"Shake Hands With The Pins"

That's how my friend Brian taught me to throw an effective hook with a bowling ball. When you roll, you just shake hands with the pins.

I was writing a post for The Big Lead and I wanted to end with that reference, but realized that the tens of thousands of people who might read it probably wouldn't get something said between two college kids in Albany, New York more than 4 years ago. Thus, "shake hands with the pins" would probably be lost on the majority of the readership.

(If you came here from TBL to read this, I hope you get it now.)

See, politicians shake hands when they campaign and bowlers shake hands with the pins when they bowl. See how that fits together? Pretty damn clever if you ask me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find out if John McCain or Hilary Clinton are any good at jarts.
