Back into the gutter at TAM8

[Hutch]

Well, I decided last year's event went well enough, so I've chartered 16 lanes and we'll try TAM Bowling II.

It'll be the same time (Thursday, 9-11PM) at the South Point bowling lanes, and the cost will remain the same, $10.00 for 2 hours bowling and a voluntary (which means I won't twist your arm...much) $10.00 donation to the JREF.

No more than 4 per lane, so 64 people are needed for yours truly to break even, and I will be recruiting from non-Forumites to fill out the roster, so let me know by PM or on this thread if you are interested.

I also note that Drinking Skeptically is also starting at 9PM. For those conflicted I would note (1) Drinking and bowling are often paired together (2) You don't have to stay for the entire 2 hours and (3) I rather think the drinking will last past 11PM.

Besides, we're raising money for the JREF and having some fun (and drinking).

But please, Marquis, in the sacred names of Earl Anthony and Dick Weber, please don't try it--the memory of your bowling last year is not pleasant for me to contemplate.....

Oh, last year was so much fun - once I know I can attend TAM, I'll sign up for bowling!! yay

 

[Chris H]

I reckon that sounds cool! As long as it doesn't interfere with whatever the Penn & Teller event that is apparently happening on Thursday is, I'll be there!

Oh, me too! (If I get there... but I'm inching towards certainty, so sign me up!)

 

[Dicon]

The Pin Worms will roll again.

 

[katetbetrue]

I'm definitely down for this. Sign me up. I'm a non-Forumite (at least up until very recently) and this is my 1st TAM.

Do you need any help with running the tournament? Hokulele (Yes, you are!) and I are happy to help.

Bowling was fun last year. And although I won't be there this year, I wish everyone the very best of...






WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? I CAN'T BE THERE!! WAAAAAHHHH!!

My favorite part of bowling is handling the balls.

Will there be bumpers ?

Bowling from my whee chair sounds iffy at best...

Well, if you shout "Whee!" each time you bowl, I'm sure we could overlook any other problems. [/InsensitiveBastard]

Almost any sport can be played from a wheelchair. American Wheelchair Bowling Association.

We strap you into your chair with the ball on your lap and take turns accellerating you down the boards and jerking you to a stop while you hang on for dear life. The ball flies out of your lap and hopefully goes in the direction of the pins. Think of it as extreme therapy.

And yes, I'm in for bowling *cough* and defending my title *cough*.

I'm sure we can find a larger chair for you to bowl from.


I had a lot of fun last year, but I think I overdid it by playing the full two hours.

That's a fair point, would it be better to shorten it to 90 minutes? Still a bargain at $10.

But then, you could try less bowling and more drinking during the 2-hour period.....

Hey! Mom has volunteered to fill in for rusty as a gutterslut!

Yes, count me in and I would be more than happy to help with registration/score-keeping/whatever again.

And if metallus plays this year, I promise not to mess with his mojo...

What about Mojo's mojo?

What about Mojo's mojo?

If I were to nominate anyone to mess with Mojo's mojo, it would be paperskater with her 14 LB BALLS.
