I bowled a Turkey!!
Monday Apr 21, 2008
As a Diva, the last thing in the world I want to do is participate in a bowling event. Why?
Two big reasons:
1) I don't want to wear bowling shoes. I only wear heels.
2) I don't drink beer or eat fried food.
But...
I love my sister and her birthday party was at Bowlmor Lanes in New York City, so I took a deep breath, put on some heavy duty sweat socks, and slipped my feet into a pair of rented bowling shoes.
Now I'm all set!!
The perfect bowling score is 300. I bowled a 44
I told my husband that to avoid further embarrassment, I was going home if I threw one more "gutter" ball. So he told me to move over to the right since all my balls were curving to the left. Lo and behold, look what happened!!!
I bowled a TURKEY!! And my next game score was bumped up to 115!
In case you haven't heard of the term "Turkey" as it relates to bowling, I Googled it:
A TURKEY is bowling lingo for three strikes in a row. Probably, the most famous score for amateur and professional bowlers alike. The term dates back to before the turn of the 20th century. In those years, scoring was much more difficult and to get three strikes in a row was quite an achievement. During Thanksgiving or Christmas week, the proprietor would present a live turkey to the first person on each team who scored three consecutive strikes. The term has carried over ever since.
I was the only one to accomplish this feat the entire night.
What else would you expect from a DIVA???
