take all you've ever regarded as important and roll it into a ball then bowl with it. If you get a strike, good for you you threw the fucking thing away anyway what, did you think this alley had an automatic ball return? idiot.

it's more of an illusion of rambling.

in bowling and boomerang, the trust that the object cast away will return is implicit to the game. what jaded game are you at, skask?

i think i love this. especially the title! without "idiot" i might like it better. it already implies that.
