Happened on the mash?

:/

my 725. but a friend bought a bike today and asked me to take it for a spin for some reason (she bought it off CL) and it reminded me of that situation. I wondered how scrod would've handled it.

When and if you go bowling, is it candlepin or normal style?

I thought it would be an total ass hatchet but it's really not bad.

I'd start off by telling them nicely to stop (once) and if they didn't, I'd have no trouble putting tears in their eyes one way or another.

Candlepin. There aren't many places around here that use the normal, larger pins.

TIL: there is more than one type of bowling.

Candlepin bowling is a tri-state New England (MA, NH and ME) thing originally introduced by the Canadians and uses smaller pins and balls than traditional ten pin bowling. It's not typically found in other parts of the country.

Didn't even know that you could find that anywhere in the states. I used to see it when I visited my wife (then girlfriend) at her parent's house. At first I thought it was some sort of skeeball-on-steroids meant for kids.

Back in the day we used to hit a duckpin bowling alley. Same ball as candlepin, but shorter versions of tenpin style pins.

Also, while we're on Boston specialities, Dr. McGillicudy's? I have a couple friends that just went to Boston and they're telling me about all the wierd crap there they'd never seen and convincing me I should go sometime.

Saving this one.

If you ever come visit, I'm not allowing you to drink Dr. McGillicruddy's.

I grew up and lived in NH/MA for a long time, but my parents are from the midwest, where candlepin bowling doesn't exist. My dad jokingly calls it "overhand" bowling. Side note: playing it that way WILL get you thrown out of the bowling alley.

10-pin, candlepin, whatever, both are pretty fun.

Fair enough. However, if you ever come to Chicago, you gotta drink some Malort. It's a Chicago right of passage.

AKA "Northern Discomfort". Been there, done that - on tour with Buzzov-en in 1998. **** straight-up tastes like rotting dead animals. Never again.

What kind of cell phone do you use?

Forgot you travelled extensively. I love Malort man. I'll admit it's an acquired taste, but I dig it. Malort and Coke with a squeeze of lime? I prefer it over Captain and Coke any day.

Samsung Galaxy S2...and I love it.

Sweet. If I weren't an Apple fanboy, I'd go for a Samsung or one of the Nexus phones.

Dear Scrod,

How often (if ever) do you ever run red lights and stop signs?

...

Dear scrod, what wass your dream job in high school?

Dude, **** stopping. I haul ass everywhere I go and never even slow down.

In all honesty, I didn't have one and never gave it much thought. I just roll with it.

Awesome, how old are anyways? :|

I was born on August 17th, 1973.

Do the math.

Favorite video games?

Fixed gear. No brakes. Can't stop. Don't want to.
