“I’m throwing rocks tonight!”
Yesterday was the first meeting of the semester for the Columbia University Bowling Club, aka the sickest club there is on campus. We had seven people show up to Harlem lanes and bowl for a little over an hour (two games), while the State of the Union played in the background. Here’s some highlights from the night:
- On the very last roll of the very last frame of the first game, Shai, Yoni, and I managed to just break our combined goal, literally by four pins.
- In the two games combined, I had four strikes. Three were in the second game, in the form of a strike and a double.
- Shai rolled a 178 in the second game, far and away the best score of the night. It included a Turkey. Unbelievable.
- It’s sad that Harlem Lanes doesn’t have the old computer system. The cartoons are odd and when I get a strike, it shows a clip rather than saying “Malcolm X” (I always have my name as Malcolm when bowling).
- However, Harlem Lanes does have the best music selection by far. Also it was 8:30 when we started, yet cosmic bowling was already happening. There’s nothing quite like cosmic bowling.
It looks like it’s gonna be a pretty good year for the CU Bowling Club, after a hiatus last semester. No more bush-league stuff.
