“Will you draw my bowling team shirt, LumberMack?” Zima aka Ed Tedtaotao — Puget Sound F3 all-time top attender — asked in Kirkland’s Flatstick pub mid May. “Our five-person team” Zima said, “including my wife, Mary Lou, is named Alcobowlics.” Ideas abounded as Zima explained his Wednesday night ritual donned in matching watches, each a different color, attending West Seattle Bowl’s league night. “It’s a social club” Zima said. “We compete, but we also have fun.” I brainstormed ideas of a rowdy anthropomorphic bowling ball to Zima’s delight. “He could be a slapstick heavy, contrasted by timid pins.” Delivering a few roughs the next day, Zima and team picked one as the design evolved from two to six colors on a black shirt over six weeks. I went to West Seattle Bowl’s F3 party last Saturday meeting Mary Lou. “Ed grew up here” she said. “his dad, Ed Sr., bowled in the Army, often bringing Zima as a father-son bonding experience.” Looking over at Zima, a lefty with plenty of spin on the ball, chasing a near perfect game; on his right wrist was a teal watch representing one-fifth of the Alcobowlics.
