If you’ve ever seen The Big Lebowski, you’ll recognise this photograph of President Richard Nixon bowling, which infamously loomed over the Dudes tiki bar in the cult Coen brothers film. It is in fact a real photograph of Nixon and as I recently discovered, in 1969 the former President added his own secret one-lane bowling alley in the basement of the the White House just a few years before the Watergate scandal broke– and it’s still there today.

Obama had it turned into a stripper pole place for all his boys from the hood
For me 2016 was The Summer of Bowling. Two local lanes had a special summer pass from May 25 through Sept 5. For $30 you could bowl three games a day. I spent $120 and bought two passes for each of establishments in Upland and Rancho Cucamonga. Most of the days of the summer I bowled 12 games. Yes, it wore be out. Over 1000 games bowled this summer.
Wearing Trump hat, people saw my name in lights on the scoreboard as Jail Hillary, Never Hillary, Lock Her Up, etc. It started discussions and I changed people’s minds.
Thanks.
Here is a great mocking thread of Obama, who bowled a 37 and looked like a pansy ass doing it.

“Over 1000 games bowled this summer.”

Good for you-— great exercise.
I haven’t bowled in YEARS since I was the worst bowler in the game’s history. :-)

I believe Nixon laid the bowling alley over President Kennedy’s swimming pool/women’s shelter that he used for “exercise” away from Jackie. His “guests” could come in from the other direction to the pool without the her knowing.
I wonder where they got the idea that it “secret”? I remember seeing photos of it at the time.
You’re right. It was over Kennedy’s lair; I’d forgotten about that.
I have a sudden urge for a Caucasian.
Of course; Kennedy stole the 1960 election from Nixon with vote fraud in WV, Chicago, and rural TX (LBJ country and cronies.)
Died in 63. Nixon beat Humphrey in 1968 election, won re-election in 1972.
Great. They have a picture of Nixon comiting a foul.
I know; I had a brain fart. Already requested Admin. to remove my stupid post.
LMAO ....
What was your high game?
It looks like not-too-athletic Nixon, had fairly good form.
?? no, the ball return is still in front of him, he’s well behind the foul line. There is a different color wood, but that’s not the foul line.
I used to dive with him and his dad in Laguna Beach, CA - only twice though. LOL - great people
