Unintentionally Intentional
A few nights ago, the gaggle of us poor sots spending our working hours trapped in a store filled with heavier-than-thou luggage, recently messed-up (again) winterwear and "oh dear god who thought that shade of regurgitated lima bean green looked good?!" purses, decided to commiserate by going out for a night of bowling. In light of that night,
Today's lesson might as well be: 5-pin bowling is harder than it looks. I could be technical and say that the 5-pin bowling balls are overall lighter, and so they gain more of a side-spin when you launch them. Or I could be honest and saw my piffly arms have no real muscle mass on them, and by the second 10-frame game, my poor biceps had all the power of soggy ravioli.

Word of the Day is: Innuendo! (That, or else "double entendre", deliberate or otherwise.)

Anyhoo, back to the bowling, it was a truly a time of comraderie. Unless you count the first game, where I decisively beat the pants off of everyone else. And unless you also count the second game, where everyone else decisively beat the pants off me in what became known as the "I don't care who wins, someone just beat the pants off Phil!" game, where I got the worst score of the gaggle. Again, refer two paragraphs up to my soggy ravioli-biceps. (Mel won game 2, incidentally.)
You know, in light of the Rainbow TV link and the word of the day, perhaps I should rephrase the whole "beating their pants off" thing. Naaaaah....
And remember: just like Rainbow TV says, it's fun to bang away all night with your friends, just so long as you don't break their plucking instruments.
