    171, which beat my previous high by like 50 pins. My form's so bad that my shots actually slice, so I aim for the 1-2 pocket as a righty. (I even slice on Wii Bowling -- I don't know what my high score is on there, though.) I enjoy bowling, but I don't get to do it that often.

    215 or 211... right around there. I used to be in a bowling league when I was in middle school. Back then as a kid I had like a 135-140 average. I still use the same little kiddie ball that I used back in the day. My fingers don't even totally fit, but the ball has a good spin.

    252 - and the last ball was between my legs after about 8 beers.

    I got a watch for bowling 100 pins over average in a league.

    I now carry about a 160 average in my tuesday league.

    i took acid once and bowled like a 230, which is the only time i ever got over a 200. 6 of us went bowling and 2 of us had dropped acid (this was over 10 years ago - i dont do that stuff anymore!). the others were making fun of us and how bad we were going to be. we played teams and the lysergic team kicked their asses and i bowled the game of my life.

    i know some people who were eating crow on the way home! :p

    i also saw prince at showplace lanes in austin once - it was after his erwin center gig in 97 - his whole crew came to the bowling alley.

    210 for me, only broke 200 once. Never bowled regularly, just did the free summer games at Emerald Bowl (back when I was in HS), so anyways so I'm happy.

    I guess at my best I was avg 150s. I bowl straight so I get streaky depending on how my form is that day.

    My best was a 245. I threw 7 strikes to open and then I choked. I've only broken 200 7 times.

    I do use all 3 fingers to hook, but it's totally self-taught so I'm sure I do it wrong. I used to do the 2 finger cheater spin.

    Anyway, I haven't really bowled in about 5 years, so who knows how I'd do now.

    I've bowled in the 230's quite a few times. It seems like 238 was my highest (with house ball/shoes), but it's been a really long time since I've bowled. I may have a higher score and don't remember.

    Somewhere in the 120s. Haven't bowled much, and I sucked when I did.
