Cheapskating: Free bowling, stinky shoes not included
If your idea of bowling is pieced together from The Big Lebowski and Kingpin, then you probably think the sport somehow involves milk-stained bathrobes and cheap prosthetic limbs. It’s not always that glamorous. But don’t let that scare you away from the lanes this Saturday when National Bowling Day offers amateur rollers a coupon for a free game. While it gives you the chance finally to try out that classic “12-pound balls” zinger on your friends, you’ll need to pony up for shoe rental and provide organizers with your e-mail address. On the plus side, beer’s usually so cheap at bowling alleys you’ll be too buzzed to be creeped out about the idea of rented footwear.
