I've been trying to keep this a secret until the grand opening but motor-mouth Norma blabbed about it.

  2. I'm always fascinated by images like the second one, in which the facial expression and the activity simply don't match. If you're going to look so bored about it, why bother?

    1. MUSCATO: It’s that look that says, “I don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day."

      Maybe he’s “bowling for dollars.”

  5. Nice to see such cumradery going now in the leisure time. But is it me or are the balls on the smaller side?

    1. MISTRESS MADDIE: Thanks to Cookie, we know they’re candlepin bowling.

      And according to Wikipedia, “the ball used in candlepins has a maximum weight of 1.1 kilograms (2 lb 7 oz), and has a maximum diameter of 11.43 cm (4½ inches), making it the smallest bowling ball of any North American bowling sport.”

    1. NORMA: I wonder how many pinboys had their full set of teeth still in place by the time they moved on to other jobs?

    2. All these years later.....who knew there was a name to my talent. I could have told my late father I was a pin setter. Sigh

    3. maybe "pin setters" should be
      the name of our league?

      oh boy, i can't wait to see the centerpieces
      on the tables at our banquet!

  7. Although it's unclear as to whether he's picking up the pin or putting it down, it's nice to see that the Infomaniac Bowl-A-Way uses manual pinsetters rather than automated ones.

    1. AYEM8Y: Yes, but the manual pinsetters are costing me a fortune in Albolene.

  8. They are candle pin bowling in the top picture, and that boy is trying to get fucked by the duck pin.

    1. COOKIE: Thank you for pointing this out.

      And you are probably aware that Baltimore has the oldest operating “duckpin bowling” alley in the United States…the Patterson Bowling Center.

  9. MJ, your scaring me. You have way to much knowledge on the subject of bowling. Perhaps you should go kick those legs up some more.
