Yes. Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I was remembering when I was back in Miami Florida and we would meet outside 97GTR radio station with DJs Herman and McBean for Turkey Bowling.
We would set up white plastic lanes, spray them down / grease them up with PAM, set up pins at the end and then bowl them down with frozen turkeys.
Good fun was had by all. :cheers:
Anyway, I propose that we go regular bowling on Saturday the 27th at 7pm at Chamartin to honor both Thanksgiving and turkeys in general.

hey Nige, it is a very nasty american thang and like all nasty american products, it has it's own website --> www.pam4you.com (not what the web address sounds like :jeje: )
Rocco, can we do the bowling on sat., Nov. 27th instead. i just realized that since i do the cooking on thanksgiving here, i'm gonna be chained to the oven cooking the "bird" all day on sunday.
Bowling on Saturday Nov. 27th in the evening works for me. We can go bowling at Chamartin Metro / Renfe station at 7pm. This would leave Sunday the 28th open for soccer or anyone's dinner plans.

ok, sounds good for 7pm bowling and then whatever peeps wanna do afterwards. Rocco, sat. may be very busy there so be sure to call and see if you need to reserve a lane (or more depending on who says they are in).
no big dinner plans this year, just a small family dinner.
still recuperating from last years 35+ people at my place for thanksgiving dinner
ok all, time to let us know you are in for the turkey bowl...
� event: bowling and then whatever. � day & time: sat. nov. 27th - 7pm (19:00) � place: chamart�n bowling (chamart�n station, upstairs). metro: chamart�n (line 8).
please post here or e-mail Rocco at info@madridinsider.com if you are coming so he knows approx. how many lanes we will need.
people who are not willing to wear shoes that 1,000,000 others have worn before, please abstain :jeje:
Ok I'm really confused as to what day is thanksgiving and what day people are celebrating it. But I do think Saturday is a cool idea because I usually spend Sunday daytime at Chamartin at Space, the disco right next to the bowlling alley. Maybe I could just bring a sleeping bag and stay there until the morn', be first in line. :jeje:
hey Jules, thanksgiving is nov. 28th (i think ) and that is indeed a sunday which is when we usually do dinner hence i asked Rocco if he could change turkey bowling to sat. and he has.
Ok, I see I am indeed not crazy and Turkey Day is indeed on Thursday the 25th. However I suppose here in Europe it is celebrated on other days for the comfort of working folk, and Sunday is fine with me.
I am the absolute, all-time worst bowler in the universe (just call me "gutter-ball Zelda,") but I will probably be there so as to make the rest of you feel great about your skills.
Don't know about in Spain, but here in the States, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thus, Nov 25. It falls on the 4th Thurs of the month of November.

jer, tell ena no worries!!! If she bowls as "bad" as she thinks she skis, she is bound to come out on top! At least she won�t have those bruises on the backs of her knees!!!!
Juliette, at least you let go of the bowl!!! I have been bowling twice....the first time I couldn�t lift the bowl, and the second time my fingers got stuck in the bloody thing!!!!!!!!!

madsue, that may be part of your problem... you shouldn't be bowling with a bowl! To even get the thing to roll you need a ball!
