I am insufficently blue collar to bowl.

That's not to say I haven't done it.

I have friends who own their own balls and shoes.

I have always been somewhat suspicious of rental shoes, although it's probably the balls that are major sources of wicked infections. At least they spray the interior of the shoes with that stuff before they put them back in the rack behind the counter.

I get extremely excited when I bowl over 100. This is a very rare event. I usually bowl in the 80s-90s.

The last time I went bowling was probably on Rock 'n Bowl night at the long-gone Town & Country Lanes in Lansdale. I used to go with my friends' kids, because they weren't allowed to drive after midnight because of curfew. The lights were turned down on the alleys, they had a disco ball, and blacklights on the pins (which was really cool looking). If you had a colored head-pin and bowled a strike, you won a free game ticket from the DJ.
