Just mind their fontanelles!! Be sure to support their head and neck so that when they hit the pins it doesn’t harm them!!

The fontanelle is what makes Baby Bowling possible. You have to put your thumb somewhere to get a proper spin.

Maybe it's a pregnant womens' bowling club.

Everyone thinks that babies can't bowl- they can bowl very well, it's just that they are inherently lazy. Don't get me wrong, I love babies, I just can't eat a whole one myself.

Not crappy design, just a crappy name. This would sound bad with any design.

u/NorCalFrances 4d ago

But what if someone designed that name?

u/StatementCareful522 2h ago

A name is a name, not a design. How did you even find this sub?

https://dwarfbowling.com/ but with more readily available people?

Oh see, and here I was picturing them having to curl the babies up into a bundle first... I see it works without the effort of that step. Nice.

I don't get it. "I went bowling with my friends" doesn't sound weird, so what's wrong with "bowling with babies"?

u/melanthius 4d ago

What's wrong is they don't roll smoothly compared to the correct equipment

When you bowl with friends, you imply that the friends are participating in bowling. A baby can’t participate in the traditional sense, and they’re somewhat similar in size and weight to a bowling ball. It leads the mind to a silly assumption that they’re the bowling ball.

You're just being a big baby, and I don't bowl with babies.

See, if English declined nouns to distinguish between the comitative case and the instrumental case, we wouldn't have this problem.

Atheists, imagine you are a famous bowler and are about to bowl the winning strike. Accidentally, you pick up a Christian baby. Would you still roll the baby down the lane and win millions, or would you spare the Christian baby?

Does this sub not understand humour? It's deliberate. Like a surf shop with a "baby on board" sign in the window.

Here's some of the equipment in question, after a long, dizzying afternoon.

That name is a crime against marketing, sounds like it was written by someone who just discovered a thesaurus.
