I took the two younger boys (teens) to sister's house for Halloween and to celebrate one of my niece's birthday. The boys dressed up and went trick or treating in my sis' neighborhood. Later we went to the bowling alley at the Air Force Base for her birthday party. We had two lanes...one with bumpers and one without. The boys and their uncle were on the lane (#15) without bumpers. The next lane worked fine...theirs appeared to be *haunted*...we had the dimmed lights and cosmic bowl going on.
One of the guys would throw a ball...knock down 7 pins...STRIKE! it would say on the overhead scorekeeper! :w00t: ...but the sweeper would set the 3 pins back up...they had to bowl again with a second ball to get it to clear...knock down any more pins...no additional score. Next person...throws...8 pins down with a split...STRIKE! the scorekeeper would tally! Next person would throw...miss ALL the pins...3 pins down says the scorekeeper!
Meanwhile the girls were bowling with bumpers...the balls refused to bounce off the bumpers and if hit, the balls would just follow along the bumpers and then knock down balls. Scorekeeper was accurate on every throw on the girl lane.
We were rolling on the floor with each ball the guys threw! It was hilarious! They sometimes were getting 3 strikes in a row...would try to miss...and would still get points for knocking down at least 3 pins!
One time a ball went into the gutter...popped out of the gutter near the end and knocked down a bunch of pins...SPARE! I tell you our sides were splitting from all the laughing.
So........do we have a haunted bowling kit? LOL Suggestions on ways to scrap this? I have ONE picture I made sure to take where the "scorekeeper" displayed a strike and you could see pins still standing in the alley. :blink:
