The Lyons Lob

Today I shall answer the ultimate question:
Sean, why are you so good at bowling?
Well, this subject has been the object of discussion and research among scientists for many centuries, and we are only just now starting to unravel the mystery that is the Lyons Lob.
As you can clearly see here, the bowler must be standing completely still in the process of throwing the ball. The ball must be lazily thrown upwards with very little forward momentum so that when it hits the ground it makes a loud crash and moves slowly towards the pins. If there is too much forward momentum or too little upwards momentum then the Lyons Lob will fail horribly. Also, the bowler must do some sort of thrusting and/or annoying gloating once the strike has been stricken, or else the gods of bowling will strike said bowler down by way of a falling iceberg from the sky.This diagram depicts the proper form of a post-Lyons Lob thrust. As you can see, the pelvis must go forward as the arms go backwards with the elbows and lower arms nearly parallel to the ground. There will be absolutely no chicken winging after a Lyons Lob. If this is witnessed by any Lyons Lob qualified individual, it will be immediately reported to the authorities and the perpetrator will be banned from using the Lyons Lob for a minimum of 6 months.In the supplemental graph you can see that the graph must go to the left in order to obtain a strike. Scientists do not know what makes the graph go to the left, but they speculate that it has to do with a combination of the concentration of Oxyawesomeglobin in the blood and the amount beef per square inch being consumed at the time of bowling. If the graph moves to the right, then a gutter ball will happen. It is suggested that more beef is consumed to prevent this sort of unfortunate event from occurring.

There you have have, straight from the mouth of the most prominent Lyons Lob researcher, Dr. Love.

Good day to all.
