OT Kellogg Bowl closing

ask your coworkers if they know who slypokerpuppy is

 

If a bowling ball won't take you out then you've got to be the toughest guy I ever met. Christ almighty I will not tangle with you.

 

You knew Erik Wilhelm? You and I are probably the only two guys in here who remember him.

 

I do remember him. Not really as a football player. He was friends with the dad of one of my childhood friends.

 

I was at OSU when he was our quarterback and a pretty good one at that.

 

I remember him, too. There was a bit of controversy as to how he landed at Lakeridge. Mutterings of foul play (a Lakeridge-rented apartment or such) bandied about.

IIRC, Wilhelm played one season with J.J. Birden at Lakeridge.

 

Wow, the connections.

 

Lanny, I grew up right off McVey Blvd.....a few blocks from Palisades Lanes. Do you remember that place? All us kids in the neighborhood started bowling there when we were around 11 or 12. I really enjoyed it. Ended up working there as a pin spotter when I was around 15. Got paid $2.50/hr plus free bowling. It was a pretty good gig for a young teen. I think I ended up averaging around 192. I think I was 18. Thought about becoming a pro around that time. That is, until an HBO-televised tournament came to town at the bowling alley. Man, I saw those guys and said forget it! *sigh*

 

You went to OSU in the mid 80's?

 

Curt?

 

Heh, something like that.

 

Avatar, or you've never happened!

 

oh I happened sweetheart.

Palisades, dude. Get it right. Oh, and it's Kellogg.

And who doesn't love Woody Harrelson?!

 

Apparently you munsoned yourself.

 

...says one who's made attempts to subjugate Sly's handle. Heh.
