When Did Bowling Get So Damn Expensive?

When the hell did bowling go up to an outrageous price?? Lord have mercy I was shocked. I guess I didn't expect the cost when we decided to go bowling this morning. I didn't expect one game of bowling for each of us and shoe rental to cost us $40. Holy crap.

I guess they have to charge that much because you have kids "bowling" (basically bouncing) balls down the lane and it causes them to warp since a six pound bowling ball is really not supposed to bounce.

I'm going to say it...I remember bowling with my friend Jackie as a kid for 99 cents a game. I guess inflation has kicked in big time in the bowling alley!

But it was fun to watch the kids "bowl" and Leo did great with teach them. And thanks to bumpers they did pretty good.

I think next time we'll opt for the Wii bowling, it's free and easy to stop in the event they want to walk away after 5 frames!

It has become stupid expensive. Wii bowling is 10X better without the smoke smell!
