Bowling
Went bowling today, a group of about 20 of us, and some very bizarre things happened. It started when I bowled a gutter ball (about my 10th one :). It bounced back out (I didn’t misthrow it that badly!). Then another guy playing got himself in a split pins situation, so he decided to bowl two balls down the alley. One ball reached the pins first, and the mechanism that sweeps away pins and sets them, came down before the second ball reached the pins and stopped it. So there I was, about to bowl with this ball stuck in the gutter. I stuffed my throw (again), and my ball headed straight for the stuck ball. Quite unintentionally I hit the stuck ball and it richoched. My ball flew off the alley under the ball return conveyor belt, and the stuck ball ended up in the other gutter. And I failed to knock over any pins.
After that the whole system stuffed up and the pins failed to get reset. So we just bowled our balls down the alley, without there being any pins to bowl at. Our “hit” is recorded as a strike. When the next frame rolled around, the pins finally reset themselves. I think we screwed the system somehow :) Then a friend went on to make five legitamate strikes in a row. Crazy stuff.
