I've had a lot of fun in bowling leagues, but never been in a competitive league. Just over 30 years ago I was in a high school large enough to have our own league, our team was "The burn outs". We got stoned on the walk to the alleys every week. One week we got a hold of some opium and ended up playing the teachers team. We lived up to our name. About 5 years later my friend's business sponsored a couple of teams in a league, and the tradition continued, with a couple of advantages. Our small league held the last eight lanes, right across from the bar. You could sit at a barstool and talk to all the divorcees and never miss a turn, plus get drunk. Had my best game under these conditions, as a matter of fact.
