I joined a company bowling league last fall. This is not my company's league, mind you, so over and above the fact that I'm a member, this is clearly a league with minimal restrictions on membership. Just the same, these people are serious about their bowling; makes one wonder what I'm doing there.
My first lesson on day one - bowling is done at a "house". And there are apparently vast differences between these houses because one of my teammates told me later on that at "this house" he only needs to bring two [bowling] balls. Yes, only two. This person owns four bowling balls and drags them (literally) every week to our house of bowling. With roughly 70 pounds of equipment, bowling bags can now be purchased with wheels and can also be stacked one upon another.
And if you purchase a new bowling ball, this equipment should be phased in slowly. Sort of a courtship period, if you will. It takes some time to develop a relationship with a new ball so one should proceed cautiously - perhaps using only for practice for the first few weeks.
Let me tell you, there is quite a level of sophistication for a league comprised of teams such as the "Big Johnsons" and "Minds in Da Gutter".

I always love the bowling team names like "talkin' turkey," or "pickup artists" or my personal favorite, "split ends." I enjoy bowling, and not really sure why, but perhaps its the babes bending over as they try to make that split! It's the dorky shirts that I can live without.
You should make a suggestion that they name the team after Harry, the team captain. That way you could be called, "Harry's Balls."
Spare me.
You strike me as a turkey.
