Circa 2005 I think, went on for months. Lot of characters rolled through town for that.

After they opened up the top division to PBA members, he and many others bowl it every year. Afrofish will for sure be in town for the tournament.

My sister does.


That's when she had to take her PE exams. Throughout the entire exaam, all they could hear was rolling bowling balls and pin strikes.


Imagine taking an exam to be certified in your profession, and an exam that requires a ton of math and physics, while constantly having to listen to that sound.
