Not Rolling Along

Josh Blanchard had a stroke of tough luck when he
slipped during a nationally televised bowling
competition. We've all had tough days at the office but
Blanchard fall takes the cake.

We've all had bad days at the office. But it's hard to imagine anyone having a tougher day than bowler Josh Blanchard.

Bowlers generally aren't known for their athletic ability as it is. Like most others, I believe if you can drink beer while doing the activity, it shouldn't be considered a sport.

Blanchard showed his lack of athleticism on national television, sliding down the lane before landing on his  rear end. It's hard to tell which was hurt more in this video — his butt or his pride.

I will say that I'm not the world's greatest bowler. Apart from rolling the ball harder than most people, I feel lucky if I can get three or four pins to fall in a frame. But I take pride in the fact that I've never tumbled down the lane — even after a few beers.

Perhaps Blanchard could take a few lessons from Josh Scanlan. At least Scanlan recorded a strike, albeit in the wrong lane.
