Last week I mentioned the 5-7-10 split almost being picked up by Charlie Frieburg. This week Chris Ullom picked up the 5-7-10 split Saturday on the Saturday Nite Live Mixed Doubles league!! You hardly ever see that split left or converted. Great job Chris!!!
Brent Standaert came close to another “700” series last week as Standaert posted a nice 692 series!!!
Kathy Alleman bowled a 210 game on the Wednesday Nite Ladies league, while Lori Klinger threw a 203 that same night.
This is from the Rockpile, October 2001:
LaDonna Hutchinson bowled 93 pins over her average. She bowled a 210 game! Dolly Donovan also posted a nice 187 the same shift.
Dean Richardson put up a 226 game on the Senior league while Chuck Hanson also had a good bowling outing with a 590 series.
Overheard at Leaker’s Place: A woman said, “My husband got stung by a bee on the forehead, he’s at the ER now. His face is all swollen and bruised, he almost died. Luckily I was near enough to hit the bee with the shovel!!!”

Sounds Fishy
A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery several carloads of family members followed by a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it. A passerby remarked, “That guy must have been a very avid fisherman.”
“Oh, he still is,” remarked one of the mourners. “As a matter of fact, he’s headed off to the lake as soon as we bury his wife.”
