Meet Captain Fireball


Meet Captain Fireball, originally uploaded by Theorris.

My new ball finally arrived. This is a pin's-eye view, if pins had eyes and zoom lenses.

Look on ye mighty and despair!

You will find my trunkless legs about 2,000 years from now towering over Olympus Hills Bowling Alley.

Note: I would have posted this in its proper place on the Bowling Syndicate (q.v.) but suddenly since I upgraded to the new Googlized Blogger I am not allowed to post there. Oh mighty Sleepy E despair! Captain Fireball will crush you for this insult!

  2. what is the bowling syndicate? (your flashy new ball will not improve your scores, my friend, although it might give you hope in the future, at least for a while...)

  3. I just went bowling tonight--my son's 12th b-day. It's been a few years and pretty much stunk it up. My chipped up and scratched ball looked nothing like this--maybe it could have helped.

  4. O O O O O O O O O O!

    Do you not know the syndicate!

    Do you not know my wrath!

    Captain Fireball shall tear thee asunder, O masked one!

    Aiee Aiee!

    (And I bowled more strikes tonight than I have in a good long while.)

  7. Weak, weak children who attempt to ascend the hights of the mighty Captain Fireball.

    We pity them.

    Pity.

    O.

    Pity.

    O.

    Woe.

    Pity.

    Pity.

    Indeed.

  8. Around the bowling ball, the sands stretched far away.

    Excellent new ball. I think you should be reimbursed by the college--or the English department.

    Team English bowling!
