Romancing the Alley {Updated}

So, I don't usually repeat posts...but when I get a great tip that will be added to a previous post, I feel it requires a special mention...

You may remember my Romacing the Alley post.


Well, Ethan and his wife had something to add. (Thanks, you two!!) He and his wife bowl with this little twist:
  • Empty a small bag of Skittles or M&Ms into a cup or bowl

  • Assign different styles of bowling to the different candy colors and then have each person pick a piece of candy at the start of their turn to determine how they will bowl that round.

    Examples for different styles include:
    "Granny Style" (holding the ball with both hands)
    Bowling backwards between your legs
    Placing the ball on the ground and pushing it with your foot (don't kick it...)
    Bowling with your opposite hand
    Using a children's ball guide if available (not to be confused with alley bumpers)
    Having your turn bowled by your spouse
    Bowl normally

    Ethan said, "It is fun to laugh at yourself and others make fools of themselves on purpose. It also helps level the playing field and decreases the level of seriousness when bowling with people who know what they are doing."

    Such a great idea! Now, let's get bowlin!

my boyfriend and I go bowling about twice a month with either my brother & his woman or my cousin and his wife.

We will have to try this next time we go.

Thank You for sharing.

I don't really like bowling much, but maybe I'll give this a try since my husband does like bowling.
