  • Strike (bowling)

    A strike is a term used in bowling to indicate that all of the pins have been knocked down with the first ball of a frame. On a bowling score sheet, a strike is symbolized by an X.

    Scoring

    When all ten pins are completely knocked down with the first ball (called a strike and typically rendered as an "X" on a score sheet), a player is awarded ten points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the next two balls. In this way, the points scored for the two balls after the strike are counted twice.

  • Frame one: 10 + (3 + 6)= 19
  • Frame two: 3 + 6 = 9
  • Strike scoring works similarly for five-pin bowling, except strikes are worth 15 points rather than 10 (as the pins are scored with the values of 2, 3, 5, 3, and 2).

    Consecutive strikes

    Two consecutive strikes are referred to as a "double" (or a "Barney Rubble" to rhyme) aka the "rhino". Three strikes bowled consecutively is known as a "turkey". Any longer string of strikes is referred to by a number affixed to the word "bagger," as in "four-bagger" for four consecutive strikes. ESPN commentator Rob Stone created the name "hambone" to describe four consecutive strikes.

    Intro (Gwar song)

    "Intro" is the first "track" to GWAR's 2006 album Beyond Hell. Although not considered a "real song", this intro plays a part in building up tension for the next track, "War Is All We Know", and setting the mood for the album's story with its subdued, ominous atmosphere.

    Relevance to Beyond Hell's plot

    As the first track of the album, the Intro serves the purpose of creating a context for the story to develop in, telling us of how GWAR rest on their fortress, unaware of the fact they're about to be attacked by the Nazi Pope. An interesting point about the song is that the vocals resemble synthetized vocals by Jewcifer in "The One That Will Not Be Named", and it's likely that this is intentional.
