Photo Adventure No.05: Bowlerama

Ahh the smell of oiled lanes and old shoes. There's a certain romance I have for bowling. As a youth it was something to do in the winter when I couldn't skateboard and didn't want to hang out at the mall. One of my favourite movies has bowling at it's core. The Big Lebowski is a classic Coen brothers reworking of The Big Sleep, starring Jeff Bridges as The Dude. There's a scene where Walter (John Goodman's Character) pulls a gun on a fellow league member for stepping over the lane line. He threatens Smokey to "mark it zero or enter a world of hurt". In a real life ironic twist someone was shot at the Bowlerama near where I lived. Maybe bowling is more hardcore than I thought. Bowling PIX
