quotations about bowling
I have always hated bowling, and I don't mind admitting it. I can't even tolerate naked bowling, because of my tragic encounters with the "sport" and everything it stands for. The sound of a heavy black ball crashing down on anything made of wood makes me sick.

Bowling is the ideal sport. It's basically an hour of drinking beer occasionally interrupted by six seconds of exercise.

I love hitting the pocket. There is a great sense of satisfaction when I see the ball roll into the pocket. It lets me know that I'm consistently hitting my spot, that I've adjusted to the lane conditions and that I'm on. Oh, and the cracking of pins is a joyous sound!

A bowling lane oiled for amateurs is like a slow country road. The bowler can maneuver his ball with ease over the lane's evenly oiled, slightly worn surface. But a bowling lane oiled for professionals is like the Autobahn covered with thin ice.
