Sounds like a total blast. A couple of weeks ago we had a bowling birthday party for one of my friends. I hadn't bowled in 40 years. It was hysterical. And you're so right about the food!

Burberry and deep fried crap and Value Village? THAT is a party! Wish. I. Was. There.
Smooch!

LOVE bowling!!!

Yes it was totally fun, and I do plan to post pics when I get them from friend's camera.

And did I mention was five-pin bowling? Which I think we have only in Canada. Pins are smaller, balls are smaller with no holes, silliness factor is increased.

Many comments from the crowd about being used to larger balls (yeah, sure). After my game tapered off (ie got worse) I made some comment about peaking early, which of course my fiance went to town with. So maybe not quite so G-rated after all?

Glad you had a great time. Bowling simply scares me. First there is the renting of the shoes. That alone scares me away. Then there is my fear of getting my fingers stuck in the ball and I can't let go. Although that may have been a nightmare, (after awhile it all blends. Then, and I hate to admit it I can never get the timing correct. Right foot three steps swing let go? I get to the end of my stride 'if that is what it is called' and it never feels right so I end up going over the line. And I hate those overhead projectors so everybody can see your score. I was the kid at the party who got a prize for having the worst score. I don't remember if it was your party or Robert P. Obviously I never got over the trauma.

You had me at "fried food & beer."

It's just wrong that you can get away with wearing an Hawiian shirt and pirates outfit without posting any pics!

What a great idea!!

When my cousin and her wife got married, they did it on the sly and no one got to throw them a party.

We're going to rectify that situation here directly, though.

After being a semi-professional bowler almost a lifetime ago I had almost forgotten how much fun it is when you're only with family and friends. I'm glad you had a great time.

Um, dinosaur noses? And you can't cheat when it's up on the screen. Ha!

Definitely sounds like my kind of bachelor party! I find that as a single woman, my tastes are definitely changing the older I get, and if anyone is ever awesome enough to change my single status, low-key will be the thing in the celebrations.

Great post.
