Hello Bowling Fans and welcome to this special once in two weeks edition of my blog!  No it's not P.B. Atkinson, it's me, the ugly bald bowler guy.

Where have I been, you ask?  Working of course!  And again the reason for my work has way more to do with your entertainment than with my financial security (I'm sure my wife will love to hear that!)  

There are two main things I've been working on from a bowling website entertainment standpoint:  1) The Austin McFreehook Show, which is another animated show about an ex-pro tour lane man and his hapless assistant and his stories from his Tour experiences.  And 2) Maybe the funnest (and funniest), easiest project I've done yet.  It's a piece for Youbowl.com starring P.B. Atkinson as the studio host for a bowling competition between the Playboy Girls of Golf and Missy Bellinder.

While The Austin McFreehook Show falls in the "coming soon" category, the Playboy piece is available for viewing right now, at www.thebowlchannel.com. If you like watching Missy throw strikes, Playboy Girls frolicking around in skimpy clothes and P.B. Atkinson's cynical wit, then this video is for you.  And it got me to thinking about what exactly the initials for everyone's favorite bowling show host (OK, at least my mom's favorite) stand for.

I've heard lots of suggestions, the worst of which was Peanut Butter (my wife), and the best Pierce Brosnan (also my wife - did I mention I don't get out much?)  All of you bowling fans out there are clearly aware of the acronym that P.B.'s name represents, but what if it could also stand for PlayBoy?  How cool would that be for the bowling world to have a regular feature where Playboy Girls bowled with a pro every couple of weeks?  It might just get the attention of a few folks outside of the typical "bowling market" and draw them to our sport, eh?  

For now, P.B. is very happy to be doing The Bowling Show and to focus on keeping up the level of quality (hey, C's get degrees baby!) for all of the fans that enjoy that show now.  But the ultimate goal of us "sport of bowling" types is to bridge the gap between the sport side and the recreational/pop-culture side, right?  Maybe, PlayBoy Atkinson can help.  So check out the video over on Youbowl.com (link above) and also send me your suggestions for what the P.B. in P.B. Atkinson really stands for.  I'll post the best suggestions once I have a few and your reward will be my undying love.

Till next time!
