Junking find (bowling related)

We won't say who specifically, but rumor has it that one of the esteemed members of Team Third Rail has a spouse particularly gifted at the art of junking. But did she find one of these? Or, better put, five of these? For $2? We think not. So what if they're from a rival alley. They have been washed and readied for our Sunday gathering. Because what could be better than a green, bowling mug full of Stella?

  1. Excellent find! I am very impressed with your junk prowess. Now find some bowling shirts for $2 and I'll declare you Junk King.

  2. Wow! These are beautiful! The faux-gold design makes me anxious for tomorrow afternoon, when I will be roller skating with my boys at Rollers (http://ksrollers.com/), in the dry ice fog, under the disco balls. Now Rollers' slogan is "Where Fun Happens," but with this incredible junking find, that claim may be questionable!

    However, as you enter into the second half of the season, post-Super Bowl, one of the things that must be wrestled with, debated, and perhaps settled by fisticuffs in the parking lot is what will go in those mugs. Your reputations and possible cult hero status depends on it. As has been recorded on this blog, Kim Kardashian, Jeff Bridges, and George Jones--to name a few--have boosted your stock, legitimized the team, and elevated the weekly gathering at the lanes from mere outing to epic adventure.

    But I'm afraid in the span of 60 seconds a crooning Adrian Brody may have given you a clear answer to the question, "What could be better than a green bowling mug full of Stella?" A lot of things, including a piping hot mug full of lane oil. Please, carefully weigh the consequences before you off-handedly pour anything in those mugs. They clearly deserve the same reverence and care as the finest Waterford. Their bodies may say "mug," but their souls scream "champagne flute." Treat them as such.

    Your conscience--maybe even your season--depends on it!

  4. Wow, that is not my username. Sorry. Amy the Hoff says, "Those are totally fabulous".

  5. Imagine if that was your user name. Very Orwellian.
