The Rock

by Anthony 'Tony' Shivers

 Hello Cosmic Bowlers! Cosmic Bowling is all about fun. And what is Tony all about? You guessed it - fun. So every now and then, I'll kick a little somethin'- somethin' on this web page. As you may already know there is a significant group among us in cosmic bowling who also enjoy the zany and entertaining antics of pro wrestling. And to be more specific, the World Wrestling Federation. And wouldn't you know it, I had the chance to sit down recently for an interview with WWF superstar, The Rock. He is one of the most popular wrestlers out there right now, he's been the Champion, and he is well known for his mic skills and catch phrases. I guess you might say that I got to go "One on One with the Great One."

Here is the conversation we had on the second floor of the Johnson Center:


R: Finally, The Rock Has COME BACK to GMU!
T: Actually, I think this is the first time you've been to our lovely campus.
R: What! Do you think that you can impress Rock? Just because you're Mr. "Student Umbrella Representative," you think you know everything. Don't EVER interrupt the Rock again. Know your role and ask a question!
T: Ah, my bad. I'm just one of the millions and millions of the Rock's fans. Well anyway, I think everyone wants to know what you think about cosmic bowling.
R: Tony, first off the Rock says, he's going to let you slide for now. Well anyway, cosmic bowling is immensely fun. Where else can the Rock lay the smackdown on 10 rednecks glaring at him, and do it under the glow of disco lights and great music? The Rock gets the WHOLE alley to chant "ROCKY! ROCKY!" when I bowl my usual perfect game.
T: Yeah, right. I doubt you bowl 300 every time.
R: How dare you doubt the Rock! The Rock is growing weary of your attitude. Watch your lip!
T: O.K., O.K, don't freak out. This is MY turf, you know. I have to represent. Well anyway, do you bowl with your own, customized bowling ball when you throw your perfect game? One of our members, Jake, has his own ball; its name is his last name ­ Burket.
R: Are you trying to antagonize the Rock with your snide comments? Well, anyway, you did set me up real well with that Burket thing. Here's what The Rock's going to do. The Rock's going to take Burket and shine it up real nice in the Shine-O-Ball-O. Then he's going to turn it to the side and stick it straight up your candy @$$! Now don't waste the people's time, I am the People's Champ!
T: It's all good man. Don't get so upset. Moving on, do you have time for one more question?
R: Well-
T: IT DOESN'T MATTER if you have time for one more question!!!
R: That's it, The Rock is going to have to teach you a lesson. If you can smell what the Rock (insert long pause here) is cooking!

With that the Rock jumped up and no doubt was about to nail me with his finishing maneuvers, The Rock Bottom and the People's Elbow. Fortunately, budding pro wrestler, and my close, personal friend, Jake, stepped in and blind-sided the Rock with a missile drop kick.

-See you at the lanes.
