My cousin, the bowler.
« on: April 03, 2009, 02:54:10 pm »

I have a cousin. He is a big guy with an addictive personality. He is a person that takes things to an extreme whenever no apparent limit is forced on him.

Example: He often invites me to an All-you-can-eat type buffet. The usual trip to this restaurant is 1 and a half to 2 hours long as he eats. He is not a slow eater, he finishes more plates of food than any other person I know.

Within the last couple months, he's taken up bowling as a hobby. He started out as a very bad player, but he took a liking to the game and got much better through practice. He has very strong hands and wrists, so playing multiple games is no problem for him.

At the bowling alley, the number of games he'd play was limited to how much money he was willing to shell out per game, that is, until he learned of the membership offer, where for a mere 60 dollars, he can bowl as many games as he wants, all day, for an entire month.

Taking the Alley up on it's offer, whenever he heads out to bowl, he doesn't just play 2, 3, 4, or even 5 games before heading home, he plays 50-60 rounds of bowling before heading home. He does this very often, and he apparently doesn't feel any strain on his brawny hands and wrists.

The alley, which had this unlimited bowling membership deal for 10 years, after my cousin took advantage of this offer for a mere 2 months, the Alley is now changing the policy on the membership to only allow 6 games per day.

My cousin has become a very good bowler, the best I know, but he does tend to take things an extreme.

Does anyone else know anyone like this?

Your cousin sounds awesome, I wish I knew people like that. Then I wouldn't have to hang out here all day! :P

I used to do things like that, but I mellowed out a bit. Though that sometimes means I have lots of unexpended energy by the end of the day and can't sleep...

 Ah, my Brother.
 Manager? Qualified leader? Matters not, he will haul those boxes and run while doing it.

 Actually, it appears to be a thing my family shares. Lifting heavy things hell yes!

My cousin is a useless human being and always will be.

I know people that focus their efforts on seemingly minor things, but it was usually something that would like... get them a job.

Well, except for WOW players. They are grouped in with my cousin, pretty much.

They didn't change his deal, he's still allowed to bowl as much as he wants, its just that when his membership runs out, he's gonna be stuck with the new one.

And it should be captioned: "The man who broke us, FEAR HIM!"
