This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

The heaviest bowling balls are only 16 lbs. Anon has never been bowling.

Can confirm, I was really into bowling in college and everyone knows 16lbs is regulation.

I usually use 14lbs, that's the sweet spot for me for speed vs weight vs accuracy without discomfort.

My local bowling alley has a donated pink ball named Virgil. He’s my favorite. 12 lbs which is currently ideal for me, holes are the perfect size and spacing, and he’s almost always available because he’s boring marbled pastel pink, and clearly old.

I’ve never really thought about the max weight being 16 though. I can’t throw that high, even 14 is a bit much.. I used to use a random 11 I found at another alley until I found Virgil at the local place (much easier to get to but more expensive because it’s small)

I hope @sugar_in_your_tea is widely appreciated.

Anon never went lifted above 2kg either, who the fuck can even throw 16kg without having your shoulders disconnected?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

30lbs is 13.6kg, and 16lb is 7.25kg.

I always like dead panning my way thru prank phone calls. My last one.

Me answering phone: (store name) Aeao speaking

Teenage boys chuckling: hello, do you guys sell.... Dildos

Me: yes we do

Boys: oh....okay... What kind do you have?

Me: all kinds. Everything from pills to dragon.

Boys: oh...and how much are they?

Me: all 1.25

Boys: umm thank you....

Me: anything else I can assist you with?

Boys: ummm no that was all thank you

Me: we'll have a pleasant day and thank you for calling (store name)

They aren't specifically ass dildos. General purpose.

They cheaped out on the flared base. It's only slightly flared.

Some like the danger element.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It can be used in other orifices as well.

Got anything for a nose? Asking for a friend.

Shoulda said $1.69 to at least give them a chuckle.

Man, the Jerky Boys would have made bank on YouTube.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Now u put me down the jerky boys rabbit hole. Apparently they split up, and one of them is the voice of Mort on Family Guy, and has still made jerky boys material after they split up.

When I was a kid I called up a local store that sold tobacco products.
"Hi, do you carry Prince Albert in a Can?"
Long Pause. "Yes?"
"Well you'd better ..." click

Of course it's Dennis.
