HamNation wonders: How badly must one reek to bowl a 37?
posted at 6:10 pm on April 4, 2008 by Allahpundit
History demands an answer. What makes this distinctly a Hammertime production? Not the cheekiness of the conceit. No, it’s the layer of 80s popcult Velveeta drizzled on top via her choice of music, which is so familiar I won’t even deign to say where it’s from.
For the record, I would have gone with “Win in the End” from Teen Wolf, but different strokes etc. Click the image to watch.

MMMMMMmmmmmm…. Haaaam.
Claypigeon on April 4, 2008 at 6:16 PM
What movie is that song from? I can’t remember? Karate Kid? Ugh.
lorien1973 on April 4, 2008 at 6:19 PM
I’m not three, but I would be more than happy to go bowl with MKH…
twiggman on April 4, 2008 at 6:19 PM
BANNED.
Allahpundit on April 4, 2008 at 6:20 PM
But I was right! I remembered!
lorien1973 on April 4, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Is she the hottest thing out there, or what!?!
Oh, there was bowling too? Missed it…
Scotsman on April 4, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Wasn’t it Karate Kid II?
upinak on April 4, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Is that pink ball a metaphor for Obama’s, er, girliness while bowling?
SouthernGent on April 4, 2008 at 6:22 PM
She is the sweetest hot thang on the net.
Sweep the leg, Hammer.
bbz123 on April 4, 2008 at 6:22 PM
lorien1973 on April 4, 2008 at 6:19 PM
Hehehhehheee… wasn’t it the begining of the fights in KK? I feel like such a dork!
upinak on April 4, 2008 at 6:22 PM
The best part? The, “I-love-what-you-do-for-me-toyota” jump at the end. Classic.
Weight of Glory on April 4, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Its been a while since a nice Hamnation episode. What ever happened to the Peeps?
AbaddonsReign on April 4, 2008 at 6:25 PM
Put him in a bodybag Ham!
Zetterson on April 4, 2008 at 6:29 PM
Gotta love that gal.
Such bad bowling on Obama’s part is troubling. I however would ask the question – has he ever been bowling before?
If not that is just un-American. I mean really, most of the bowling balls are black (knocking down all the white pins), so what’s his problem?
Martin Lawrence has a theory (from Boomerang, skip to 4:00 min).
Agrippa2k on April 4, 2008 at 6:30 PM
She promised us an Easter episode…
I’m still waiting.
She always did them with Favazza, but now that she’s at Townhall Magazine, I’m not sure if they have the time.
malan89 on April 4, 2008 at 6:31 PM
He only bowled seven frames. Still terrible, but technically she did do it.
Yoosaion on April 4, 2008 at 6:31 PM
wonder if Obama can throw a baseball? that is one presidential duty that would come his way and the last thing we need is a man that throws like a girl.
jp on April 4, 2008 at 6:31 PM
MKH, I need some bowling lessons, any time to tutor me when you come to the Twin Cities?
infidel on April 4, 2008 at 6:32 PM
Bowling sucks. I hate it with a deep, dark passion that falls somewhere between anime and vegetarian hot dogs.
I could, however, really get into Pin Shooting.
Hollowpoint on April 4, 2008 at 6:35 PM
The song choice could have been worse… MUCH WORSE
And I’m lovin’ the pink bowling ball…looks like a 12lb-er maybe? Heck, I’ve been bowling in a league for 6 years now…and with a 160 avg. I thought I stunk.
Shake hands with the head pin is really all ya gotta know.
JetBoy on April 4, 2008 at 6:35 PM
This might be Obama’s first speech as President.
His supporters will celebrate, thusly..
Agrippa2k on April 4, 2008 at 6:38 PM
I didn’t realize how bad a 37 was…! Jeeze, I never bowl, but I’m pretty sure I could do better than that.
4shoes on April 4, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Watching Mary Kay just reminded me how much I miss all those fun Vents from years gone by…
Zorro on April 4, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Ham and legs, my favorite meal…
right2bright on April 4, 2008 at 6:40 PM
Yoosaion on April 4, 2008 at 6:31 PM
From the looks of the scoreboard, she got 38 in the 8th frame.
I’m a little surprised that pro has never bowled a perfect game. God, 299, that’s harsh. That’s all of the pins and then on the final ball you get 9 instead of 10. That must have been depressing.
jimmy the notable on April 4, 2008 at 6:40 PM
forgot the quotes on that last post
jimmy the notable on April 4, 2008 at 6:41 PM
I never liked bowling much. My non-sport of choice was darts. There was a time when I was fairly good at it too but I’m not sure if that’s something to be proud of heh.
Benaiah on April 4, 2008 at 6:42 PM
Those were Townhall joints. My fave is still this one, which gets even better every day. Except for the part where Allah gets steamy for Mother Ham.
Pablo on April 4, 2008 at 6:42 PM
Jetboy, I hate you, I had managed to forget that movie.
bbz123 on April 4, 2008 at 6:43 PM
Mary Katherine, you’re the best around!
ToddonCapeCod on April 4, 2008 at 6:44 PM
Obambi’s pitiful score can probably best be explained by all the ones he “rolled” during his college years yet had nothing to do with a bowling alley. His perpetual grin could be explained by his still rolling ‘em.
viking01 on April 4, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Mary Katherine Ham superior, Constructicons inferior.
ZK on April 4, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Got him in a body bag!!
raiderdav on April 4, 2008 at 6:53 PM
A 37 really does suck. That might actually have been the first time Obama has bowled in his life.
It was great to see Mary. She makes bowling look sexy.
SoulGlo on April 4, 2008 at 6:55 PM
Did someone say Sweep the Leg?
Blacklake on April 4, 2008 at 6:57 PM
There was supposed to be a link there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFlQNtL8F9s
Blacklake on April 4, 2008 at 6:58 PM
She’s that hot and can’t bowl worth a damn?
That’s just wrong. ;)
Ryan Gandy on April 4, 2008 at 7:06 PM
There has got to be a combination of the words “ball, pocket, lane, headpin, gutter, I’ve been pretty bad and ham” that will result in BANNED. Not gonna do it!
dmann on April 4, 2008 at 7:09 PM
What a funny video. Jump at the end made it – hahaha. Quality Ham, again – and so much better than the $100/pound stuff Obama was trying yesterday.
You do know she occasionally sees these threads, right? Wish I had a gentler way of getting this across: that was pretty rude. And not even true. She’s a beautiful woman.
inviolet on April 4, 2008 at 7:09 PM
I wanna go Bowling with Ham! :}
Chakra Hammer on April 4, 2008 at 7:11 PM
I love Ham, but… hum :-)
Indy Conservative on April 4, 2008 at 7:12 PM
It was just a joke.
Indy Conservative on April 4, 2008 at 7:13 PM
I’m not a good bowler..
I usually get around 100.. >:{
Chakra Hammer on April 4, 2008 at 7:13 PM
By Ham, I meant… the real ham… I still have some in the kitchen.. seriously.
Indy Conservative on April 4, 2008 at 7:15 PM
Heck, I bet McCain could even beat Obama at bowling.
Good Lord, what a sissy boy.
faraway on April 4, 2008 at 7:17 PM
I question if Obama’s mother is white.
37?
WoosterOh on April 4, 2008 at 7:17 PM
sorry, I meant ObamaX.
faraway on April 4, 2008 at 7:18 PM
I have to refer you to this breaking news that you probably missed today:
The Drudge Report unveiled today a story about Hussein Baracks’ past.
Drudge linked to an article published in the Mozambican Tribal News claiming that Hussein had full knowledge before his birth that his mother was White and yet he continued growing in her womb until his discharge.
Mr. Hussein, in a press conference today, denied the accusations and said that for over 40 years he didn’t know that his mother was White.
Indy Conservative on April 4, 2008 at 7:23 PM
Mary Katherine not lookin’ to bad there. ummmm
THE CHOSEN ONE on April 4, 2008 at 7:23 PM
Umm.. ehhh.. both stifle it.
Chakra Hammer on April 4, 2008 at 7:25 PM
A flashback for the gun-totin’ beer-swilling redneck MKH fans.
RedWinged Blackbird on April 4, 2008 at 7:27 PM
It’s “too”, buddy.
malan89 on April 4, 2008 at 7:27 PM
BTW, If i were to go Bowling with Da Ham, I wonder how tall she is.. >:}
Chakra Hammer on April 4, 2008 at 7:28 PM
It wasn’t funny, it was disrespectful. When you say things like that, you’re no better than the assholes in the Taliban that make women cover their face and walk behind them. Sure, AP and a lot of commenters here make comments on how she looks, but you just took it over the line and that wasn’t right. Instead of covering your ass behind “It was just a joke”, you should apologize.
malan89 on April 4, 2008 at 7:31 PM
MKH is adorable as usual. Movie is KKid. Here’s the video for Sweep the Leg, which was a pretty cool idea I thought.
My fav is the one of her rolling into to DC smoking a cigar to Soprano’s music.
Spirit of 1776 on April 4, 2008 at 7:32 PM
I almost think AP should swing out the all-powerful ban hammer for that. Really disgusting stuff.
malan89 on April 4, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Nice! Beat me to it:)
Spirit of 1776 on April 4, 2008 at 7:34 PM
You really hate me, aren’t you?
Calm down.
Indy Conservative on April 4, 2008 at 7:36 PM
AP almost did. Make one more joke in that vein, Indy, and see what happens.
Allahpundit on April 4, 2008 at 7:37 PM
Glad to hear it, but perhaps you should make your jokes more carefully (and more respectfully) in the future, since it apparently didn’t look like an acceptable joke to whoever’s editing comments on this thread.
inviolet on April 4, 2008 at 7:38 PM
Sorry, missed AP’s cross post. Thank you AP.
inviolet on April 4, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I missed it. I hate it when I’m late to the Friday night drinking thread.
RedWinged Blackbird on April 4, 2008 at 7:40 PM
Hey we have a democrat!
Spirit of 1776 on April 4, 2008 at 7:40 PM
You folks posting sweep the leg You Tube videos, if you haven’t been to No More Kings website, your in for a treat.
Two other videos are there besides the music video, the song diary explaining what the song was about and a making of the video.

Not sure why the link didn’t show, has Michelle ever entertained a one minute edit option?
http://www.sweeptheleg.com/
gradyman on April 4, 2008 at 7:51 PM
Wow. I am not going to be able to get that song out of my head for the rest of the night.
Not sure whether that slight twinge I feel is nostalgia or nausea.
Slublog on April 4, 2008 at 7:58 PM
Hilarious.
bridgetown on April 4, 2008 at 8:08 PM
Ham rules!
petefrt on April 4, 2008 at 8:09 PM
Lord I apologize for hurting the feelings of this message board especially Allahpundit, Ed Morrissey, Michelle Malkin and Ms. Ham and please feed the starving pygmy midgets of Rhode Island.
Indy Conservative on April 4, 2008 at 8:10 PM
BUT: What does Osama bowl?!?
Bwahahhahahahahhaha……..
Lockstein13 on April 4, 2008 at 8:19 PM
Anyone seen the movie “Clerks”?
The number 37 has a whole ‘nuther connotation. The coincidence is almost too much to bear.
LimeyGeek on April 4, 2008 at 8:19 PM
Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are.
fourstringfuror on April 4, 2008 at 8:23 PM
And yet again the HTML format of HA has galloped down diarrhea drive without a saddle. What the bloody hell is going on?
LimeyGeek on April 4, 2008 at 8:23 PM
C’mon, it’s a classic! It doesn’t get any better than “we’re gonna rock, we’re gonna roll, we’re gonna bop, we’re gonna bowl…”
JetBoy on April 4, 2008 at 8:25 PM
Seems his history indicates he is practiced and accomplished at “packin’ a bowl” (sp)
dmann on April 4, 2008 at 8:34 PM
I’m someone who likes to eat ham, no pun intended.
Indy Conservative on April 4, 2008 at 8:37 PM
If you want to have MKH open a sizeable can of southern fried whoop-ass, just keep spelling Katharine with an “e”.
BacaDog on April 4, 2008 at 8:42 PM
It will be interesting to see if Barack Obama’s upcoming 3 on 3 basketball challenge in Indiana gets this much attention here at Hot Air. I don’t know if Barack easily swishing 3 pointers, making layups on a break away and dunking a basketball are in line with the “we hate Barack Obama narrative” that people commenting here are so dedicated to with their unhinged rage.
If I spent a few outings with Barack Obama coaching him on the basics of bowling he will up to a 160+ average in no time because of his natural athletic ability.
olympian2008 on April 4, 2008 at 8:44 PM
Looks like you had a lot of fun MKH. I’ve even tried a few of those off the wall shots like you did and actually got a strikea couple times. Otherwise, I can’t bowl to save my life but on a good day I can reach about 100. Then again, I only go bowling maybe once or possibly twice a year.
Yakko77 on April 4, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Haha. That was funny.
MKH is so cute.

RedWinged Blackbird on April 4, 2008 at 8:51 PM
Dear God, this thread is like a train derailment and the cars end up two states away from the tracks. Wha’ happened?
wccawa on April 4, 2008 at 9:06 PM
We don’t need a basketball player we need a soldier, warrior and a commander-in-chief.
We are at war.
Chakra Hammer on April 4, 2008 at 9:16 PM
BTW, McCain was a Boxer at the Naval Academy, pretty athletic and courageous sport no?
Chakra Hammer on April 4, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Mary Katherine……… I still like the way you say Nekkid!
Seven Percent Solution on April 4, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Bowling Rocks! Candlepin Bowling that is. There was a bowling alley with an arcade and pool tables across the street from my elementary school. It was my favorite hangout.
Greenhorn on April 4, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Very funny MKH.
Barry O can’t do anything right. I wonder if he plays an instrument?
Mojave Mark on April 4, 2008 at 9:31 PM
YES!!!! I had that!
Jaibones on April 4, 2008 at 9:35 PM
MKH (if you’re monitoring this evening):
I, as one of your legion of fans and followers, hereby dub you:
Miss Prosciutto
For your wonderous “Dry Wit”; Your “Flavorful” commentary; and your “Punches” al dente to the left!
Long my you reign!
P.S. If you ever want to learn to skeet or trap shoot, let me know (much more fun)!
FloridaBill on April 4, 2008 at 9:39 PM
I like the moment of defeat for MKH. The music stops, and she covers her mouth like she can’t believe it. Her natural instinct is to be happy about a strike, but this strike signals her defeat (in the quest to get 37). Now that is quality stuff.
BTW, MKH obviously is a pretty good bowler (see said strike–good aim, good speed).
p40tiger on April 4, 2008 at 9:48 PM
Damn! Ham looks good.
carbon_footprint on April 4, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Mission not Accomplished,Mary Katherine Ham
has thee best job ever!hahaha.
canopfor on April 4, 2008 at 9:53 PM
I will sleep tonight with an image of MKH with that boot on Barry O’s ball…and he would be graced by the experience, given what I have seen of Michelle, like Bill and Hillary, those boys should be so lucky.
Harry Schell on April 4, 2008 at 9:54 PM
Would it be safe to say, that MKH is a true
Bowl-a-rina?
FloridaBill on April 4, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Was that you AP in the back ground keeping score? You were there somewhere…fess up!
wepeople on April 4, 2008 at 10:16 PM
LOL that was great!
WisCon on April 4, 2008 at 10:47 PM
Dude. The Karate Kid theme from the final tournament as Daniel-san is plowing through the various punks on his way to the finale showdown with the Kobra Kai.
It’s on my iPod. Yeah, I know. Shut up.
Was Ham always this cute? I’m suddenly smitten.
Professor Blather on April 4, 2008 at 10:54 PM
So is Push it to the Limit from Scarface gonna be the soundtrack for attempt #2? :P
doubleplusundead on April 4, 2008 at 11:10 PM

The best matches during that song are the other fighters, especially that one match where the guy who looks like an Islander (I think he eventually loses to Johnny) fells his opponent with that spinning back heel and his heel catches his opponent right under the nipple and the guy just goes down like a sack.
_
It’s frickin’ awesome.
