bowling
I used to be so good at bowling, not anymore. On Saturday my girlfriend and I took her son bowling. We didn’t use the big boy lanes we used the lanes that had bumpers on them and the balls were about the size of softball. The pins were the same height as regular pins but they were thinner, the ball relative to the pins was about a quarter of the size, where as, a regular ball and pins, the ball is about half size.
I think the best thing about the game was that it recorded your ball speed as it hit the pins. That’s dumb. Your gonna give me a hard softball, then put tragets up about 50 feet away from challenging me to hit them, then on top of that keep score for me AND tell me how fast I whip the little fireball down the lanes?
Bad idea. I got up to 28.56 mph with out actually turning it into a real softball. You would think those little wooden pins would be easy to hit…they are most certainly not. You have to hit them dead center too, they must be made out of some kind of dense wood. As my speed went up, my accuracy went down. I guess I have to learn how to slow my balls down so I can hit more wood……yup, I just said that. Breathe it in.
Onto the point of this post.
Did you ever wonder why your feet sweat in bowling shoes when they have the holes in the side for ventilation? Or why your feet sweat when your wearing flip flops? Or why in a movie where the heroine is getting chased and she trips and sprains her ankle, she spends the next few minutes screaming as the mad man comes up to her ready to give the death blow when all of a sudden she jumps up and goes Jet Li on their ass? Like spinning jump kicks and roundhouse kicks…and front kicks, cause they are all kicks, no punches to be thrown when you sprain your ankle, just pivoting on one foot while you slam the other into the guy.
What’s up with that? I understand it’s a movie, but seriously.
