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.

Yes, I noticed that, too. I guess they thought it was one more reason for Woodward and Bernstein to go after him.

290. A 7-pin tap and struck out. Followed that with 257 and 259 for my highest 3 games ever —806. Several 279s. Still going for the elusive 300. I’ve taken a perfect game into the 10th 6 times.

Fifth photo down is clearly a foul. Foul line starts at the beginning of the gutter.

LOLOL, here, too. Haven't bowled in almost 35 years, and I only did it for a semester phys ed credit in college - 'Bowling and Archery'. My best game was a 125. I decided there and then that professional bowling was not my life's calling. I mean, I
suck. I even roll gutter balls in bowling video games, in the the bottomless depths of my suckage.

I remember during the 2008 campaign Obama went bowling. Bowled three games and didn’t break 100 once.

Looks like the agent in the doorway leans in, scopes the gutter ball, and then steps back once more.

Isn’t that when he made fun of the Special Olympics Handicapped Kids?
There was a firestorm in the Media as I remember with Obama making fun of those unfortunate Children.
No, I have that confused with Trump waving his Arms during a Speech. Sorry.
