Retired folk bowl, we watch in awe

by David Hinkle { Jun 13th 2007 at 4:45PM }

The embedded video comes courtesy of the Bribie Island Retirement Village in Queensland, Australia, where one resident fancies herself quite the Wii bowler. Marion, who isn't the only one fond of Wii Sports: Bowling at the retirement community, ends up tossing a mean ball, showing that she has what it takes to take on all comers. And in the 8 weeks it's been since the Wii has been brought to the retirement community, many others have found a new activity to enjoy.

Grey gamers, gotta love 'em!

I think that guy is letting her win. :)

Really good video though! I'm glad to see that they're enjoying themselves.
