two…..(((((how unfair of the old soon to be 64 year old this coming September the 24, for any of you that want to send gifts)) To ask YOU Dude to make up that HUGE deficit!!! It was soooooo unfair!!!! Unfair my ask!!
I am so tired of all the: (don’t change the rules while in play!) I gave him some chances to win back some pride that he lost to the Iceman,,,, but guess what Dude backers, he is over 21, and made the decisions that he made!
Things are going to be different Mr 300 next Friday,,,,,, If I can keep from melting, I am so upset with all the crying on your behalf, WE WILL BOWL BEST 3 out of 5!! ((((((NO CHANGES, OR SIDE BETS))))!!
The winner will be who ever bowls the best PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
NO CHANGES!!! Etched in STONE! 3 out of 5! We have 6 free games due to league play! First game will be a warm up game,,,, Then the battle will began, and my god help your soul!! YOUR MINE MR 300!! Mine,,,,, do you hear me??? MINE!!! lol,,,,LOL,,, [/SIZE]

Hmmm... not once did I say it was a "HUGE deficit" or did I call it an "unfair deficit".. Not once! What I called it was a "deficit". Which is entirely accurate. I had two open frames, you had one open frame with a STRIKE. I would call that a deficit to overcome. Seeing as how I lost by only 12 pins, it's pretty clear and evident that the STRIKE WAS the difference in the match.
FURTHERMORE, I said "I understood when I accepted the challenge that I already had two open frames to start the game..." and later "You won fair and square" (I even typed it in bold for you this time). So I'm not sure why you are getting bent out of shape.. I don't really care.. It's all in good fun to me... You beat me! I said that. I'm not crying foul, or saying you won unfairly. Obviously I understood that I had two open frames to your one open frame when I accepted the challenge... good job! Congrats!
Cool down, Iceman.. (PUN INTENDED) lol
