Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 12, 2018

“Arlo and I are in a serious rut.”

“Be home soon, I want to talk about something.”

LET’S GO BOWLING!!

The tossing of the keys to clarify what they are doing is a clever bit of cartooning.

Maybe this’ll be right up her alley.

I guess it won’t satisfy those with their minds in the gutter.

How will Arlo redirect her wanting to talk to him tomorrow?

Grab your bowling shirt and put it onNo matter if it fits you can’t go wrong;Doesn’t matter if it’s old or new;Everbody there’ll be dressed like you.Grab your balls, we’re going bowlingGrab your balls we’ll have some fun!Grab your balls, we’re going bowling!Grab your balls, everyone!- The Casuals

“I’ll get some sox!” Don’t Bowling allies require Bowling shoes these days?

What a disappointment. I thought maybe we were being led back to the Gene arc with Arlo suggesting they go visit their son. :(

Yep, he did. :)

Just last week, I asked my husband why we never see bowling on TV anymore. I miss Earl Anthony. And yes, I am old :)

Is it even possible to just walk in and get a free lane? Aren’t most of the lanes occupied by the leagues and clubs?

Well, THAT one backfired, eh Arlo?

“I’ll get some sox!” apparently means “Wait here while I completely change my outfit!”

We were in league long ago; weren’t good (at all), but it was a blast. Alas, 2 back surgeries for me & 3 shoulder replacements for Her, and it’s not much of an option. But I do still have my ball & shoes, and every now and then I have force myself to listen to reason & refrain from quoting the immortal Walter Sobcek – “F*** it Dude; let’s go bowling.”

I swear Jimmy has a camera in our house for ideas. Except for the look. Arlo is so much better looking than me, and my bride’s looks beats the heck out of Janice.

“Over the line, Smokey!”

He’xs hoping that she won’t say to some exercise involving pelvic thrusts later in the evening.
