Re: Bowling terms for roadtrip

For those planning a bowling-based theme for beers or food or whatever for the AHA Conference events in Chicago here are some bowling terms from the book "How To Talk Bowling" by Dawson Taylor. Some how or the other we picked up this book from the library's discard pile. I have to say I haven't heard of some of these. Let's see some good names for our beer/food/etc. I might have to bring the book along on the bus just for humor. Lots of stuff to work with here. How did we get on this bowling theme??? ============== probably a few typos below :-( ======== alley all the way anchorman -- this one is related to the Anchor Brewing team in Milwaukee in 1913 angle apple armswing arrows baby split baby split with company baby the ball backup backup alley balk barmaid beer frame belly the ball bench work bender bicycle big ball big ears big fill big five blind blocked lanes blow blowout board body english bonus bowling shoes break break-of-the-boards brooklyn broom ball bucket call the numbers carry channel charge charts cheese cakes chicken wing choke chop christmas tree cincinnati clean game clohes line come up conversion count cracked thumb cranker creeper crooked arm crow hopper curtain curve cutter darts dead apple dead wood deflection dime store dive D.O.A. dodo ball double double pinochle double wood dovetails dump the ball dutch 200 emblem faith, hope, charity fast field goal fill finger grips fingertip flat ball floater foul detector foul line foundation -- not the books by Issac Asimov foundation, early four-bagger four-step line frame frozen rope -- and you though that was a baseball term or just MN winter fudge full hit full roller garbage hit getting the wood grab grandma's teeth grasshopper graveyards groove gutter gutter ball gutter shot handicap high board high hit holding alley home alley hook hook alley in there jam jersey side kegler -- from the German wood kegeln, "to bowl" kickback kill the ball kindling wood kingpin -- hey, isn't that a bowling movie? kitty lane late 10 leadoff man leave leverage lift light light wood lily line line ball loafing loft the ball logs looper lose count love tap makeable split mark match play messenger miss mister average mixer mother-in-law move in move out one in the dark on the nose open out and in over overturn the ball part of the building perfect game picket fence pie alleys pin bowling pinch the ball pindicator pine pinsetter pit pitch plugged ball pocket point the ball poison ivy poodle powder puff powerhouse puddle pull the rug pumpkin -- not talking about Jeff Cotton's special beer quick eight railroad range finders rat club reading the lanes release reset reverse revolutions ringing 10-burner rotation rug jerker sandbagger scenic route schleifer scratch semi-fingertip semi-roller shadow ball short pin shotgun shot sidewheeling slot slot grip small ball snake-eyes snow plow soft lanes sour apple span spare splasher splice split spot bowling squeeze steal stiff lanes strike strike out strike split string stroke swiss cheese ball take off a mark tap -- this seems real usable for beer team captain telephone poles the fire's out thin hit three-quarters three-step line throwing rocks tickler top the ball tumbler turkey turn umbrella ball under venting washout water in the ball wood working ball wrap around wrist master wrist turn x yank the shot zero in -- Steve Piatz piatz(a)cray.com Cray Inc. 651-605-9049 1340 Mendota Heights Road Mendota Heights, MN 55120
