candlepin is the way to go

I propose a trip to Sawyer bowl in Northboro, 6 lanes of candlepin goodness.

I grew up playing duckpin.

Never even touched "big balls" until after high school.

I will admit that Crystal and I have been a bit jealous at some of the bowling fun pics in Duncan and Punky's flickr accounts.

like many great teams or seasons of SNL there are eras that resonate with the fans more than others. World of Pain with Lumberjunk, El Toro, Dr. X and Chimpan Z is a monumental team. I will say however that the latest team with Lumberjunk, El Toro, The Shovel, Nelson Pindella and Donny is a stellar lineup.

We are in week 11 of our 20 week Too Many Jackasses summer season. We will be recruiting for the Fall/Winter season if anyone is interested.

GoKarts ARE fun!!!

Man oh Man!! Sometimes I miss Milbury Amusements!!!

Growing up here, I know only from candlepin at T-Bird and the Metro Bowl on Park Avenue (now the roller rink). There IS a duckpin lane in Billerica--the balls, a bit larger than candlepin, gave me one mean hand cramp after two strings! Wish somebody would reopen the old Central Alleys under the Palladium...there's probably 40 years of White Owl smoke still trapped down there!

Things went well this weekend.

Pretty Boys, 4 points out of 4

I love bowling...but not competitive bowling.

Wait wait wait.

What is this competitive bowling you speak of?

They could use the help. :)

I take it back. Sort of.

I hear rumblings from Dr. X and the Chimpan Z, that they are going to show up some Sunday, but why don't I see them on the lanes?

Too Many Jackasses miss you guys.

For those interested, we are nearing the end of the summer season and plan on starting up a fall league, probably in September. It is a handicapped league so you need not worry about your skill level. We have 20 people in the league that make up four teams, we can accommodate more people and more teams easily. We play every Sunday at 7pm at the Auburn AMF and it costs $15 a week. That includes shoes and 3 games.

contact me if you are interested in bowling with us dunc...@gmail.com

Does this mean we would be PBA bowlers? Will we be on TV? Will I have wear make up? Will Mr Bowling have to turn the sexy up to 11?

I like that idea but I think it would require each player to be a sanctioned member which requires fees. I suppose we could roll some of the weekly money into that fee but I am not sure if people would go for it.

It would be cool to be a USBC sanctioned league.

I know that it's $144 a year to join the PBA, but that's different that what I think you are talking about. If you find out more info let me know.

With the PBA membership you get A gold PBA 300 Ring the first time you roll a 300 game during PBA competition. Add an award diamond to your ring for each additional 300 game in PBA competition.

that's way better than a hand Turkey!

Tom Sellecks Moustache does not need any help. we're going to....bowl you over with our skills.

BEEF PIT!!!

This week was sad for out team... I think its the first time we let all 4 slip away. Good bowling Corleone family.

Nice job by Bowltron picking up the 3-7-10. That should not go unnoticed.

Plus, Lumberjunk with a 246 and a 230...WOW. Someone was locked in last night!

That is one good looking team right there.

Hey thanks, Doug! I didn't even think anyone saw it, then everyone started yelling and I started crying. Thanks for holding me.

If there is already a winner...Why is their 3 weeks left...do they still have to bowl?

ahh...I see.

What's going to happen is a date with BEEF PIT!!!!!!!!

we are one point behind the 'Stache. So the race for 2nd is definitely still on.

well, well, well, The Corleones knocked us off our streak last night. Good games guys.

for those of you paying attention to this thread that would like to be involved in the Fall season of Too Many Jackasses Bowling League, teams are forming now and the season officially begins Sunday September 21. let me know if you want in, here is what you need

1. $15 every Sunday at 7pm, for 19 weeks
2. a name by which your teammates will cheer you on with, and your opponents will fear and/or envy.
3. an insatiable desire to knock down pins with a ball.

If you are worried about your skill level, please stop. This is a handicapped league with all different levels of players.

5. impersonations of Geddy Lee encouraged.
