Bowling Laws

Deamon SG

U know the ones: if anything can go wrong, it will...it will...it will...

1)The importance of the mark is directly releated to the impossibility of the split.

2)You will never have the ball you need with you.

3)A double is never enough.

4)The nights you have yr most strikes will also be the nights you have yr most misses.

5)The longer the string of strikes, the greater the probability that the pin 10 will stand.

6)The nights you feel you are bowling yr worst are the nights you will score the best.And the nights you feel you are bowling yr best are the nights you will bowl yr worst.

7)When you bowl teams at the bottom of the league standings, u will always lose. When you bowl teams near the top, you will always split.

8 )A trukey is never enough too.

9)You will always find the shot in the 10th frame of the last game.

10)The trophy you are most proud of will fall apart 3 weeks after you are awarded it.

11)When you feel you have finally gotten yr game together, you will shoot the worst series of the year the next night.

12)If u got the first 3 strikes in a game, you will suddenly wonder what yr ring size will be.

13)8 and 9 packs will only apear when you are in a position to be "beer" by yr team.

14)The answer to any problem is a new ball

15) There wil always be too much oil or not enough.

16)Your friend will only tell you how he bowl if he's sure he beat you.

17) The nights you play the side pot, you will never shoot well enough to win.The nights you don't play the side pot, you will have high series in the house for the night.

18 ) No one ever know where the shot is.

How about the one where bowlers(some of us included) next to a lane that just produced a split waited till the other party throws the second shot before proceeding.

Unlucky they say Wink

This is also one of the unwritten laws of bowling Laughing

Read my signature......its another law.
ahahhaha
there are many written laws and one of them is trying too hard results in poor outings on lanes.
I agree. That's why, they say dun care about others, jsut play your game!

Guys, I don't think you understand what Deamon is trying to do. He's writing the "laws" of bowling in a satiritical pattern. In a mocking tone, shall we say. Some may be more familiar with the word "sarcasm".

Here are some more examples I wish to add to Deamon's list:

19) On a bad night/day, when you hit the pocket, the ball never has enough energy to carry, but when you hit the brooklyn, all hell breaks loose.

20) When you are bowling your horrible scores, you can always convert the splits. But when you need them on potential closed games or high games, you miss by a mile.

21) During league, your opponents - however bad as indicated by their league positions - always, always has a very good outing. And the week after, that same team will suck against another team.

22) The ball you want to buy is never in stock.

23) Because of (22), you always get persuaded into buying one of those in stock but you don't like much.

24) Two weeks later, the ball you wanted initially is shipped in in dozens.

How about everything you go toilet to do big business, there is no paper around. But when you go do the small business, there is plenty of paper around?

and harmzuay, WHERE'S MY INSERT TAPE!?!?!?!

Deamon SG

Thanks to harmy for explaining.
When i wrote this, i wwanted it to be in a colourful way. Come think abt, most of those bloopers often happen to us, so much so it becomes an everyday fact of life.

I agree with harmy's number 21 it certainly go hand in hand with number 7 Smile

And i definitely agree with number 20. In low game u tend to convert the split but not for high scoring game

Deamon

You're welcome. I do think it is a very fun thread. Light hearted. I'm sure you'll see more traffic once the examinations in SIM are over.

Meanwhile...

25) During the run-up to a tourney, you train and almost always post honour scores. But come the tourney, you shoot [email protected]#.

Well, sure don't hope that happens too often though Very Happy

26) Everytime you finally get some weight training done, you get fielded the following day for league, and play with jelly limbs.

27) You make time to prepare ready-to-use insert tapes for situations where you really need them. But come league night, you find yourself frantically cutting away while others wait for you, because you used them all up during training sessions.

2 Cool Everytime you take pains to make sure you have enough time to warm up before league, like having early dinner, missing a favourite TV programme, speeding, etc... you still end up late.

29) And when you DO get there early, it's always too early, and you'll still be putting on your shoes when everyone's taking their 5 minute practice shots.

30) Everytime you think you're on your way to a turkey/strike/7-bagger/perfect game, it never never happens. If you even considered remotely, like in the back of you mind, of it happening, it won't. But get distracted while playing, and you'll be like, "I got a turkey 5 frames ago? Since when?"

Chuan, good observation on Jae with regards to point 28. Guess that habit is infectious as another of your team member seem to have gotten the more serious mutated form of it Wink
