Ah, beer and Bowling.  It's like little yellow school buses and No. 2 pencils (with beer), or sunshine and flowers (with beer), or chocolate and, well, more chocolate (with wine - what, chocolate with beer?!  We're not savages.).

Whether your sipping brews and throwing balls, or throwin' brews and sipping balls, nobody out here is as think as you drunk they are.

Why even the balls like a drink now and then.  Helps with gettin' knocked around a lot.

This guy likes beer.

No, not the same pic.  This guy really likes beer.

Beer and Bowls with friends, always good.

A beer to help concentrate, less.

Looks like a 'forget it was another Monday' beer, always a goodie.

The deep contemplation beer, only works in the first half hour before it becomes the no contemplation beer.

And my favorite for last, the 'There's no time, place, or situation that isn't made better by beer.'

Phew, nobody wants to know what would happen down here if this had been the opposite side of that animal.  Wait, maybe that's backwards?

But a horse is a horse, of course.  Of course, we all knew they'd be so good at this since everyone knows that's where horses go after racing or fighting wars.  Everyone, right?

If God were actually going to bestow almighty power into any person, there would be no better cause or recipient than this.

Here, from Curve Balls (Maroon), she invokes the holy spirit in celebration of her most outstanding bowl throwing, and God has listened.  The power of the spirit and the holy trinity are surely alive and well in her ball, and she is about to dish out a few plate fulls of smote on those nasty little pins. 

God has chosen a cause to support, and hers is the most righteous cause of all.  Now if only she could turn water into wine, or maybe a dark lager.

Meet The Keglers (garnet) of Monday Night Bowling...

...and their alter egos...

They may look like any other ordinary Bowling Team out at Brooklyn Bowl on a Monday night, but you would be wrong in assuming so! They are actually a highly secret bowling society! As Dirk told me during my initiation: "You've heard of the Illuminati? Well, we're exactly like that, but with Bowling...". They go back DOZENS of days, all with Dirk being the comonon denominator prior to the season. He cultivated this strong group of Bowlers, and is out to recruit more:

The force of this Society is so strong, they turned up at the begining of the season with Team Fezes (pre-planned) ... Imagne that! Their Team shirts happen to match perfectly! How did that happen? It is a secret, of course! They have started to infiltrate the other teams as well! Wandering around, I noticed who was my Kegler Brother or Sister by the appearance of the highly coveted name tag:

As a member of the Society, I can not reveal the identieis of other said members (I have said way too mch already). Photos of bowlers donning the name tag have been excluded here for the protection of everyone...

Sexy Shorts... Always a favorite of ours here at Action Weekly!

When Monday Bowlers Laser CATS (sapphire) showed up to Brooklyn Bowl recently flaunting their amazing attire, how could I NOT feature them?!

Let's take a look at the shorts in Action: Helping with the bowling form/game...

(I hope the only split he got was with the pins...)

Here we see they are great for socializing in any direction...

You guys (and gal) wear 'em well...

Your team name should really be Leggy Cats! (although laser cats really are awesome...)

How I Met Your Gutter (chocolate) gets no gutter here...

Yay! A Strike!! :)

This one from Team Awesome (tx orange) goes for the spare...

Yippie! Got it! :)

Monday Bowlers are so cute when they knock down all of their pins, aren't they?? Oh so precious at this age! I think they deserve a cookie...

At Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg, our Bowlers are surrounded by entertainment! It's behind you, in front of you, and even right next to you. You can't escape it... and who would want to?! All you gotta do is show up in your snazzy NYCSSC bowling shirt, and choose which direction you want to be fully entertained from... Just like the Monday Bowlers above: Gutter Balls (kelly), Engorged With Venom & Triumph (heleconia), and How I Met Your Gutter (chocolate)

Our bowlers really get into the zone at our Monday bowling league.  The focus is strong in this group; both when it comes to hitting pins and hitting pitchers.  And since we never want to distract them mid roll with flashing our cameras and whatnot, we can't always get those golden shots of our players at their most modelesque moments.  So, like reality TV producers, we sometimes have to ask them to recreate their amazing form.  For example, this bowler from Balls on Shins (TN Orange):

I know, you totally can't even tell it's staged!  I bet when you first saw it, you were all like "oh hey, great candid!".  Well, PSYCHE!  Because, well, look at the way he's facing.  Dead giveaway.  I don't think he'll hit any strikes rolling away from the pins.

Oh well, at least you can imagine what he looks like when he's actually throwing strikes left and right.

And thanks to his sweet team picture, you can also imagine what he looks like when he's celebrating with a smile... I think you can call it a smile:
