Boy, it has been really quiet on here this week. With 94touring gone for the week, everyone else seems to have taken off as well.
LOL, yeah I just got home and I'm like WOW no one posted anything while I was away. I did have a handfull of scores beat in the arcade though.

Just what you needed. The beatings will continue until the morale inproves. ;D
I just took back disco racer from Minicop. The blackjack game pisses me off too much for me to keep trying right now. I swear its rigged.
I was never much for video games back when these type of games were new in the arcades. Now I am even worse, but they do make for some silly time-wasting.
:)
Yes they do. I was trying to find a way to make it so people could play against other, like checkers or chess. But nothing compatible with the forum that I've found yet.

Damn you! :D
That's all right, I've been beating down 94touring on Castle Defender. ;D
If only I could figure out how to restock my arrows. I guess I keep hitting the time limit and that is how the game ends. ???
where is everyone??? ???
I'm here! ;D

Something you can do when it's a quite week.

Everybody just lingering around lately it would seem.
Nothing to chatter about.
BTW, that Woody near me has apparently been sold.
And I LIKE that kitten picture
i haven't been posting much lately but i do check often for new posts. :P
Yeah, me too. It's kind of frustrating when there's nothing new. It's really boring...Let's talk about the first thing that comes into our minds! Lol! :D
MPlayle- Lol. That's a 'homeboy kat' He drives a Mini with 'blinging' wheels. :D
ok....we've been getting lots of rain lately.....
Send some of that rain my way. We've been in serious drought for several years now. So far this year I think we have had less than 1/4 of what is supposed to be the average "rainfall to date" for the years. The entire area is WAY behind in rainfall numbers and on severe watering restrictions.
The desert is trying to reclaim south Texas (and it is winning)! Plus we have had over 50 days of 100+ degree temps so far this summer.
it's been nuts over here TONS of rain and flooding and a couple twisters went by us as well :'(
I would never live in an area plauged with twisters. No thanks.
Well, we had our bowling league today and I sucked! First game was a 132, second was a 188, and third was a 179. :-\ Blah... That sucks!
Ok you can have my scores last time I played 125, 108, 137
Hey Batman. Haha, no thanks. The thing is. I bowl often. It's the only 'sport' I play on a regular basis. I have my own balls (That doesn't sound right :D ) and equipment. When I first started I really sucked getting 70's and 80's. I've gotten better over the last year but still nowhere close to where I want to be. My highest game was a 248. No open frames, all strikes and spares. Usually when I bowl I can get one game over 200 per night, but not lately. >:( I'm left handed and I spin the ball like the pro's. So usually I am the only player on the left side of the lane, and since I hook the ball I am the only one drying out that side of the lane. The lanes here are very greasy and it makes by ball sluggish, so I have a hard time 'finding my spot' and zoning in. Really sucks!
Do I need to break out my box of bowling trophies? ;) Started when I was 12, started averaging 200+ when I was 17, tried the tour when I was 19 for a brief period (use to bowl with Tommy Jones in the Junior Scratch Association way back in the day), averaged 210-215 in leagues during my early 20's, high game 300, high series 788, bowler of the year in Wilmington in 2001. I think the lowest I placed in any area scratch tournament that year was 3rd. Averaged 222 for the season if I'm not mistaken and destroyed everyone in points. That included beating PBA haul of fame guys. Then I got out of it for 6 years untill recently to return with a 205 average, but pretty much suck at that average. Tried the PBA shot in some league/tournments they run here and struggled bad, averaging 188 for 20 games or so. But then on the flip side after rolling on the pba shot I went out and averaged about 235 during practice for about 30 games.
Ok Mr. 'I can do everything!' :D How about shooting? I can shoot a gun like nobody's buisness. Thanks to years of government training.
Well, with those scores, you would kick my ass on the lanes. That's when I break your arm and then I win. ;D So you know how much there is to bowling. That's cool. Most folks think it's easy. The people that go with their family once every 6 months, HA! Morons. I need to get a new spare ball. My strike ball is pretty decent, a $200 ball. Sometimes it can leave the 7 pin though! A left handers worst pin to get! I didn't start really getting into bowling until about a year and a half ago. Been bowling hard since trying to get my score up. I have a hard time scoring decent when the lanes have a lot of oil on them. The bowling alley on base, they oil the lanes WAY TOO MUCH!!! It's like a pig dipped in bacon grease! I'm about ready to sabotosh the damn machine! :D I like dry lanes. That's when I can pull off 220's & 230's without much difficulty.
:( so the rest of us will sit quietly over here by the candy machine..... I'm now listed in teh MORON league with everyone else. Shucks ;D
I know how to bowl just not make that fancy azz curve happen. My brain and my hand or arm whatever makes it happen don't understand what to do to make it happen. I just throw it like a moron straight and hope for the best. Best game about a month ago 188 or something like that.
I can plow on farmtown faster than anybody 8) so there.
Hey Batman,
At least you get to sit by the candy machine. I don't even get that "honor". :-[
I don't remember the last time I bowled it was that long ago and only for the sake of clobbering helpless pins. I don't think I ever scored well back when I would occasionally bowl for leisure - never tried league or competitive.

Damn! I knew that was going to come back and bite me in the ass! I worded that wrongly. It just seems damn near everytime I bowl, some family and their misbehaved kids get the lane right next to me and, well, get in my way! Mabey it's just living in this overpopulated country for too long, I don't know? I didn't mean to shoot sown anyone here. I'm sorry. BTW, I went bowling yesterday and really sucked! I'm going to get lessons. It's no fun anymore, I get so frustrated!! Again, I'm sorry Batman, I didn't mean offence. :(
;D no harm done here Mr. Anderson I thought it was funny ;D
The next time I go bowling I will keep the kids in the play pen and pull my britches up a bit so I don't show off that slot machine by cracky of mine. I will more alert to the bowlers next to me one of them might be you tryin to bowl that perfect game.
I somehow figured inside the matrix that outside interferance would not effect you Mr. Anderson. So back to the alleys for me to improve my image. By the way what's the next step up from moron bowler? Maybe I'm not really quit that low. 8)
no harm meant, none taken
Batman
Thank you Batman. I felt really bad for popping off like that.
Us single folk here are not treated the same as people with families. I think over the years I've gotten a bitter taste when I see families.
:D Ok, sounds good. But if I'm next to you, a round of drinks on me! You can work on the hook. It's like shaking a hand. Let the ball 'roll' off your hand. Let gravity spin the ball for you. It took me a long time to be able to get this. Use the markers to aim, don't look at the pins when you throw the ball. When you start to get this, you will notice how dry or wet the lane is, and adjust accordingly.
:-\ I do know the alley in town just got new synthetic lanes :o yea that's right were movin up to the big leagues I think. Not that I think about it I am a bowling moron. I don't even have a ball of my own. I use the loaners ha ha ha ! ! and and I use the house shoes with everyones foot fungus in them. Although, although they did get some new shoes lately along with the new lanes.
Only thing I like is that there are no moron ;D smoking inside.... WOW that use to be aweful.
Oh sorry if your in this group ;D
I spent $20 on bowling shoes, an easy investment. Drop $100 on a decent ball and they will drill it for your hand specifically. Your score will go up. You'd be suprised how much a ball made for YOU helps your score. Your not a moron batman! Knock that sh!t off! >:(
I second hand smoke two packs a day. :D Seems like everyone I know smokes. I don't, never have, never will. I never got the point to it. It's discusting, makes you smell bad and kills you. Nothing is more of a turn off than to see a girl "light up" ughhhh! :-X
Big influx of guest tonight....over 40 so far. Are we being attacked? :)
could be good news....people testing the waters ;)
Got all the way up to 53, but I suspect most were spammers trying to infiltrate the system. I always see members "registering for an account", but 9 times out of 10 it boots them because they're spam. I do enjoy the security this website has over the previous one I ran.
94touring,
I may want to start on "off forum" discussion with you about the site software and such. I have been a part of (until recently) Mini Owners of Texas since it was founded. Unfortunately, it is experiencing some "political pains" at the present time and some changes may be coming where a new website may be needed. The ease and simplicity of your site is an appealing option and I would like to learn more about how the basic system works.
Thanks,
Michael Playle
Yeah sure, I can give you the grand behind the scenes tour, lol.
Private email sent. Thanks!
:)
Hey speaking of bowling, my girlfriend kept snapping photos of my practicing yesterday with my phone. I just want you guys to check out this form, haha.
