[Pipanella]

Mouse, PHReD and Pip's Most Excellent Bowling Adventure





Word on the street is that Mouse was picking on Kenny all day and using 'being nervous' as her excuse. Kenny didn't buy it, and neither do we. Though the giggle might very well be a symptom, among OTHER THINGS. (You know, dontcha Mousie?)

Southland Lanes in Marion, Ohio (VERY near the Harding Memorial), was the scene for six very sweet, very cool, very all-nice-things people to get together for the very first time outside the DOD chatroom. Pip and her DH, Romie, were the first to arrive, with Mouse and her DH, Kenny, arriving a short time later. Pip and Mouse recognized each other right away and ran into each others arms and hugged away, amid fits of laughter. Why.....it was just like in the movies! Tell ya what, Mouse looks EXACTLY like her pics! Pip looks MUCH better in person than in her pics. (Doesn't she???????) DOESN'T SHE????????

As luck would have it, two lanes had broken down , so the lane reservations were pushed back by about 20 minutes, but we used that time to gossip about other DOD members. Oh my, the things we know about you people!! We got all our chatting and snickering about PHReD done first, so that we wouldn't have to worry about him walking in on us and hearing anything.

Okay............time to roll!! I mean, BOWL!!

First crisis of the evening: Kenny's bowling shoes. He would NOT put them on. He begged and pleaded with the management to find him some different shoes, but it was a busy night, and none could be found. I thought that man was gonna break down and cry right there in the middle of the bowling alley.

Kinda purty, ain't they?
