We played the babes of the bowling alley last Tuesday night. Usually they bowl in pyjamas. Tonight was a normal clothing affair, though. Mid twenties i would say, all of them. The rigours of age had yet to wear them down to the craggy, hump-backed crones that typically inhabit the

In these, the dog days of the bowling season, there isn’t much excitement floating around the lanes. Just wet feet and spilt beer mixed with fried dough and the pungent tang of one old lady’s A535. At least I hope that’s what’s emitting such a stench. To keep the mind

To continue where I left off last week: this latest new wave of Thai opera simply wouldn’t exist without the efforts of the “big three”, none of whom would or could have had the same impact without the other two. The conclusion being, of course, that if that land mine

If you can’t out-bowl ‘em, out-drink ‘em. That was the motto of my first bowling league, which I will describe in the absence of a league night recap. I was placed on the DL last week due to a non-bowling injury (illness). Rumour was it would have been a healthy

Sweet Mother Mary, winter is here and it’s a righteous goddamn hassle. While apparently the milk-baggers out east in this fine country are enjoying the 20 degree weather we basked in for the month of October, November has come in angry with a sharp thumb to the anus of western

I woke up naked in a hotel room on Sunday morning covered in milk. There was nary a carton in sight. It was a hell of a Halloween party. After a mind-numbingly dull week of work the chance to let loose and drink in the joy of the season was greatly

Last week a little bug-eyed birdie told me I should be wiping the oil slicks off my ball. And wipe my ball I did. Every time I got my hands on that smooth 16 pounder I gave it a thorough rub-down. Boy, oh boy, playing with a sparkling clean ball

God bless the Duke of Argyll! If the youth of today aren’t the most annoying creatures on the planet I’ll eat my finest Sunday derby. Condor-sized prairie mosquitos and door-knocking donation guilt-trippers have nothing on these grating simpletons. I went to one of those Halloween corn maze dealies with the

Sometimes it feels strange to have another man’s ball in your hands. The weight might not be quite right or the holes could be too far apart or too small. Familiar, yet completely foreign. Given enough time spent holding it, however, exploring its cavities and getting comfortable with its heft,

Today I have a tale of minimal importance. No, that’s not right. There is no import to speak of here. Certainly not the beer. $8 at least for an American “pint” they make on-site. It’s almost criminal. I digress. My first year of league bowling started last week at the finest

Good evening! Fantasy Draft Season is upon us and the real thing starts on Thursday with a delicious matchup between the Bills and RAMMIT. I'll be in Las Vegas this week for 3 days to attend a wedding that was supposed to happen in 2022. In fact I have 2 weddings that

Good day to you, I hope you said your prayers and took your vitamins. This is the second last week that you have to deal with my ridiculoUsness. Honestly hat tip to Yeah Right, the absent BeerguyRob, and all of those who do a weekly post here. Your creativeness and
