Dorie’s Different Reality

I wish to state for the record that I don’t give a good golly Miss Molly about the Rockies or the Red Sox! Baseball is the second most boring sport ever. The most boring sport- though you can hardly call it one- is golf. It’s almost November. I want it to be over. Get off my TV! So may the best team win in a sweep.

Football is the sport of warriors. I have a soft spot for the Redskins- lots of glory in the 80s. Also Green Bay- for the glorious 90s! Football is changing though. Too many overpaid guys getting in trouble for the most bizarre stuff- like Michael Vick. Maybe it’s steroids. So many players now look like big mean guys, not athletes.

It’s been a few years, but I like Duckpin Bowling. it’s like regular bowling, only the pins are smaller and do look like cute little ducks. Also the ball is smaller- only 4/5 pounds and you get three balls to a frame. This is the 37th President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon showing off his bowling form. He’s bowling 10 pins, or “regular” bowling- that’s what they do in California:

All the games of the Classic Olympics were martial: Javelin is spear tossing, wrestling is hand to hand combat. Duckpins is martial like that. If an enemy army invades Maryland, I’ll be able to roll my duck balls at the legs of my opponent, hopefully knocking the fellow down. Or I could stand on the castle wall, hurling my fiberglass boulders. Come to think of it, Maryland is a right militant state- the state sport is Jousting!
