As some readers already know, I sustained an injury to my left knee on Sunday while Bowling at Bowl -O- Rama. I will tell you right now, I’m doing fine despite the severe pain I’m enduring right now, and having to use crutches. I go for an MRI later this afternoon to find out exactly how extensive the damage is, and will keep all of you updated.
The main issue I want to address however is what is almost religion in Berks County these days, especially in it’s bowling centers, and that’s the gossip. Turns out a rumor is floating around that got started by Brad Bixler opening that asshole he calls a mouth, and has since passed onto the Jay Lanes Barbarians that I am purposely faking my injury to profit off of a potential law suit against Bowl -O- Rama. I’m going to be clear right now. I am not even considering any law suit against Bowl -O- Rama. Lou Ellis and his staff have handled this matter very professionally by filling out an accident report on what happened. I will tell you on that night several bowlers were sticking, especially an incident where another bowler actually went flying halfway across the lane after releasing his ball. The staff did everything in their power to fix the problem, and despite my efforts using ez-slide on top of it, I still stuck, and the rest is history. The only problem with synthetic approaches is that when you get a lot of humidity, you tend to stick. Every bowler knows that and prepares for it, but sometimes these types of things happen.
Sadly like many Berks County Bowlers, they have to gossip, and blow the facts out of proportion to make themselves feel important in their petty lives. For people like Brad Bixler who had sex with a 500lb fat ferry Shawna just proves how shallow his life is. My only advice to Brad Bixler is that if that is the best he can do with women, he might might as well turn gay.
As for the Jay Lanes Barbarians, this is another example of people trying to make themselves feel important. They still have a bug up their ass over the whole exposure of the poker machine scandal, and the fact that their bowling center burnt down at the same time accusing me of blaming Ed for trying to pull an insurance scam (which I never said by the way).
As for Bowl -O- Rama Lou, Charlie, and rest of the staff are doing a great job, and neither the center or its staff are at fault. As we used to say before the era of political correctness, and petty law suits. SHIT HAPPENS! I will recover down the road and move on, and look forward to what lies ahead.

It’s a lot more then just throwing a ball down a lane. I’m sure someone in your class is into golf, or polo.

More likely, they’re into “pole” vaulting and hide the sausage!
Bowling is cool unless you’re an up tight yuppie wannabee.

Bowling is fun– I never realized the secret world of gossip affiliated with the adventure.

What is hide the sausage? I never heard of the game? Could you explain? Is it a Pa Dutch thing? I am not from here and would like to learn about the culture. Get back to me ASAP so I can teach everyone. And please specify what kind of sausage. I have heard of this stuff called ring balogna, and some other thing called tube steak. Is tube steak a sausage? Or someone mentioned something one time about long steak. Is that a sausage? I cannot wait to play, let me know. Thanks Guy.
