It takes a lot of balls to come to a professional bowling match and root for the pins.

Might have been the best thing I've read all day. Can't stop thinking about and those thoughts are followed by awkward workplace laughs. I just wanted to thank you personally, good sir.

I'm a gutter fan. I like to root for the underdog.

My kids and I were flipping through channels one rainy afternoon last summer and ran across a bowling tournament. We sat there, sort of mesmerized...because the people were just so DORKY. The ones who wore glasses, were wearing those BIG, plastic-framed glasses. The men either had frizzy, curly hair or mullets and some of them were wearing skinny ties. The women also sported either frizzy curls or mullets. The ones in dresses had SHOULDER PADS. The ones in jeans, were cuffed tightly above their socks.

Holy crap. I sat there staring at this spectacle for nearly 15 minutes wondering if people who bowl professionally were the dorkiest people in the universe. I could not tear my eyes away from this freak show.

Then my son hit the "information" button on the remote and the original air date popped up. 1986. Whew. Wow. I think I may have started sweating there for a minute.

Why the fuck are they rerunning >20 year old bowling tournaments?

This applies to most old games and gameshows being rerun.

[–]ptsaq 8 points9 points ago

Cause people watch them to laugh. Kind of like watching a really bad movie. Also the Midwest.

No, he's a sex offender. With a record. He served 6 months in Chino for exposing himself to an eight year old.

I didn't even notice the sign at first. All I saw was Eric Wareheim-esque guy in the bottom left.

Someone once held up a sign just like that for me when I was in a spelling bee.

I totally won, by the way.

I wonder why clicking in "Comments" in Imgur lends me to a month old thread. Surely this isn't a blatant repost?

Not looking at the title first, I read the sign as D-Gate and did not understand the joke.

Should have made a sign with bowling pins on it instead of a fence:

D-pins
