A bowlin' name

Working at a bowling alley means you see every kind of person there is.
Some good, some bad, some extremely awkward and some that are too happy it makes you feel uncomfortable.
I get to witness first dates that involve way to much awkwardness for my liking.
Bowling leagues that consist of mean old people.
And too many people that can't make up their mind. -Just play two games, its easier for everyone.

But wanna know the best part about working at a bowling alley?
The names people come up with.

Its like they feel as if when they walk through our doors, put on those sexy shoes, and grab that neon colored ball they are a whole new person. And to be this whole new person they have to come up with some ridiculous name. We all do it, so don't be ashamed.
But why?

Why does the name- spare me, or gutter slut make you bowl better then YOUR actual name? Why do we feel the need to change our identity just to play a simple game involving a ball and some white pins. Its not like we go to restaurants and say "oh i need my eating name tonight." So why do we do it when we bowl?

Maybe just maybe we like this bowling identity of ours.. Lets face it, its the one time that you get to call yourself by a completely ridiculous- out of the ordinary name for no reason at all! I mean come on, everyone has a bowling name. Weather its Candy Man or Bangin Barbie we all have one. And if you don't, well you better start thinking.

So next time you go bowling you better find yourself a bowlin name. Because you never know, being "unbowlievable" might just make you bowl that 250 you were always hoping for.
