Bowling, is a Comfort Sport !

[cheeni]

Have you ever stopped to notice that bowling is a comfort sport? Seriously, it's designed with the bumbling amateur in mind. Explain otherwise how it's the favorite sport of Fred Flintstone, Homer Simpson and yours truly. Duh! And how can I forget "The Dude", or his dudeness or el duderino, you know, if you are not into the whole brevity thing!

The dude (or dudette) who has the spare evening, and knows he sucks at every other goddamn sport known to human kind will make his way to the bowling alley. Of course, the inexperienced will fail to recognise this fundamental design idea and seek to perfect their game. Hah!

The experienced bowler is removed from the game. Ideally there's a bottle of beer or two making its way through your gullet when you amble up to your first ball. The objective is to maximise the time spent on the floor, no sense rushing things here, especially when you pay by the game. Now, don't be a spoil sport and begin making a contest out of it. Remember, it's all about the beer and the good times.

Pick a seriously heavy ball, and float the ball toward the pins. If you don't seriously screw up, the ball will land dead center almost at your feet and roll down slowly knocking the pins in its wake. If you need to use both your hands, don't be bashful about it, all serious professionals know it helps the game.

Enjoy the sporting good times - *burp*

P.S. The correct answer is - "The dude abides"

About 'The Dude'

Hey, its great to come across only the third Indian I know who has ever heard of and is a fan of 'The Dude'. My friend introduced me to 'The Big Lebowski' last year, and I have been completely taken over by him. Me and my friend thought we were the only fans of hin out here- well the world isn't so small after all. :)
