“Hey guys, I got an idea – let’s throw a fuckin’ bowling ball at the ceiling and see what happens.”
Can you imagine thinking that? Oh….oh…I see…”it slipped.” Okay. You know what – I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt. I’ve recklessly thrown a bowling ball in my day. Happens to the best of us – you’re approaching the lane, got your mechanics ironed out, you take a wrong step, then, BOOM – next thing you know, your ball is two lanes over, stuck in a gutter.
But, whether it was or wasn’t intentional…damn, does this reaffirm the bowling ball as one of the most sneaky destructive forces on the planet, or what?
Stop and think about it. These things just sit on shelves in bowling alleys for their entire existence. Do they even degrade?? Or, are they bound to be this giant hunk of indestructible rock for all of eternity? We don’t even think about the damage they can do.
Knocking down pins is innocent enough, but holy shit. Send it to the roof and it rains down ceiling panels and other assorted building materials. This is why I think, as a country, we need to shift our focus from nuclear weaponry to thinking of ways we can implement giant bowling ball launchers.
Oh, those things exist?? They’re called ‘cannons,” huh? Well, we should bring them back.
Finally, how pissed do you think the people around him were? I would’ve lost my shit! If I’m in the heat of competition and see the roof come caving in…you better believe someone is getting some Sweet Chin Music.
