  i finally put 5 strikes in a row together tonight. problem was, the game looked a little something like this: 80 63 7/ X X X X X 80 80 way to make a spare.
actually, in the second game, i let the f word go about as loudly as i've ever done it. felt so good. shot a 531, which in any other place would be a disaster, but on the fort, i'll take. for now. speaking of bowling, i've decided to bring the rest of the world into the fold as far as our bowling lingo goes.
i figure we've been bowling at lunch for about 6 or 7 months now, every monday and thursday. after all this time, we've come up with a million terms to describe what happens out there, so for those who don't get to roll with us, here you go: Stew'd: this was probably the original. Stew has a propensity for picking up the 7 pin and then the 10 pin, and only those two pins. i saw stew do that twice in one game and i told him it was the most amazing thing i'd ever seen. and just to give you some reference, i've seen the version of transformers where they say, 'shit.
' it's more amazing than that. so a stew is when you throw two balls and get a 1 both times. Hews: we have Shawn 'Hews' Mathews to thank for this one. to spare hews the pain, i won't recount the lurid details of how he became known for throwing a double gutter. unfortunately though, someone had to be saddled with that shot. when you see a double gutter, just say you saw a hews. JAM'd: leave the 7,9 or the 8,10? not only did you just get boned, you also got JAM'd. Jamie E. Johnson has been JAM'd his fair share, and one time it just became his shot. kudos JAM, you're a split. Nebe'd: Nebe loves throwing the ball right down the middle and leaving something in the middle. it's one of the things that makes bowling wonderful. and by wonderful i mean frustrating. and by frustrating i mean i yelled the f word as loudly as i could because i freaking left a 7 pin when i really could have used a run of strikes to make my series better, but no, that just wasn't possible.
anywise, anytime you throw a ball and you leave pins in the middle, you got nebe'd. that's just all there is to it. Jen'd: no one gutters and then spares like jen. it's the thing she does. if only this trend could be reversed ... but no. then we'd have no one to name the shot after. Conti'd: the most recent development. you conti when you choke down the stretch.
i'm not sure if conti or hews has the worse bowling debacle tied to his name, but it really doesn't matter. Skiz/Reverse Skiz: 7 pin/10pin. on a side note, when you try to sell your house to someone with terrible credit who has no business buying a house, we call that Jik'd. in fact, any sort of real estate scam is know as a jik, or just getting jik'd. nuff said. by the way, i'm down about $25 again.
