Bowling Is Dumb: A Memoir by AJ

Posted by AJ Hofmann September 3, 2019 Fall 2019, Week 3 View Score Sheets

Intro: Normally, when Scott Murdock isn't sick and decides to use company time to do the write up, you'd get this on Wednesday. But since half the matchups are pending post-bowling scores and all awards are tentative, I (AJ), wanted to give you an early summary.

Chapter 1: *Well that was a horrible throw, definitely the lane conditions and I should kick the wall* "Oww! That hurt..." - AJ Hofmann

Chapter 2: "Shit, a post-bowling opponent?! Ok, we'll bowl *redacted* in games *redacted* and *redacted* in game *redacted*. Worse case scenario we go *redacted*."- Ian Goetz.

Chapter 3: "We can't win when Scott Murdock bowls multiple 200 games. We can't win without him." - Scott's Teammates.

Chapter 4: "I was thinking... we should all bowl *redacted* and let the bowling gods decide the outcome. Oh and let's change our name in the computers again!" - Ben Spencer (I like math)

In Closing: We don't have to hump Scoot tonight and can join The 200 Club include: Ben Spencer (200), Carl Goetz (230,217), Cory Chorpenning (224), Dennis Walling (204), Freda Schroeder (212), Ian Goetz (212,206), Jeremy Cline (242,230), Ken M. Wilson (254,202), Michael Gordon (214), and Seth Gunderson (209)

The 212 rolled by Freda Schroeder is this season's new high game among women.

Prologue: NEXT WEEK: Blah, blah, blah. If you've read this far and are concerned about next week's matchups, check back once the post-bowling team's scores are in... or more likely, just show up next week and see what lanes, opponent, and handicap you have.

  FROM THE GUTTER (GUTTER QUOTE)
"You know, you can absolutely file a transgression for all the horrible things, real or imagined, that happened tonight due to Scoot's complete failure to maintain any sort of standards in this league."

Aaron informing every team of their definitely-not-legal, not-even-binding, rights to being in the GutterAlley league.

    Any idea when the two post-bowling teams will be doin’ their thang?

  2. avatar AJ Hofmann says:

    I am not sure. Scoot passed on their post-bowling emails to me. If I get scores passed on to me before he’s back in town I’ll update them though!

    Cool deal. Thanks!
