LIN: Bowling

Ascii bowling anyone?  Well at least here is a pin:

          ,ad88ba,
        ,dP'    `Yb,
        8"        "8
        8          8
        8          8
        Y,        ,P
        `b        d'
         8        8
         8        8
         8aaaaaaaa8
        ,8aaaaaaaa8,
       ,dP        Yb,
      ,8P          Y8,
     ,dP            Yb,
    ,8P              Y8,
   ,dP                Yb,
  ,8P                  Y8,
  dP                    Yb
  8I                    I8,
 I8'                    `8I
 I8                      8I
 I8                      8I
 `8                      8'
  Yb                    dP
  `8b                  d8'
   `8baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad8'
    `8baaaaaaaaaaaaaad8'
     `8b,          ,d8'  Normand
      `8b,        ,d8'   Veilleux
       `Y8baaaaaad8P'


Here is a minimalistic version of it:
   _
  | |
  ) (
 (   )
  \_/


And here's a complete formation:

   _     _     _     _     _ 
  | | _ | | _ | | _ | | _ | |
  )  | | _ | | _ | | _ | |  (
 (   )  | | _ | | _ | |  (   )
  \_(   )  | | _ | |  (   )_/
     \_(   )  | |  (   )_/
        \_(   ) (   )_/
           \_(   )_/
              \_/


                __
               (  )
                ~~

Can such a thing be animated?  And is there a volunteer?

Er... um... HATE to break this to you, but there's 5 pins too many in that
formation.  There's only 4 lines of pins, not 5. :)

Just being anal.  But when you bowl as much as I do, well... what can I say.

Well look at that!  I could have sworn their was only four rows when I 
posted.  Those things must multiply faster than rabbits.  :-)

>Just being anal.  But when you bowl as much as I do, well... what can I say.

Not at all.  Mistakes are bound to happen and, being human, I do my share of 
them.  I wouldn't be able to learn from my mistakes if I never made any!

I have never bowled in my life and I did not have a picture of a bowling
'formation' when I drew this so it all boils down to not checking the 
facts...

Thanks for the info.
