bowling is the new black

You can call me and my friend big ol' dorks, but lately we can't get enough of bowling (that's me in the yellow tank)! TMI alert: My boyfriend lives in Philadelphia so I pretty much take a train from NYC to visit him every weekend and a lot of my friends are there, too. So we like to get together at North Bowl and eat corn dogs (no joke) and make fun of each other bowling. We're really bad, but it's fun to have an actual activity instead of just going to someone's house and sitting around or going to a restaurant or bar and spending tons of money. So, I don't know if you have a bowling alley in your `hood, but if you do, I highly recommend you get some friends together and let the good times roll (HAH! Forgive me, I had to write that joke!). So, spill it: what corny/cool activities do you go with your friends? Skating? Jenga? Scrabble?

Tell me! `Cause I want to start off 2007 with some fun new ideas of ways to hang out with friends that don't involve lots of money!
