Smokin Joe Seward is seen at lane 17. After just finishing a game, Joe sits and enjoys a Coors Light. Sporting his usual Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts, Joe appears in total comfort. Joe runs his hands through his short gray hair, while admiring a group of ladies, two lanes down, as they try to bowl. Joe casually sips his beer as a massive score of 271 stands on the computer screen above him.
The lights are out
Black lights fill the building
Joe sets his Silver Bullet down and clears the computer screen with the push of a button. Cracking his knuckles, Joe picks up his sixteen pound, red, Brunswick.
Joe steps up
Waits
The pins shine in the black light
Joe takes three steps
Release
The red Brunswick thunders down the lane. Joe holds his stance, in a follow through, and leg in the air.
*CRACK*
Joe - Take that ya darn pins! Ol' Joe's like a wreckin' ball!
A yellow X flashes in the screen above Joe.
Joe - I just love this new glove I bought me!
As the strike rings out through the lanes, Joe takes a seat and pulls over an ash try. Reaching into his portable humidor, Joe produces a Savoy Robosto. Reaching into his shirt pocket, Joe takes out a set of matches. With a single strike, a dormant cigar, changes into a pleasurable and surely unforgettable smoking experience.
Joe - I just love cigars.
Joe takes the first drag
Joe - Almost as sweet as holdin' the UWA Hardcore Championship.
As Joe admires his career and enjoys his cigar, a lady from two lanes approaches. Her name is Karen, and most people, associate fun and happiness with her. Karen wears a short jean skirt and white tank top. Her hair is bright blonde, her age is middle, and her watch is a polished gold.
Karen - Excuse me?
Joe looks up from his Savoy and Coors Light.
Joe - Yes.
Karen - I noticed you were drinking Coors Light.
Joe raises his can in the air
Joe - My good friend Randall. He be a drinkin' Coors light all the time.
Karen - Well, its my favorite.
Joe takes a sip of his Silver Bullet and a draw from his Savoy
Joe - Wait a sec?
Karen - Yeah
Joe - Ya mean ta tell me, ya came all the way over here just ta tell me ya like Coors Light. That seem a little strange ta ol' Joe. And by the way, my name is Joe, Joe Seward.
Karen - Well, Joe Seward, I'm Karen Stevens.
Joe - Hi Karen.
Karen - Hi. Say, I was wondering if you could help my friends and I out.
Joe - That be why ya came ta see me!
Karen - Yeah! Ya see, my girlfriends, Trista, Becky, and I all suck at bowling.
Joe - And Karen Stevens (sip of Coors Light) whatever makes ya think I be any good at this bowlin' stuff?
Karen points up to the computer screen
Karen - The fact you scored seven strikes and didn't leave one open frame.
Joe lets out a chuckle
Joe - Well, ya got me there!
Karen - So Joe Seward, how about a lesson in rolling the ball?
Joe - Alright, but only for you now Mrs. Karen Stevens.
Karen - Tonight, it is Ms. Karen Stevens!
Joe - Well, please excuse me, Ms. Karen Stevens.
Karen - That's better!
And with that, Joe cancels his game to join another. Another game, on another lane. Certainly this game will be more fun, for the UWA Hardcore Champion,
Smokin' Joe Seward.
Before you exit
Remember there is a way back
Don't get lost in the stress
Break the cycle of the boring day
