Geek?

Has dodgeball been popular all along and I just never noticed it? After all I played it through elementary school and there was a [pretty good] movie about it.

Or is dodgeball gaining popularity because of the movie?

I bowl. I enjoy bowling. I would rather go bowling on a Friday night than out getting trashed and spending lots of money. My fiance "allowed" me to get bowling shoes, but he thinks getting the actual bowling ball is too geeky. It would improve my game. The ball would be fit to my hand, the same weight every time and I wouldn't have to worry about finding a ball in the alley. Especially when there are so many with big gashes or ones I can't fit my fingers in.

Well, I think my fiance should be considered as geeky for playing dodgeball. He has a tournament tonight. I wonder if he'll get prescription goggles for it or if the team will get matching uniforms...

  • Getting the bowling ball would have been better for your game than buying shoes. Although the shoes would have ended up costing more and more money every week and bowling balls are free. But you don't have to go out and get the $300 bowling ball. But for me (or women in general) it's good to have a bowling ball that fits your hand and not some 50 yr old chubby guy that left his ball at a bowling alley 20 yrs ago. Sorry my comment is getting way too long. Long story short--definitely buy a ball.

  • i blame the media. bowling was cool when the big lebowski and kingpin were out, but they've been eclipsed by dodgeball thanks to the movie of the same name. and there's all that stupid poker on tv, which people take as a license to bring their stupid poker sets to parties and expect to be the hit of the party. bastards.

    do you want to be in my squash movie?
