Bowled on and off when I was younger in high school. I was average at best on most occasions unless I was bowling against one particular friend of mine whom we were particularly competitive with one another.
Still. Occasionally I had my moments.
Fast forward about 12 years. Im married with my wife and hanging out with my childhood best friend and his. We start taking up bowling maybe once a week. One night Im in "The zone" and having a pretty decent night. Well one game I start rolling strike after strike after strike. 7th frame and we were all thinking the same thing at that point. But my best friend HAD to say it.
You know what he said. Its the kiss of death to any remarkable streak.
"Yanno Tom. You are only a couple of frames away from a perfect game"
So I line up. Approach the line in perfect form, Wind up and rolllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
llllllllllllll the ball.
We all know what happened next right.
WHAA Whaa whaaa
