Nah, pretty sure it's something that came off the back of the early church, rather than other filthy faith systems. It doesn't matter anyway, because everybody, at their core, hates Christmas.
I guess I'm not as practiced at tenpin bowling, as I play the gentleman's version of the game, using 21 pins and either peasants or minorities as the pins.
Oh, did I say "TENpin bowling"? Sorry, my mistake, I meant TIEpin bowling; which is another matter all together. It sounds like your gentleman's bowling is a UK variant. We also use 21 pins, but instead of poor lowlifes we use wealthy lowlifes--generally bankers or hedgefund managers. I presume you too play using antique cannons to fire your flaming, lard covered, bowling balls?
I assume bowling in Australia was necessarily bastardised due to the overwhelming majority of criminal scum that we sent over, leading to a distinct lack of apt lowlifes. How fortunate that you eventually grew some other misfits!
Antique cannons were phased out in the UK bowling scene in favour of clay balls filled with bees, smothered in flaming pitch and fired using a horse driven catapult. When gunpowder weaponry grew more common, we felt it was time to 'up the ante', as they say in France.
What did I just read...? If either of you can explain feel free to call me the most understood Christmas loving aethiest across the lands. Please and Thank You.
