Josh Blanchard is a rookie PBA bowler. If he manages to have a long career in pro bowling, he's unlikely to ever live this moment down, from a World Championship qualifier in Las Vegas today. More »

"Whatever way you frame it, a group of men with their morals in the gutter did not spare any regard for human life when they opened fire in a bowling alley early yesterday, striking one man down, according to police." [Philadelphia Daily News] More »

In the semifinals of the Professional Bowlers Association Tournament of Champions in Vegas on Saturday, Tom Daugherty needed every ball at his disposal to reach 100 in his televised-bowling debut. His foe, Mika Koivuniemi, needed them to reach 299. More »

BOWLING. Josh Scanlon rolls two strikes in the 10th frame during the Team USA trials. Then the ball comically slips out of his hands on his third shot. The ball takes it from there. More »

My initial gut reaction to that picture was, "Goodie, you can call for one of those inspirational posterization contests like the squashbag screaming at poor little Asian kid a few days back." Fine, that's still what I want to do. More »

Kamron Doyle pocketed a cool $400 for finishing 30th (with a 215 average) at the Canton Open. Hit him up on MySpace! (Actually, don't do that. He's 12.) Your parents are so disappointed in you right now. [AP/Bloomberg] More »

The President of the United States hates you, America, so much so that instead of fixing the economy like he was told to, he went on a silly talk show to trash talk disabled people. More »

A rogue Australian criminal has adapted an ancient childhood secret that is completely revolutionizing professional bowling. All he had to do was ask—what if I used two hands? More »

It sounds like something out of a really funny movie—or a really bad one—but some stories are just too surreal to be made up. Don Doane, a 62-year-old bowler from Ravenna, Michigan, waited his whole life for the moment every roller dreams of—a perfect game. A couple of weeks ago, he finally got his wish, bowling a 300 during his weekly league match. After completing the last frame, he turned around high-fived his teammates, then dropped dead of a massive heart attack. More »

Ed had given up his dream of being a professional bowler, but old habits die hard. (Of course your caption is probably better). The World Photo Award winners are here, including this one, which immediately caught my eye attention. More »

We've always wondered what inspires people to attend a professional bowling event; it's not nearly as exciting as it looks like in Kingpin. But now that we've seen this guy's sign, we understand a little bit. More »

You might remember last week, when we told you about the glories of the Furries Vs. Klingons bowling match in Atlanta. Well, someone showed up and took a bunch of pictures. Heck, admission was only 10 bucks. More »

Man, oh man, how we wish we were in Atlanta this weekend. It's the Furries vs. Klingons bowl-off. If there's anybody out that way who wants to pop by and let us know how this goes, consider yourself officially encouraged. We only wish Bob Uecker were around for it; Furry conventions are never the same without him. More »

This spry gentleman's name is Bill Hargrove — he's the round immobile object between the orange ball and the red ball — and he just bowled his age. You might not find this all that impressive, though we find it difficult to bowl our age, ourselves. (We are not a skilled bowler.) But readers, smile, because he's 106 years old and blind as a guano producer. More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=261268&view=rss&microfeed=true You know, we mocked the Barbaro message boarders when they claimed that Big Boss Horse was appearing to them from the afterlife. Yeah, we had a good laugh over that. But then a reader got to looking closely at our Jesus bowling post from last week, and made a startling discovery. Just look at the image above, without clicking on it, and tell us that you don't see Christ morphing into the ghostly head and neck of everyone's favorite three-legged racehorse (complete with mane).

]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=248821&view=rss&microfeed=true To be absolutely truthful, this video really confuses us. Why is everyone laughing? Why would anyone think that Jesus would throw anything but a strike? Religion generally confuses us, but one thing we're pretty sure of: The Son of God has his own equipment ... Jesus does not rent bowling shoes. We'd also be quite surprised to see Him carrying around his beer with his index finger stuck in the mouth of the bottle. More »

We've become accustomed to cheating in baseball and soccer; but when the purity of bowling is questioned, is there any hope for mankind? Dear God, it must be a mistake. Not bowling! Our story so far: Robert Mushtare, 17, of Carthage, N.Y., recently rolled two perfect 900 series and 12 perfect games in a single league season, helping him qualify for the Junior Olympic Gold tournament, which is the junior team USA qualifier tourney. The problem is, hardly anyone believes he really did it. More »

Kids. They leave their clothes everywhere, they're noisy as hell, and every time you take them bowling they show you up. It's embarrassing, really, when you're trying to impress that special lady with your skills on Lane 4, and over on Lane 6, some gnome is rolling a perfect game. Michael Tang of Daly City, Calif., age 10, weighs just 85 pounds; barely more than the ball he was wielding on Saturday when he threw a 300 game in junior league play at Ocean Bowl in Pacifica (hey, comedian Rob Schneider's home town!). Tang followed that with paltry games of 163 and 193 for a 656 series. The youngest person ever to throw a perfect game, Tang, naturally, wants to become a pro golfer. More »
