What’s the big deal? They’re just people goofing off at work in the midst of gathering evidence for a fruitless war on drugs. Funny how the most addictive thing in that house apparently was the Nintendo Wii. Seriously, I could play Wii Bowling all day. That thing is like crack. UPDATE: Deadspin has the video.
This is Timmy, and in addition to sporting an English accent guvnah, he also has a pretty severe case of narcolepsy. And watching Timmy going bowling with his friends is amazing in every way. Someday I’ll have friends that supportive. You can either watch this video now, or just wait two days for College Humor to rip it and post it on their site instead of linking to us. It’s up to you, really.
Our latest angry bowler tale comes from Rocklin, California. It’s supposedly part of greater Sacremento; I didn’t find it to be that exactly, but I’ll allow as there are some nice folks there. ‘Course, I can’t say I seen London, and I never been to France, and I ain’t never seen no queen in her damn undies as the fella says. From Y! News:
Police said a dispute over bowling etiquette led one man to assault another with a 16-pound ball, knocking out one of the man’s teeth. They said a 24-year-old man hit a man in the face with the bowling ball during a melee involving six bowlers at the Rocklin AMF Lanes. Two groups got into a fist fight about 12:40 a.m. Thursday after two bowlers approached the lane at the same time. They couldn’t agree which should go first.
The suspect was being held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon in Placer County Jail.
So if you’ve never been bowling regularly, it’s considered bad form to step up onto the lane when someone on the lane next to you has already done so. That’s a lot to keep in mind when you’re wearing such funny-looking shoes. That’s where the amphetamines comes in.
A man was shot and killed after arguing with another guy in a New Orleans-area bowling alley last weekend. Jamal Dorsey, 22, later left the bowling alley with his wife and a friend when a black Durango followed them, eventually pulled up to their car and opened fire From The Times-Picayune:
When they got to the 3000 block of Americus Street, the Durango pulled up. Someone stepped out. Dorsey jumped out of the car to confront him and to protect Ashten [his wife], a friend said. But his opponent had a gun, the friend said, and he peppered an unarmed Dorsey and the car with gunfire.
Several bullets hit Dorsey’s torso, police said. Another bullet hit Ashten’s left forearm, shattering two bones, Harrell said. Their friend was hit in the leg. The gunman sped off in the Durango, and police haven’t yet announced any arrests.
As if I needed another reason to never go bowling again. Hey, fellas, wanna go bowling tonight? Sure, just let me grab my firearm in case someone tries to disrespect me tonight. If you’re so pent up about getting respect then WHY ARE YOU AT A BOWLING ALLEY? Bowling alleys are for awkward acquaintance get-togethers and adulterous rendez-vous with raspy-voiced women. If you’re bringing firearms with you on bowling trips then you are a coward, an utter, impotent coward. Unless you’re Marvin Harrison, in which case, hey man. It’s cool, it’s cool.

Over the line, Dude.
Okay, Thanksgiving is in two days. Time for turkey-related sports stories. Up first: Cincinnati’s Turkey Bowl, in which people bowl on an ice rink using turkeys as bowling balls. Why? Because it’s Ohio.
The person with the highest score after three rounds wins $100 cash and “WKRP in Cincinnati” DVDs including the series’ famous “Turkeys Away” episode…
The frozen birds used in Turkey Bowl are discarded store turkeys not intended for anyone’s table.
I think it goes without saying that this would be one thousand percent better with live turkeys.
Just a gentle reminder not to challenge our Lord and Savior to any contests. Though, I don't remember any bowling stories from the New Testament. He must have learned how to roll in heaven. Plus I just saw a commercial which shows they only serve Miller Lite in heaven. That's disappointing – I always imagined the afterlife would look nothing like Milwaukee. -KD
