Kegeln = German for bowling.

I didn't know campgottagopee (CGGP) was German.

Bowling is fun! We had a bowling alley right down the hill from my middle school and we used to bowl in Gym class and once a week after school we could bowl 2 games for $1. Me and a few friends used to bowl for money..usually pretty small stakes..nothing like in Kingpin. At college I took bowling for my two PE credits. I got an A- in bowling..doh...my average was just shy of 170 and my top game was I think 213. Now I mostly go bowling on dates. On a date up in Scranton (the bowling capital of the known Universe) this past winter..I bowled 5 games..which is alot for me...

O.K. time to find some bowling stoke to post!!!!!

I bowled as a teenager in leagues and tournys from the age of 13 to 19. But since I was about 21 I have only bowled a couple of times a year. Too many other hobbies and at that age bowling wasn't exactly cool. For the first 3 years of high school none of my friends knew where i was on sat & sun mornings when i was at the bowling alley. It wasn't until senior year that my mother slipped up when a friend called one sat morning and she told him I was bowling in my league :-o. He kept it to himself but gave me a hard time in private over it. There were a couple of other guys i went to school with that bowled in the same leagues. We all promised to keep it hush hush. Kind of silly when i think back. for the last 3 years I bowled my average ussually howered anywhere from 200 to 215. All the parents were PO'd that i was in the same league as there kids. I bowled in one adult non money league with my father and most of the men didn't like getting there butt kicked by a kid including my dad. But he got over it pretty quick. Now when I bowl once or twice a years I am ussually in the 190's. The guy that ran the pro shop took and intrest in me (kind of creepy) and was always giving me free gear. I still have about 10 or 12 bowling balls at my parents place and one or two at my house. Someday I may get back into it. It would be cool to bowl with my dad in a league again.

I know many guys that have that same story----I din't start until I was 36 and even then it was on a bet. A lot of the guys I golf with bowl in the winter time around here and I would always rib them on how bowling was for people who couldn't ski. So, one drunkin evening they talked me into subing for them---I of course really stunk up the joint then realized that it wasn't easy and it actually is a blast. This is my 8th year bowling on tues nites and have no plans of giving it up.

Dude, you took Bowling at UVM to??? I took it as well and tested out of swimming for the other two credits, which I almost died during.

Did you have the woman bowling teacher who though she gave easy grades was a bit of a nazi at the same time? She would get pissed at me because I refused to throw a hook. I just got up there and let it rip as hard as I could :lol:

That was a fun class. Safety meeting in the car on the way to 'class' at the lanes in Colchester. Our team won the 'Pin' as best team for the season.
