I’ve heard of ten pin and candlepin bowling but never heard of duckpin. Who bowls duckpin? Is it mainly in the south?
Definitely given the street / area of town.
I always thought poets were failed writers who could not think in complete sentences but that was funny.
Let me guess!
I will tell her that you liked it. She has been agitating me to get the Pansies for Plato blog back up and running. She had poems in that. You should see the unknown and lost Maya Angelou poem that surfaced. . . WHEW!
They lost me at SW Atlanta. That’s like saying somebody got schived last night at the penitentiary.
Fun & games at the local Amish amusement park?
Geesh Self! That was seven years ago! Where did all the time fly???
Same here in Shreveport. I think the city is nearly 60% black now, so we will be toast in a few more decades. A good number of blacks here are of the more conservative persuasion, so I think it will be a few years longer in coming. My BFF sold her house to me, and she moved into a trailer, so she can leave town when the Zombie Apocalypse comes, taking her shoes, guitars and cat with her. Like she says, why take a bug-out bag, when you can take a bug-out 16x80 mobile home??? Her paranoid father, Bomber Fromm, has a family farm set up over across the border in Texas, with plenty of supplies and ammo. I may end up there too one day.
That’s no bowling ball, THAT’S MY WIFE!!
Two forms of duckpin.
One, the official, is ‘duckpin bowling, described in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling
The unofficial is version is played at Amish Amusement Centers. It starts out as a normal game of 10 pin, until the designated ‘Rager’ randomly becomes enraged, grabs, and starts swinging a pin: at that point, the other players begin yelling. ‘DUCKPIN!”, until the police arrive.
Hey, that’s pretty darn good.
Gee, I guess since they closed the Chuck E Cheese shooting ranges the thugs moved to bowling alleys.
looks like a re-purposed former K-Mart building ..
“Why is at always amish? Can’t we give equal mention to the eskimos? And what about the nun population?”
The Mennonites need equal mention.
As do the Quakers, Seventh Day Adventists (7DA), Primitive Baptists....hell, even the Presbyterians and Methodists could use a mention.
Maybe give the Amish some rest?
I will pass that on to her! I am sure she will appreciate it!
LOL
Them “Amish” are never happy.
No, it’s not a Southern thing. I can remember my father and friends bowling duck pins in Connecticut, growing up in the 60’s. It’s very difficult. The balls are about the size of a shot put. And you throw them very fast to try and knock over as many pins as possible. I remember watching
The balls flying halfway down the alley in the air ten inches off the floor before touching down to go on and hitting the pins.
