That would not be tolerated at my local alley...

Please break down the cost because I'm finding this rather hard to believe. I'm not calling you a liar, I just really want to see the breakdownmatuski said:

The Lucky Strike hipster lanes across from AT&T Park in SF charges $75/hour per lane plus a mandatory $5 per person shoe rental (even if you have your own) and a $20 per person food & beverage minimumu on weekends.
For bowling.

$5 for shoes even if you have your own? Is that to help SF cover the $190,000 they have to pay that illegal immigrant?
What if you just want to bowl one or two games? Can you just pay per game if it's not busy?

Yeah I have seen a few not get sanctioned after the ABC comes out and checks the lane. I was bowling in a tournament where a guy bowled a 293 because he didn't want the ABC to come out and measure the lanes.

My best game is a 242. My best series, which involved that best game, was a 599. League bowled one year, average was 161. I was a bit surprised by my average. I would have thought it would have been higher since most frequently I threw in the 180's, but the occasional stinker really holds the average down.

Had this argument with a co-worker many years ago who claimed 10-pin took more skill. I was like
.My mom's side of the family was big into 10-pin ... Some TV appearances on old UHF shows. But I always much preferred Candlepin, bowled in a couple of leagues. When I was a kid, Candlepin Bowling (Don Gillis), that one on Ch. 27 with Bob Fouracre, and ABC's Pro Bowlers Tour were almost appointment viewing.

I worked at 2 different bowling alleys for a couple years when I was in school. I remember seeing ABC come out to check the lanes, but I had never heard of one not getting sanctioned and there were always a lot of 300's and 800's in those houses.

This is amazing. Season 2, episode 8: Roy Rogers and Don Adams vs. Bob Newhart and George Foreman
Don Adams with a mustaches, gold chain and button-down shirt completely open. Roy Rogers, Newhart and Adams all with some pretty nice form and spin. Foreman just barrels straight ahead. Great first roll for a strike, but losing it a little now. Newhart in amazing plaid purple and yellow pants. Sets up a spare for Foreman with the 10-pin, but Foreman completely whiffs it.
