Everything Candlepin

It’s great to get outreach from bowlers like Eddie Dunn and Tricia Cawley and we at Everything Candlepin thank you!  I received an email yesterday from Loretta and Ken – from Canada no less – about an update to our glossary.  Just as Frank stated earlier we are more than willing to take suggestions and accept corrections when we make an error (we are currently still in discussion about a certain World Record Holder’s suggestion to the glossary.  I say “yes”, Frank says “no” – so it’s a hung jury!).

Here is the email – and yes, I will be happy to add it for you

Hey Rich,

Up here is Canada (Nova Scotia) we coined a shot name – a strike where the headpin falls last is a “Julian”.  It’s named for Dave Julian, a former World’s bowler some years ago.  He mentioned to me that one time that he got a great kick on hearing a few Americans bowlers pick up the term whilst in the World’s on hearing the Nova Scotians say it.

Obviously there has to be a reason for naming a shot after a guy, and in this case no one around here threw more of this kind of strike than our Dave.  One might say he had more crap on the ball than Carter had Liver Pills.

Thanks for the email Kenj!  It’s been added!
