Brian won the second game, 142 to 131.  I won the third and final game, 119 to 111.  Scores were crappy over all, but it didn&#8217;t matter because I just needed to beat Brian.  <\/p>\n<p>Basically, I won two out of three games and by total pin count.  I think even if Brian won the third came, I still would have won based on the total pins.  He would have had to beat me by 51 pins on the third game to take the pin count lead.  That&#8217;s highly unlikely.  LOL.<\/p>\n<p>Brian wants to do a rematch.  He still thinks he can beat me.  He sure is persistent.  I might just give him another shot at failing.  LOL.  I think we will pick a different venue next time, though.  At $5 per game, the rates at The Alley are just too steep.  Our little bowling excursion cost $60 for the four of us (three games each for the four of us and three shoe rentals &#8211; I have my own bowling shoes).<\/p>\n<p>Our next bowl-off will likely be at Northrock Lanes. They&#8217;ve got an all-you-can-bowl special on Sundays from 12 to 2 PM for only $7 per person.  The price includes shoe rental so it would only cost about $30 for four people to bowl.<\/p>\n<p>We could also bowl in evening from 9 to 11 PM for only $6 (includes shoe rental).  Hotdogs and drinks are only .50 cents during this time.  You can&#8217;t beat that!<\/p>\n<p>We will keep you guys posted on the date and time of the next bowl-off.  Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4161658215\/\"  title=\"0_IMAG0710.jpeg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2702\/4161658215_ee9611f061.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"0_IMAG0710.jpeg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian and I had our bowl-off at The Alley.
