Plugging away

We went 5-2 again last night in bowling for the 2nd week in a row. We're right about in the middle of the standings. If we can just keep plugging away, going 5-2 each week I think there's enough time for us to move up, assuming no one starts running away with it.

I did ok, finally got back over 600 again with a 621 (212, 207, 202). Last game should have been much better but somehow I missed a spare in the 9th that I make 99% of the time and then had a big split in the 10th frame.

I also got away with 2 near "Bonehead blunders". First one, I was about to bowl on the wrong lane when the other team yelled out "WAIT!" Phew... then in the 9th frame I left the 2-8 (sleeper). Well, the 8 pin had slid a bit to the right so it wasn't right behind the 2 pin. But, I pick this up all the time. It's not a hard spare. I threw it right where I wanted and saw it hooking right in and turned my back and walked back to the table. I discarded a card and was just about to pick up a new card when Bubba yelled out "Blunder!" I stopped and looked up at the score and saw that I had not gotten the spare (not sure how I could have missed it). But, he jumped the gun and I didn't draw a card, so once again, saved by the yell.



Well, I guess my plea for super bowl jokes fell on deaf ears. Maybe it's because you don't understand how Comic Wonder works. Here's a short explanation.

Comic Wonder uses technology like your voice mail does. After you sign up you just go to the Tell a Joke page. At that page, you enter your phone number (using a land line works best for audio quality) and we call you. It's really fast, as soon as you hit the Call me button your phone will ring. You record your joke into the phone just like you were leaving a voice mail for someone. You have the ability to listen to it, record it again, etc. When you're finished you hang up and the page will show you a Next button to upload your joke.

Once you do that we get a wave file sent back to us from the server and we convert it to an mp3 and store it on our servers. Simple as that.

To get you started, here's a super bowl joke I told yesterday.



Have a good Thursday.

Why not, she wasn't ever going to his funeral was she?

WHAT? You have to TELL a joke? What kind of service is that!

And then you can listen to it? You already know the punch line!

That has to be the dorkiest thing I have ever heard of.

How much do that charge for this service anyway.

You really have no ability to comprehend much of anything, do you?

It's free. You don't have to listen to your own stupid jokes, listen to other people's jokes, dumbass.

No, hold that. You're obviously not the right type of person for the site anyway. We would prefer people with a sense of humor.

I have to work during the Super Bowl. We're hoping it's really cold and rainy here then. If we get some jackass false alarm, we're gonna make 'em wait out in the rain for a long long time if it happens during the game.

bummer. We're going to a party at a friend's house to watch it on his 65" tv.
