Voodoo, Witchcraft, The Knuckle Ball, and Wii Bowling


Any person who has dabbled in any of the items mentioned in the title of this blog entry unknowingly have something in common. All of these people can tell you that the above mentioned abilities take a great deal of "feel" in order to execute. After half a dozen games of Wii Bowling I am now convinced it is the toughest of them all. Just when it seems I have figured out exactly where to stand, figured out the exact spin/rotation to put on the ball, and then roll a turkey (3 Strikes in a row!) , I follow that up with what seems like sudden mental and muscle memory loss resulting in a 1978 Boston Red Sox like collapse (Not the only famous collapse, but as a native New Yorker, I required by law to backhand the Sox at any opportunity.). And I am not the only mental midget participating in this game. I have seen plenty of people on the road to the magical 300 only to request gutter bumpers by the 7th frame. It's true witchcraft I tell you!
Wait, I have an idea......
Beetlejuice

Beetlej...............Nah, I will conquer it myself
