I noticed at the very end of the video there was a guy smoking a cigarette as the camera panned across the backround. You can still smoke in a bowling center in MI? Lucky people, At least there are still places in America that are still supposed to be what America is all about, land of the free!!!!

BIGGREENLEAF1, good catch. the state of michigan does not have any smoking ban. We are 1 of 15 states in the USA that still permits smoking in public places. I cannot wait and pray for the day until this backward state comes out of the dark ages. The political BS drives me nuts!

I know what you mean about backwards states and political BS. You should see the crazy rules and laws in Massachusetts, for example I have been a licensed driver for 25 years and have a valid Minneosta license but Mass. dosen't regognize that state along with two others so to get a Mass. license I had to take a written and road test and they failed me on my road test last week because I stopped at a stop sign but had to roll a little to see the intersection was clear. Go figure!!! LoL

On a side note, just last week, Michigan approved a law banning smoking in public. We join the other 37 states on May 1, 2010. Can't wait to finally bowl in a smoke free environment.

beautiful set... people will always try to knock down good bowling, just let them talk... i had 836 and 859 in back to back weeks and i hear it constantly about how hard the game is now or whatever... leagues are still about fun and fair competition and you did it quite well that night... and don't worry about the last one i have a 295 and a 297 in my life GREAT BOWLING

I've never seen anyone so locked in. 32 out of 36 X's. As I mentioned before, he was using a storm 2nd dimension.

as of May 2010 no smoking.

Country lanes is one of my favorite bowling alleys along with Superbowl!

I like to tease Bowlymania, so let's calm down. I get his drift, though as to what's happening in the bowling industry. Still, one has to make good shots, carry, etc. to bowl 843. As a side note, Mike's teammates, who are all decent bowlers in their own right, shot 681, 643, 564 and 696 respectively that night. I"m glad we didn't bowl their team, as this was position night, and they were 1 game behind us, and we were tied for first.

When I watched my tape, I can't believe I didn't catch the pins! He left the bucket, 2-4-5-9, after throwing it a bit too hard. He was using a Storm 2nd Dimension.
