I'm So Vain
I probably think this blog is about me.
I've been posting a lot of photos of myself lately. On one hand, it looks pretty egotistical. On the other, I'm pretty awesome.
Anyway, I dragged some Google coworkers bowling yesterday. Most of them came willingly to the Palo Alto Bowl with me. I really enjoyed myself. I reminded me of late nights bowling at Evergreen Lanes in Nekoosa during high school.
Between the seven of us, I won two of the three games. Of course, my highest game was a 118. We weren't exactly pros.
I'm thinking it'll become a near-weekly event for me. Maybe I'll join a league. Wouldn't a Google team be the coolest thing ever? Four-person teams means we could get bowling shirts: red, yellow, green, and blue.
America rules. Wherever you go, there's a bowling alley that looks like it was built (and decorated) in 1976.
Exercise for the reader: what would be a good name for a Google bowling team?

If the league games are really late in the evening, I think "Round Midnight" would be cool, but then I'm a music/jazz geek, not a Googler geek :P
Years ago, I was on a softball team at Microsoft called Runtime Errors. I also played ice hockey at MIT on the D-league team called The Halting Problem. The slightly better C-league team was called Execution Time.
For the Google bowling team, the best I can come up with is Pin Outs or Spare Cycles. Perhaps you could do something related to map-reduce?

Um, wasn't expecting that big of a response.
My vote is currently with "Perpetually Beta" or "Beta Bowlers."

Your post was picked up Google Planet, which I know about because they've also picked up some of my posts. (I work at Google too.)
it's very simple nathan. it is just one step closer to the black un helicopters landing in your back yard

incidentally, googling "bowling googlers" brings you here, more or less. hehe, that's an idea...you could always form a blog called "bowling googlers" and call yourself:
Google 'bowling googlers.'
and make it a subtle declaration.
