One time I have an Asian family in the lane next to me, father has a little daughter that is using the metal bowling ramp for disabled people which is fine. But every time she shoots the fat fuck goes up next to her and holds the ramp on my side of his lane, crouches down and sticks his fat ass into my lane so I have to wait several minutes to roll until his daughter is done. Then multiple times he has the audacity to move the ramp over into my lane literally blocking the whole thing and I have to go pick it up and move it out of the way.

Other times I am surrounded by groups of Indian guys who are fucking running around like mad men getting in my lane. When one of them is throwing the ball there has to always be at least 2 or 3 others hovering right around him encroaching in my lane and messing up my shot.

Last night I go bowling again and 2 FOB asians in the lane next to me. I think okay, at least there is the ball return (that we share) separating us. Well the asian guy and his girl precede to grab 4 balls each of various weights for the two of them so 8 balls total. That alone is retarded. But the worst part is at least 50% of the time instead of using one of their 8 balls they keep using either mine or my friends ball to bowl instead of theirs. So I go up to bowl and have to wait another minute to throw because my ball is in the fucking ball return half the time because they keep using it.

There should be a required course at the bowling alley that teaches these foreigners American bowling etiquette and how to assimilate. It is driving me crazy.

Or you know...you could just tell them to act civilized and teach them some manners.

First time riding a jet ski I was shitfaced on tequila, most fun I'd had in a long time.

Is that 40s or 30s comic? Seems normal for that time. It was even so in the 50s.

It would have been normal to at least view them as very very wrong in the 1980s. They may not have called them circus freaks, because by that time many women and men were getting as obese as that, but everyone would know that this is sick. Not today:

Or instead of impotently ranting about it on the internet, you can tell them to stop using your personal bowling ball and to stay out of your lane. Or ask the people that work there to tell them. Your concerns are legit, but your whining on rvf isn't going to do shit; call them out on it!

And the concept "bowling etiquette" is hilarious. Where I'm from bowling is the beloved game of proles, rednecks, and poor White trash(just like how basketball is the favorite game of inner-city Blacks).

Everything we take for granted with computing technology today, graphical interfaces, human/computer interfaces, object oriented programming, hyperlinks, video chat, the mouse and pointers, distributed files, and the like, were all demonstrated back in 1968. Back then people were using punch cards to compute on basic time sharing machines. This has been come to be known as "The Mother Of All Demos"

I was just thinking this. How the residents of the dusty little trailers that traveled from town to town to be laughed and jeered at by farmers in little communities would today be held up as role models.

Now, obviously everyone deserves the basic respect any human deserves, and I am in no way saying that there was anything good about the retrograde idea that someone's physical predicament encapsulates their worth, and that they should be judged on that basis.

It is just that on the other hand, we cannot have a society without aspiration to goodness and beauty, and it is equally wrong headed to hold up people with physical imperfections as role models based on their physical appearance alone.

A true freak is the person who is morally bankrupt, not one who is unsightly or outside the norm. It can't be good to celebrate people solely for their unusual appearance, and the whole idea that what used to be considered freakish enough to pay the bills is now seen as an embodiment of the highest moral achievement.

I will leave out the true unfortunates with birth defects, and that still leaves us with plenty to choose from.

If you use camera tricks, it isn't magic, it is film making. Ask Criss Angel about that. I am assuming this is close to how it looks live, and that when camera cuts are made, they aren't helping in the deception, or again you are cheating as a magician.

I kind of don't want to know how it is done. Never seen anything like it. You may be right about a screen, and he is using a combination of real coins and sleight of hand sometimes, and others he is using images of coins on a dark tv screen.

Funnily enough, my bird is really good at sleights. I'll forward this to her to see what's her reaction

yes - could be an advanced monitor - though with utterly black screen:


Then he would need actual objects mixed with the fake ones - at 02:12 the third coin disappears before the card covers it.

Another option would be a prepared table, where things appear and disappear on strings, being pulled back and forth within openings of the felt table.

The only thing that I am sure is that it is not true magic. If anyone could do this, then they would be doing far more outrageous stuff.

Yeah, the thing that caught me off guard was the re-introduced rose petals, which actually seemed to be a low-density, soft material as far as I could tell.

Coins could be explained by some combination of trick-lighted coins and prepared table.

But there is no reason the rose petals need to "work" via the same mechanism as the coins.

Great call back with the rose petals. If he didn't look like such a wimp, he could probably plow through sloots like a warm knife through butter. He has a lot of time and determination to figure this magic stuff out; he could spare a few hours for the gym and get a better haircut.

Retards:

I cannot imagine how you could create a magic table that could make coins appear and disappear like that, not to mention change into rose petals without the audience catching a flash of anything going away or coming back. That stuff happened in a flash, and does not seem mechanically possible.

There are tables out there that do the trick for the magician, but they are much clunkier, and need covering. Things don't happen right out in the open:

Quote:The only thing that I am sure is that it is not true magic. If anyone could do this, then they would be doing far more outrageous stuff.

Quote:Great call back with the rose petals.

This is a great point. He actually has a kind of dramatic unity to what he is doing, it isn't just one trick after another. That wasn't just an element of the trick, it was dramatically satisfying and surprising as well when those petals appeared.

Quote:If he didn't look like such a wimp, he could probably plow through sloots like a warm knife through butter. He has a lot of time and determination to figure this magic stuff out; he could spare a few hours for the gym and get a better haircut.

Yeah, most people take up magic because their social skills suck, and they see it as a way in. A guy with good game who can do magic can kill.

Like this guy. Imagine if you knew you were going to meet Selena Gomez, and you had less than two minutes to make her drop her celebrity guard, touch her emotions, and attract her.

This guy is the unusual magician who proceeds to do just that. And her response is classic. He makes her forget she is famous and he isn't and that she doesn't know him. She is just a girl being impressed by a guy.

Reminds me of this girl, which produced one of my favorite LOZisms:

(01-07-2016 03:16 PM)The Lizard of Oz Wrote:  Dr. Howard, I can't agree with you about this girl.

First, you neglected to note that she is exceptionally feminine and fuckable as hell. She has superb skin -- it almost glows, it's rare to see this level of health and lambency in skin. The same goes for her hair which is enragingly luxurious. And while part of that is good genetics, part of it is certainly the fact that she has an exceptionally good diet, particularly for a female. If you look at all the vegetables popping out of her fridge, they look fucking great, some seriously nice f'ing KALE and all that kale does is go straight to her hair, her mouth, her ass cheeks and her pussy to make these more deadly and unbearable. When she shows off her teeth kept clean by a coconut oil / baking soda concoction that any good RVF'er would envy, they are so blazingly white that it's as if someone turned on one of those office building fluorescent lights. And I can tell you that up close this girl would smell so good it would almost make you pass out.

Say what you want about these city hipster chicks but when they really get their diet and lifestyle lined up like that -- when they are all kaled up and ready to go -- there is a lot to be said for them. Of course, she would be a feminist, environmentalist, etc etc etc, that shit is inevitable as death and taxes. But this girl has a decent personality, she may be pretty nice, to the extent any of them are. And she has the female's deepest instinct which is the squirrel instinct -- she takes all this environmentalist bullshit as an excuse to do all the busywork of shopping for all this good produce, making these natural pastes and products, all this bullshit that good squirreling females do to occupy their time. That bodes well for her as a wife and mother, and I would bet she'll have kids and more than one. And whatever dude gets it may not do so badly in the end, and he'll be getting some truly sweet f'ing kale-cleansed pussy that he probably won't even appreciate or use for all it's worth. But such is life, LOL.

The Fucking KALE!

I do call them out occasionally, but I've found most of the time it's not even worth it. I've had to clear Indians out of my lane and tell them to please chill out and stay in their lane, but they seem not to even comprehend what they are doing wrong. Once you have the confrontation it kind of sours the whole rest of the bowling experience anyway.

And yes bowling etiquette is a real thing. There are manners that most Americans understand that foreigners just don't get, like not bowling at the same time as the person in the lane next to you. You should wait to let a person finish their shot before beginning your shot.

Am I white trash for bowling? I don't know, I don't really care, it is something I enjoy so I will continue to bowl.

The main point of my post is that this is America, I shouldn't have to teach people how to behave in public at the bowling alley around me. Bowling etiquette is a small thing yes, but I love America and these little things start to add up and they're becoming more pervasive in all aspects of society.

When you have unchecked immigration and masses of foreigners pouring in every day that don't assimilate, it is just going to get worse. I have a right to be angry about the deteriorating culture that I see all around me.

It's like how the mexicans don't understand that common decency at a shopping center like Walmart is to take your shopping cart back to the cart return instead of just abandoning it in the middle of the parking lot.

Didn't mean to come across as whining, I am just an observant guy and thought my experience was worthwhile to share, and some might even find it a little humorous if they have experienced similar things.

At what point am I allowed to complain though? When I have to start telling people not to shit on the streets in public? I wouldn't be surprised if things like that start happening.

Hated it for a variety of reasons. Read the IMDB comments of the Hate it crowd. They had the same ideas about it about utterly illogical crazy story line. Even Prometheus was a lot better.

If you want to see 2 hours of the dumbest decisions on the face of the earth made by a bunch of supposedly highly trained settlers (who account for the life of an entire colony and potentially the future of an entire planet), then watch it. Otherwise wait for DVD bargain bin.

I say the bowling experience is soured from the get go. Putting shoes on your feet previously worn by a drunk jiffy lube employee just rubs me the wrong way. Also, if you ever get into drugs, you will eventually meet your dealer near the dumpster behind a bowling alley.

Here's my bowling etiquette tip: bring your own Skoal. Don't take all of your girlfriend's.
