[0] Well, how do you spell the french for 'yeah'?
Yesterday I went bowling with the anime society, and we paid for two games. I scored pretty crap the first game (88), and then rather better the second game (145). But then the monitor read "player 1 bowl to continue". We asked, and the attendant said that since we were quick, we could keep bowling until our time slot was up. So I bowled the first frame, and got a spare. Good start.
The next frame, I got a strike. Excellent! A little air punch, and continued. The next frame: another strike. Wow! I've done that maybe once in my life before. Third frame: another strike. I walk away in a sort of haze of 'is this me bowling this game?'. The fourth frame, I'm feeling a little pressured, and expect to screw up. I bowl, the ball goes a little too far to the right... and then starts to curl back... 9 clubs down... the last one wobbles... wobbles... and falls over! I can't resist by now... I jump up and down and dance like an epileptic. The other members of the group are speechless by this point. Fifth frame: my hands are trembling, but I calm my nerves, do the run up, and release. Another strike! Oh my fucking god! And I'm dancing again, blathering like an idiot. "Five in a row! Five in a fucking row! Oh my god that's unbelievable!" The expression on everybody's faces was priceless. They're looking at me as if I'm Jesus or something. 8^D
Unfortunately, I messed up the next frame. (Perhaps on account of my hands shaking like I've got the DT's.) Nonetheless, I was anxious to complete the game; see if I could break 200. And then our time slot was up, and we had to hand the lane over to the next people. Aaaagh!
But what the hey. I'm just grateful for that amazing run. I got 165 points in seven frames... that's 16 points higher than my highest game score ever, and I still had three frames to go. 8^D 8^)
