GUTTERBUG
Bowling has always been fascinating. It was something that Archie and gang often did, where Reggie always managed a strike while Dilton calculated the angle of strike. The one who lost treated the gang to sundaes at Pop Tate's.
Unexpectedly, Ahmedabad has a Bowling Alley, plonk in the middle of FR, where most of the Gujjus who hang out make sure they're really dressed up for a day out. This particular alley has weird rules- they let only two people play each game. Highly illogical, considering that there's no way to continue playing limitlessly.
After weighing the bowling balls (pardon the language), deciding which were the lightest (uh-oh..), we began the game to the tune of "Dil Le Gayi Kudi Gujarat ki..." to realise that that particular alley had a strong slope towards the left. This would obviously mean that we ought to throw more to the right.. but throw left or right, it would end up as a gutter ball. With each gutterball, the screen would pop a funny cartoon of bowling pins which effectively dodge the ball. They would jump off tables, run around corners or just skip and the ball would miss em. Argh, you could almost hear them go "Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!"
With two of us aiming for the left gutter and two for the right, we had a total of 23 gutters within 3 games. Even though I suck at the game, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Apparently, I aim to miss the pins. Wish that had been the objective, I could have played pro. Would also have then bought me a nice pair of bowling shoes. Hmm..
Maybe I should play a fixed cricket match.. isn't that where one aims to miss?
