Here there be dragons,

and pirates that like to go bowling. Or at least guys that work for a company with a pirate mascot do. Last night five of us went to a place called The Garage that is part bowling alley, part pool hall. Its close to me and, at least during the week, is pretty relaxed. Whatever skill I managed to build in high school PE bowling class I have completely lost. My first two frames were gutter balls, but I managed to pull off two spares later so at least I redeemed myself. One of the guys actually pulled off the Fred Flinstone move where he walks on his tip toes up to the lane. His name is Biggie and he hit more pins than I did that round. I'd hold it against him but he's entirely too much fun. His wife is great too. She and I have a common understanding that Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is gorgeous. We only bowled one round. The game had started late and we all had work in the morning. I'm looking forward to doing it again though. Hanging out with pirates is fun.
