Hi! It’s my fifty second post, now I’m a “Silly Adventurer” (before I guess I was a very serious one). To celebrate the occasion I’m founding in the "Unofficial" Unofficial King’s Quest IX bowling team!  Having never founded a bowling team before (I may not ever remember how to play) I’ll need everybody’s help and support!

First off I’ll need to know who wants to join up and what their bowling shoe sizes are?

I'll join. ( I haven't bowled in about 7 years, so my skills should be invaluable  ;))

I can bowl okay, my shoe size is a ten, though my travel money is a bit sparse. ;) Any plans for a bowling alley built on a plane? ;)

I'm not that great a bowler, but I do usually get around a 120 consistently if it's ten-pin. (I'm really rusty now at candlepin, though.) I own my own shoes and ten-pin bowling ball... unfortunately I'm also a tad short on travel money, unless it's on the East Coast somewhere. Then I can bug Harrison to drive, and he would want to come too, anyway. ;)

Peace & Luv, Liz

I have a shoe size of 11 ;D, my average score is 130 ;), and plane tickets are $3000 i think ::)

How does your bowling shoe size compare to your normal shoe size?

It'll likely be either the same, or a half-size bigger or smaller, depending on the shoe style. I think mine are a 9, and I'm a 9 1/2 normal shoe.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Doesn’t seem to be a difference, but perhaps folks have had some specific experiences. As I need a ½ size, I usually have to go down to 11 or up to 12…

More info can be found at: http://www.bowling.com/?source=gog-shoes

I'm a 12 and I think they're more or less the same as your shoe size.  I'm not that great of a bowler, my score usually gets worse and worse with each consecutive game.  XD  All my friends are amazing bowlers too!  >:(  ;)

I might have solved the travel problem! Check this out, it’s online multiplayer bowling!

They have a good pool game at candystand.

Egads, I can barely bowl 100 in online bowling! ;P

Darn shaky hand on the mouse. ;)

Wouldn't know my bowling shoe size, and definitely not in your sizes.
Once I get into the game, I can bowl fairly good. Can't tell you what my highest score has been though, I don't have the score-ticket. :-\

EDIT: This online bowling thing is rubbish. I can play far better IRL.

lol, I never bowled in my life :P

I suck iRL, I live too far away, I'm about a size 5 by my shoe standards, which is different to yours, and I insist on having dumb names instead of real names.

I'LL JOIN :D

Neither have I :P
We could be the cheerleaders  ;-D

HAHAHAHA <3 I would prefer "audience" you know... we cheer from a crowd! :P cuz I've never been cheerleder either :P hahahaha :D

You could so be a cheerleader if you tried.  ;B  <3

Yay!  :lovegoggles:

I never heard of cheerleaders for a bowling team, but I'm all for it!  ;-D

LOL wtf, what does that means? :P

It means exactly what it says. I repeat= You could so be a cheer leader if you wanted to be.

of course not, Im clumsy, dorky, nerdy, and not quite the kind of girl that would be a cheerleader anyways lol :P

Awww, come on. Whats with all this self doubt ???

self doubt!?! OMG FACT you mean :P

for those who have no idea what Im talking about please go check out "woot" thread, in this offtopic part, thank you :P

(Shameless plug for my thread, but I'm not complaining)  ;B

Ok, lets look at the current composition of the team =
-etgadsby,Size 11 1/2
-Pindarus, won’t say…
-oldbushie,Size 10
-Jeysie, Size 9
-racx_00, Size 11
-Yonkey , Size 12
-copycat, doesn’t know…
-MangoMercury, Size 5

And The Bowling Groupies:
-Storm
-Say      

Ok, now that we’ve ruled out dorky online bowling, I guess we need to find any ally someplace in like Missouri (maybe the most equally out of the way for all) and find somebody to bowl against!  Ideas?

We could bowl with 10 copies of MOE as pins and report our scores online... ;)

Surely no one will cheat... ;)

LMAO A GROUPIE! YAY! hahahaha :D

Bowling's fun :D  I went last night, and I went by the names "Teh Mango" and "Just Ham" :D  I lost both times :D

My normal shoe size and bowling shoe size are the same XB

No, no, no. Say and Storm are not being cheerleaders or groupies, we are teaching them how to bowl! So nyah! ;D

And we don't necessarily have to bowl against anyone... I'm sure that there are enough potential bowlers that we could set up a few groups of four to have some friendly in-group competition.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I guess I am around an eight.

How do you convert Mainland-European shoe-sizes to American ones?

Missouri...
/me checks atlas
64D3 ;D
Nope, too far away.

I was wondering that too, cus in UK sizes you all have HUGE feet hehe. I'm a size 7 btw  ;D

Hee! Well, I'm not exactly that great myself, so any team I'm on isn't likely to win anyway. :suffer: Besides, the point is to have fun... and teaching people to bowl is very fun. :)

Peace & Luv, Liz

thank you! I always NOT wanted to learn to bowl lol

Now with all this support (and travel money concerns) we need to determine what kind of bowling we’ll be doing. It seems we’ve got options:
-Standard (Olympic)
-Candlepin
-Duckpin
-Canadian
-No bowling (for Say) and I guess hanging out at the snack bar and in the arcade…
-And my favorite Cosmic Glow In the Dark Bowling

Let me know if a I missed any and what folks think…

No bowling, and hanging around the snack bar and arcade area ;-D

I'll let Racx and Say hang around the arcade and snack bar, then... neither activity suits my personal tastes. ;)

As for me... hmm. Standard would be ten-pin, right? I put my vote in for that, although I could stumble through candlepin if people would rather that. And Cosmic bowling... well, if it's anything like what it is around here, that would be fun. They turn off the main lights and put on black lights and disco balls, and everything glows, and they play disco and 70's music and stuff. Granted, it's a tad hard to actually bowl XD but it's still a lot of fun.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I'm not good in bowling... nor in cheerleading  ;] ...hahaha, but I could cheer ; ) ...so I guess I can be a groupie or something or just carry (some) of your equipment be a driver or.... naww... think I just go to the bar, don't like to snack though

omg yay I wont be alone :P

indeed you have Racx to keep your company ....cuz I'm in the health bar ; ) ...but feel free to join me

I know I read :P why dont you join us ? :D

...hmm, mostly because junk food is bad for me (I eat it 3 days in the week already ; ) ...but let me finish my sandwich and I'll join up

GLOW IN THE DARK :O :D

I wouldn't be so sure, because I'd be in the same team as yours and like I said, I'm not that bad ;P
BTW, the only variety I know is normal 10-pin.

Standard with *bumpers* (no alley for me ;)) and a glow in the dark ball! :D

Yay i have Say's and B'rrr's company ;D

I will only join if we can bowl candlepin. Which IS real bowling, too!!!

Gorw up in New England - you'll see!! It's real!! It's better! Haha!

I've done candlepin too, it's a bit harder than the other kind though. ;)

I used to be decent at candlepin... well, used to have an 80 average, anyway. My mom was in candlepin leagues for many years, so I spent many a Thursday afternoon at one or the other of the local candlepin lanes. And I even joined a league myself for a couple years when I got old enough. But then Harrison got me playing tenpin and now I'm terribly out of practice. Can't even get, like, over 50 anymore! :P

Peace & Luv, Liz

btw talking about outdoors activities and stuff, you know, what I actually do in real life (or used to) was to go out and just drive for hours then stop somewhere like a park or a coffee place and read... lol omg yes my life is so exciting! :P and yeah alone, I'm very much of a loner in real life.

I also LOVE to go in libraries :P omg I used to spend whole days sometimes inside looking all kind of books and stuff, other places I adore are BOOK stores, OMG there is one near  in a mall near my house that I can just GO and stay there ALL DAY, well I used to when I knew the staff working there I would probably go now and get my ass kicked out :D hahah, but truth is they had this kiddie area I used to love to hang out, cuz I could pick ANY book I wanted and lay on the floor to check it out I even remember once I stayed up and some little girls came up and wanted me to play with them lol, it was sooo cute and hey, I still got my barbie skills :P, it was adorable lol.

So yeah, Im so boring :P I even like to walk too, I tend to do that a lot, I park my car and walk malls and stuff :)

Hee. That's not so boring, Say. I spent many an hour loafing in the library and walking everywhere as a kid. Unfortunately the library in my current city is rather far away, and everything's too far away to walk, so I can't do either much anymore. :(

Peace & Luv, Liz

Well actually it is boring.... Say is boring, Jeysie is boring I'm boring ; (

...hahaha, at least to some people. People I disagree with though ; ) cuz they don't understand the beauty of nature nor the value of a good book ; /

Reading is fun !!!, whoops better not say that otherwise cc might put me back in the asylum ;B

You think I disprove reading? I had to do a lot of reading to get into this position as Manager, most of the time to learn, but reading nonetheless.
Even IRL when I was young I used to read a lot, almost all the books designed for my age at the local library (which was not too large mind you). Now most of the time I read magazines I'm subscribed to.
As Manager of the Asylum, I also have to keep up with new developments, so I also have to do a lot of reading. And, ofcourse, I also have to read the reports of my psychiatrists, to see the improvement they're making with their patients. So, if I didn't like reading, I surely wouldn't have chosen to be a Manager, that's for sure. 8)

Yes you approve ;D, i am so happy ;B, can i play computer games as well ???

wtf you werent supposed to agree on that part hahaha, and even so we are not boring! that is my idea of fun, whoever who wont like it... well... fine I'll go alone :P

well then in that case you could join me :P lol *winks* ;)

Libraries are great.  When I was in school, I used to spend pretty much every day in the library with my friends, reading Science magazones.

Now I'm an ARTIST :D

hahaha, I just love books and I regret it that I don't have much time to read at the moment <sigh> ...nor have I any time to just walk and enjoy nature ; (

did you say yes to me or you just said no?

Yes!! ...definate YES ; ) hahaha.... but I rather go outdoors then to the library ; )

<3 omg i r a happeh girl

Quote from: MangoMercury on March 17, 2004, 11:01:46 AMWhen I was in school, I used to spend pretty much every day in the library with my friends, reading Science magazones.

Now I read science (& technology) magazines, not too theoretic though, one every month.

B'rrr and Say i have an announcement ;D, you have both been transfered to cell Z1 of the asylum for not getting a room when suggested by almost every1 ;P

we do have a room!

its called Brr and Say's excellent adventures :P lol <3

ahhh.... and a nice room it is *winks* ...xcept of course that there are tree-eaters in it and popcorn lovers ; )

Yes but in cell Z1 no one can disturb you ;B
