The international governing body for bowling is pretentious enough to call itself the Federation Internationale des Quilleurs, but not so pretentious enough to use this image on the front page of its website:

But that's not pretentious - that's cute!
The father of one of my elementary school friends had something to do with starting the first professional bowling tournament/league/somethinglike that. I can't remember what, but there was some connection there.

My Vague Memories: Entertaining no one since 1975

What is that on the bowling ball's head? A doo rag? A cowboy hat? A red pompadour?

― n/a, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

Also, why is the bowling pin drop-kicking the bowling ball? Revenge?

― n/a, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

a sombrero

I thought it was a cape!

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

SO ... MANY ... QUESTIONS

― n/a, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

They're skipping, you boob!

BOWLING BALLS CANNOT WEAR CAPES, THEY DO NOT HAVE NECKS

― n/a, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

But that's not pretentious - that's cute!

I know, that's what I meant! I thought it was cute that an international sporting federation would use such a silly .gif on their website.

Skipping with glee that only a pair as perfect as the bowling ball and the pin can comprehend.

He has the cape pinned to the back of his head. He improvises.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

IT IS A SOMBRERO AND THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS AND SKIPPING

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

The pin is particularly cute. I like how his eyes are on top of his head.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

He's like Beaker.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

I missed the part where you explained how you managed to get that wet.

38 minute wait for bus this morning in snow/sleet/rain mix. it was such a soaking mess that my (once) waterproof boots failed me as did my "water resistant" jacket. i'm soaked through my sweater to my t-shirt although my boxers have dried out nicely as have the rest of my pants with the exception of the cuffs.

Is the bowling ball wearing a gold lame belt? What for? Why would a bowling ball wear a belt?

― n/a, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:15 (nineteen years ago)

Many international sporting regulatory organizations use French for their names. See also FIFA, FIA, FIM, etc. Just sayin'.

"why is the leggy chick in the dunce cap standing in a box of crayons?" was my first thought.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

-gourmet hot dog eating
-sneaking through Canal St farmer's market blockades to get to Lawrence's Fisheries at 4 am
-mallort endurance competition
-bj ramp
