DO NOT BOWL THIS TOURNAMENT!!! BOWL THE BOSS OF BOWLERLAND!

[GHBC]

SUSIE, IF YOU ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TOURNAMENT, YOU WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO RUN A TOURNAMENT IN MY BOWLING CENTERS AGAIN!!!

[wINNER]

well, well, ANOTHER "TOURNAMENT" IN THAT PHONY BOWLING ALLEY, VAN NEST! I HOPE THE PLACE GETS RAIDED AND EVERYONE IN THERE GETS LOCKED UP--ESPECIALLY THOSE LOSERS RUBEO, BRUCE, AND PBA TOMMY. I HOPE THE OWNER GETS LOCKED UP, AND ROTS IN JAIL. MAY THE BUILDING BURN DOWN. I WONDER HOW MANY HOOKERS AND DRUG DEALERS WILL BE THERE THAT NIGHT.

[no12xsyet Tommy Risi]

To GHBC--How dare you threaten ANYONE that they will be barred from running any tournaments. You should welcome tournaments with open arms, not turn them away, you jerk! If it were not for Rocky, you'd have NO business at all.
To LOSER--If anything happens to Van Nest, you will be hunted down and you will get what you deserve. Van Nest is a legitimate bowling alley, with a legitimate shot, and a legitimate owner. It is not a front as you state.
By the way, I use my real screen name as a member. I don't hide as a guest.

[Koncerned Kegler]

Don't worry--soon Gus and Artie's bowling alleys will be seized by the government and shut down for non-payment of taxes and other violations. I hope the pro shop guy gets out of there before it's too late. Gus and Art will soon be sharing a jail cell.

[no12xsyet Tommy Risi]

I'm going to bowl, and I urge everyone to bowl this tournament. This is especially for those from Long Island, Queens, and Westchester. Come on down, and see what real bowling is. Everyone has a shot, and there's plenty of ways to make money. So, come one, come all, and bring your game.

[Susie]

To GHBC who I am assuming is Artie Monzidelis. Don't think for one second that you have the clout to tell me where or when I can do brackets or tournaments. If you decide I cannot do the "BOss of Bowlerland" anymore, fine. I will take the tournament with the bowlers to another house. Keep your threats to yourself.

[Robin M]

tommy get a life, and Susie I dont think that Artie would do that. And to all you other people you have nothing better to but rag on others. What a joke

[Robin M]

By the way none of you have the guts to sign your name. A true sign of a loser

[GHBC]

Tommy Risi, STAY THE HELL OUT OF BOWLERLAND!!! IF I CATCH YOU IN THERE, I'LL HAVE YOU ARRESTED!!! AND IF I CATCH ROCKY DRILLING HIM A BALL, I'LL THROW HIM OUT OF THE PRO SHOP.

[WHO ARE YOU]

GHBC, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU SPEAK AS IF YOU ARE AN OWNER? I DON'T EVEN THINK ARTIE KNOWS HOW TO TURN ON A COMPUTER AND I KNOW GUS IS TOO CHEAP TO BUY ONE...SO WHO ARE YOU?

[no12xsyet Tommy Risi]

To GHBC--YOU WILL NEVER TELL ME WHERE AND HOW TO SPEND MY MONEY! I WILL CONTINUE TO PATRONIZE ROCK 'N ROBIN'S PRO SHOP, AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME OTHERWISE.
To Susie--I will support your tournaments, whenever I can, either by bowling, or by helping out.
To Koncerned Kegler--I HOPE YOU HAVE FACTS TO BACK UP YOUR STATEMENTS.

[STEPIN FETCHIT]

tommy risi is horrible. Let the man that drools over the pros say what he wants. This tournament again is for bowlers who suck!

[VNL1]

This is to Susie, Tommy, Robin, Rocky - There is no point in responding to these people who post here with their crazy statements. This site is not monitored (except for the "Mature" section, so anyone can post here any say anything, with no way of knowing 100% who it is.

::)We all have our thoughts as to who it might be.

Robin & Rocky - I have no issue with either of you, and I respect you both. You are both good bowlers, and good businesspeople.

Susie, you know I respect you for what you do, and have spoken to you before on the topic of responding to these people, so you know how I feel.

Tommy - even though I break your balls about your bowling, you are a good person. No need to respond to these people, nothing is going to happen.

To the people who post here praising Bowlerland and ripping Van Nest - your comments will be ignored from now on, because it is pointless to respond.

I started this particular post to inform, I have nothing to do with the running of this tournament, in fact, I will be bowling in it, and hope to see a good turnout. We had 32 bowlers last month, and it was a well-run tourney. I didi not hear 1 complaint, other than the usual "bowlers complaining about the shot" routine.

[guest]

pba Tommy I'm not trying to bust balls but you stated come see what real bowling is and the tourney is handicap not scratch. A good tourney no doubt but cannot be considered real bowling if it is not scratch.

[no12xsyet Tommy Risi]

That's very true. I do want to bowl a scratch league or scratch events in the future. I use the term "real bowling" to describe the lane conditions there, which are among the toughest in the Bronx, if not the entire 5 boroughs. To give you an idea, in the 43 years it's been open, there have only been 20 perfect games, and only two 800+ series--which were both shot by the same man! I'm almost 20 pins lower there than I am anywhere else, yet I enjoy bowling there more.

[no12xsyet Tommy Risi]

To Runt--If this is for bowlers who suck, and you think you're so good, come down Friday night and bowl, and try to win this event. Anyone can beat anyone on any given day.

[rightyrighty]

Hey pba Tommy van nest is not that tough it may be a tough shot for you but not for guy's who avg in the 200's plus who bowls there anyway in league the house is only what 16 lanes straight across there is really no big names who bowl's there and what i mean by that you don't like the guy's from westchester to come down and bowl or the good people in the bronx you get the same old people that bowl in that house and most of the people that bowl there are bowlers that have fun and avg like you do 180 that's the real reason why there is only 20 300 and only 2 800 so be honest if you are going to post and Bruce you can back me up on that be honest there are no big names that bowl in there besides judge and rubeo who else??

[English Lanuage Revisited]

My Lord, Rightyrighty, did you ever go to school? One long run-on sentence with no hint of syntax, what so ever. I suggest you learn to speak, then learn to bowl.

[JIMMY TOO TOO]

Judge and Rubeo are kings in a dungeon where everybody else is horrible. PBA Tommy another horror show from van nest wishes he could be 1/2 as good as the pros he idolizes. get a life. Judge bowls real bowlers like Scianna and gets clocked just about all the time. Fat Rubeo who needs the "s' shot to beat Rudy who could spot him 15 on a legitimate shot even at Van Nest also stinks when he leaves the dungeon. And the other statement about the 800s shot by judge were true. If the dungeon had solid bowlers, more 800s and 300s would have been shot.

[rightyrighty]

Hey english what are we in school you ass??? we are talking about bowling not anything else and how do you know if i can't bowl who the hell are you???

[English Language Revisited]

I tell you who I am. I am someone who is disgusted by people who denegrate others ond can't see their own shortcomings. Look down, maybe you will see yours.

Yes, you do need to learn to bowl.

[rightyrighty]

Again how do you know if i can bowl or not? we can set something up if you want

[English Language Revisited]

You don't have enough food stamps.

[COLLAGE GRADUIT]

Eye did knot goto collage for nothin. Eye lernewd how too bowl in collage by mi instructour. If dis bord had spellchk youse cud underdstan dis mesage, rite.
