For probably about 6 weeks now, on Tuesday nights I have been going bowling with about 8-10 friends. Its only a buck for shoes and a buck a game..
Anyways.. Every week, in at least one of the games I get the opportunity to get that elusive turkey. 3 Strikes in a row. And every time I get 2 in a row, what would be the third strike comes up with only 9 pins and the 10th wobbles more than a building in downtown San Francisco during a magnitude 8 earthquake, but does not fall down.
So, I am on my 4th game, 2nd frame is a strike, 3rd frame is a strike, everybody starts laughing because they know what is coming. I go up to bowl and everyone is being quiet, as good friends should be, and I hit again 9 pins and the tenth wobbles ungodly amounts.. It finally rights itself to be standing perfectly still and everyone busts out laughing and I begin swearing and throwing things. All of a sudden, it just falls over and I get the strike. Weirdest thing any of us had ever seen.
I ended up bowling a 174 that game. 2nd highest game ever.
