My Nickel’s Worth by Randy Ooney
Bling Bling
Take the “OW” out of BOWLING and you have BLING. I wonder what is Paris Hilton’s average. To be sure, she must use a 12 lb crystal sapphire bowling ball drilled at On Track, Beverly hills, and customized with super soft grips so as not to break a nail.
So, I began to think of other words that can be formed from the letters in “Bowling”.
OW - this word is used when you show up for your Monday morning traveling league and throw your first shadow ball, after bowling all day Sunday in an MSC Tournament BOWL - not only our favorite recreational activity, but something from which you can eat soup, cereal, or nuts. LOB - my normal delivery of a bowling ball. It will be yours also when you get to be my age. WIN - the goal of all bowlers. NOW - when to reach that goal. BOW - something to do after a 300 game. BOIL - something to do after a 150 game. BLOW - miss a spare. GLOW - Saturday night bowling GIN - beverage of choice for many bowlers GLOB - what comes back on your ball when the belt in the back gets a little too warm. BLOG - an internet thing to do between bowling seasons. OIL - lane dressing at $145.00 per barrel. LONG - oil pattern at the USBC Tournament. WING - the part of the turkey that’s always left after Thanksgiving. NOB - a hill in San Francisco WINO - There’s one in every league. BONG - obob who reads this column faithfully BING - a cherry or a Crosby GLIB - enough said.
