(Had to come up with a five-pin bowling riddle, since I just got back from an overnight trip to Victoria, B.C., where I bowled my first six games of five-pin, averaging an impressive-sounding 178, which is equivalent to 118 in the other bowling games. In five-pin, the pins are valued 2-3-5-3-2 left to right in their V-shaped setup, and a perfect score is 450.)
My name is Esoteric Eric, and yes... I am a bowler. (Now with three variations to my credit; my current tenpin average is 152, and I return to the candlepin game whenever I go home to Massachusetts.)
Oddly enough, I have no bowling buddy; my current league is a doubles league, and my teammate vanished mysteriously after the first week.
