This is Shatner ..Go..
Yes, Mr. Poker (poke her dude)..and I ventured past the unionized red neon structure of the Forama Hotel to bowl a few games this past Saturday afternoon. We came out pretty evenly matched for a couple of fumbling novices.
First Game:
DH: 112
CP: 106
Second Game:
DH: 114
CP: 110
There would have been a third game, but it wasn't meant to be. Ultimately we flipped a coin. Heads we bowl again, tails we leave.
Well..it was tails and that was that. But we did leave with some helpful etiquette on bowling. Apparently you have to wait for the guy next to you to finish his motion before you can start. We were instructed firmly by the gentleman next to us after a violation or two. He was not someone you would want to argue with in a dark alley, much less one where you lug around graphite round rocks. In fact, with the exception of the mustache, he bore an uncanny resemblance to Apollo creed in Rocky II.
Speaking of Meant to Be, The seventh race had a horse with that very name, reappear at Hollywood Park on Friday night. This horse had shocked the chain smoking pattern watchers of the track two weeks before, winning in the fifth race as the five horse. (the #5 horse had won race 1, 2, 3, and 4 that day). Well, needless to say "Meant to Be" was not on Friday night and didn't even finish the race. As he approached the back stretch he took a right to the stables and that was that.
Top three things heard over the intercom at the Bowling alley:

- "One bowling ball at a time please. Parents, please don't let the kids roll more than one ball down the alley at a time. Thank you."
- Pleasant Valley Sunday by the Monkeys
