Those attending Buzzfest!!!!!!!
 

There has been a little debate going around about who has the best bowlers in an MF league. I'm here to say that the Philly group is the best in the country.

There is a very nice bowling alley down the street from the where the hotel is in Harrisburg.

We can go with either a 4 or 5 man team. Dearell you put your foot in your mouth bro at opening day. Also I know that Tookie out of the GLEFL is a very good bowler, so is Tony Johnson. But nowhere is there a better collection of bowlers in 1 league. Myself, Glenn Phoenix, Cliff Gibbs, Ernie Grice will go against anybody attending the Buzzfest.

We will call it the Buzzfest Bowlarama tournament Jama!!!!:rtfl:

We can work out the details of what we can play for. Maybe a donation to the Garage Sell in your leagues name, and/or to that group's league. Heck we can even buy a trophy to pass around each year, but I feel that it will stay in Philly!!!!
Yes I know Tom Johnson (befl) has some 270 plus games!


Bring it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyone that wants in this reply here or email me direct yizcorey@aim.com

F.O.T.H. out

If my physical condition were different I would end your proposal and all debate w/in 2 to 3 games. Come to think of it, I could probably clean your clock from a wheelchair. :nhnh:

Before you go putting yourself (and your potential team mates) out there, don't forget who you use to call for coaching/advice when your game hit a wall. It wasn't all that long ago. Don't make me hit the approach on training wheels. I might hurt your feelings. I wouldn't need a team. Just multiply my score by the team size agreed upon. When was the last time you had your butt kicked by a gimp? For the right amount of jack, it could be very soon! :rtfl:

I was literally on the lanes before I was born. I was born to bowl. But that person is behind me - by force, not by choice. Though I am confident I could coach almost anyone of any skill level to up their game in a very short session.

All fun aside, it is a respectable proposal CorEy. One couldn't ask for a better or a more difficult game to master unless we're playing golf (i shot mid-low 80's before my health went south).

Next time you pass through this way, tote your weapons. I'll take you to a couple of pro level houses (setups and oil patterns). I wanna see who can break 720 w/30 feet of heavy oil spread evenly, gutter to gutter. No feathering. No patterns. THAT'S what separates the wannabes from the pros. Then go from that to a reverse blocked setup and still break 720. 6 games total. 1440 minimum to cash. Line forms to the left. Exit is to your right. thmbsp$

count me in Corey......


...... I have not tossed a ball in a little while, but I can score with the big dawgs!

I like your idea, Mr TweakFreak

Corey...corey...corey
 

We are all flying in that would be nice idea.We have 3 real good bowlers.Tooky ,TonyJ(who has a300) game and myself.Not sure who else from Great Lakes but it would be fun.Nice idea Corey

Bowling
 

I used to date the head of the American Bowling Congress' daughter. That's like royalty in Wisconsin.:D :D :D

I am not near at the level of y'all...I think my highest average was 182.

Great idea CorEy...I'd be up for it...but I think Gutt and I are the only ones coming from MN.

Pratt, I knew that would get the hairs on your neck
 

:rtfl: RAISED!!!!!!!!!ppls$ :rtfl: ppls$ :rtfl: ppls$ :rtfl:

Hey don't forget pal, my back is pretty screwed up. I was carrying a 202 avg before the back went out. I'm only at 178-182 now. But I feel I can rise to the field. Pratt I remember you telling me you were a very good bowler....I didn't believe you when you said you could hoop also, but you held your own that day we all went out to play, and your back was twisted then. To this day, the highlight had to be smokestack's slow motion reverse layup. PRICELESS! :rtfl:

Chuck L, you guys try to bring your bowling ball as a carry on! Let's do this!

Tom, you and Gutt can merge with anyone else left over....you can be the MFCA team!

Pratt even if you don't bowl, you gotta be there to witness. This should be fun. Somebody has to video this.........a youtube moment if I ever knew one.

the Face Of The Hobby promotes Unity, Integrity, Fellowship.....the foundation on which this organization was started.
If we do this..... Everyone wins, there will be no losers.

Get your popcorn ready! ppcrn ppcrn ppcrn

CorEy - You should know me well enough by now that I don't talk smack I can't back. My smack is fact.

You didn't raise any hair on my back on the subject. I was just pushin up on you a little for the fun of it. I can't stroke the rock anymore but I am still very passionate about the game and the art of bowling.

Walking is more than iffy for me w/o a 16 lb rock. So I'm out of the game unless I roll up in training wheels. But I can still teach a dog to break deuce. And I can teach a solid deuce shooter to frequently break 700. $cch$

-Mike Pratt

oh teach me, OB1!

Haven't done it competively lately but
 

I'm somewhere around 190. But with the money on the table, and no beer, it gets ugly.

What? No BEER? Agreed then. It will get ugly. Beer is a good part of the equation for consistently breaking 700.

-Mike Pratt

YO COREY...
 

I WILL BE THERE SO DON'T DO IT TO YOURSELF.

Like I said.......It's On!!!!!
 

We will get the teams together. Find out when is a good time, then like the old Nike commercials......Just do it.

We will see how 4 man teams work out. Set brackets, draw straws for the match ups, then start bowling.

I have thrown 3 700's before with a high of 720 or 30 something. My high game is 279...3 X's. I have won 2 championships where I was the MVB...bowling a 650 & 662 those series. But I have also (just last season) bombed in a title game throwing 30 & 5 pins under my avg as the team I was on lost.

I don't have all those wordings down like Pratt. I'm like Cruise in "Days of Thunder" he didn't know all the lingo, but he could drive the dang car. I can throw the ball. I only have 1 ball. I don't have no fancy elbow pads, or wrist bands, gloves. I have a 5 step approach with the natural lefty hook!

We will have to stop by the place to see when would be the best time for us to do our thing. I'm thinking early Sat, or Sun morning???? Sunday might be better, I'm sure I will be out of the tourney by then! :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl:

Nat'l

What....he can bowl too!!!!!!!!!! Yup.

To make it fair for the out of towners
 

All teams should use house balls and shoes. This way you will not have one team saying if we had our own equipment. The outcome would have been different.

nice suggestion B.

I like that .... it's like playing with "bases straight out the bag!!!":rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl: :rtfl:

The use of house balls only can be a great equalizer. Anyone with game should be down for that. But c'mon man... those house shoes suck! That is, it sucks for YOU, not me. I have no feeling in either of my feet so I could strap on some wooden clogs made by the Dutch and it wouldn't matter. I just wouldn't wish rental shoes on anyone.

IF y'all are serious about trying to do this, make sure you place your calls well in advance. It is Winter league season ya know. No guarantees that you can even secure a lane for open bowling, much less a pair or two. Not sure how populated the local centers are there. I can tell you here, there are 4 houses all w/in 15 minutes of each other and they are always full/booked during Winter season. Even Sunday mornings can be a tough gig to get some lane time in.

Bowling or not and bowling aside, I'll see y'all there. I'll be toting a baseball bat, a brick and a feather. Beat to a pulp, smashed into the ground or tickled to death, pick your poison. ltsplbll

-Mike Pratt

Its on like Donkey Kong
 

Is Corey you fell to forget. Lomax was the sleeper pick. mtmstnks frstplc

Dearell, lomax can't bowl!!!!!
 

It's almost here. Make sure you bring your equipment. Bring your ball as a carry on if you are flying!

I have an extra ball for any lefties.

I'm going to take Pratt's suggestion and call the house this weekend to make sure we can get some lanes that weekend.

The Philly A-team is:

The F.O.T.H.
Glenn Phoenix
Cliff Gibbs
Ernie Grice

We also have a B-team!!!


Nat'l

hey, I thought we was going with "raw" bowling..... but if you want us to bring the "balls from home" .......


anyway, last time I picked up one of them ..... 200+ again..... so beware I may be rusty, but I can still wing it.....
