Lane Vacuum
Bowling Can Be Fun If Done Correctly
My best friend from school went on to do extremely well for himself. He has a fantastic home out in the country, and he has me over from time to time. In school we always were very competitive, and loved trying to beat each other at games. He loved games so much, that he actually turned his whole basement into one big game room. He had everything, darts, pool, foosball, air hockey, ping pong, a chess table, a four lane bowling alley, and lots of others. It was a great place to hang out.
When I was in school, my dad was in construction, so that was the way I went as well. I was not as well off as my friend, but I was happy with where I was. The reason for this get together, was to compete in our own private bowling tournament. It was two out of three games, winner getting twenty bucks and the honorary title of champion at that particular alley.
He powered up the lanes and we chose our balls, and even put on the typical bowling shoes. It was just like going to an actual bowling alley. About the third frame, I rolled the ball at the pins, and noticed it took just a very slight jump to one side. It was hardly noticeable, but yet I saw it. I knew what the deal was. I excused myself, and went to my car.
In a few moments, I was back with a dyson vacuum dc17 that I was to deliver to my mother from my sister. I plugged the thing in and went to town on the lanes, all the while cracking my friend up with snooty remarks about his housekeeping. He had tears in his eyes by the time I was through. I laughed pretty hard at myself.
Another few frames later, I was beginning to fall farther behind. Then I remembered that I was trying to do this without the one thing all competitors must have, my good luck charm. Again I was strolling to my car, and when I got back, I had on my black helmet that I wore when I rode my motorcycle. Since buying this helmet, I had won five races in a row. He still was not impressed, but had a good laugh.
Some more frames were unforgiving, as I saw myself being smeared beyond recovery. It was then that I noticed my shoes were really slippery. Out to the car I went. I came back in, sporting my new brown boots that I had bought to deer hunt in. My friend thought I looked ridiculous and had to get a picture before we resumed.
From that frame on things began to turn around. By the end of the tournament, I shook his hand, took my twenty, and headed out to my car with a big smile. I had learned that bowling can really be fun, if you have the freedom to put all you have into it, literally.
