Professional bowlers bowl not forcefully but gingerly, lending the ball spin and preserving the unhatched robin eggs inside every pin. Strike softly with today's Groupon: for $29, you get a bowling package for up to five people at Ham Lake Lanes, which includes:
- Two hours of bowling (a $30 value)
- Shoe rental for five (up to a $12.50 value)
- 16-inch, one-topping pizza (a $15.97 value)
- Unlimited fountain soda (a $13.75 value)
Ham Lake Lanes champions recreational and league bowlers with 24 glossy lanes replete with automatic scoring and bumpers. Orb-flingers lace-up rental shoes before stepping or leapfrogging onto an open runway to heave bowling balls at ten cowering pins. Friday Night Lights sets the facility aglow from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. with flashing beams and dazzling black lights. In between frames or games, groups can nosh on pizza, fountain drinks, and scorecards filled with tasty turkeys. Though not included in the cost of the Groupon, the alley incorporates a full video arcade, lighted sand volleyball courts, and 10 regulation horseshoe pits, useful for settling disputes over which color bowling ball is scientifically designed to knock over the most pins.
Though Ham Lake Lanes sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

The Groupon Guide to: Helpful Pests
As cruel, unforgiving nature continues to encroach on our precious cities, more and more homes find themselves infested with animals—but not all are pests. Before you swat these multilegged invaders with your rolled-up magazine or e-reader, take a second glance—they might be one of the following helpful pests:
• Spiders: In addition to making beautiful webs that can be used to hypnotize burglars, spiders indiscriminately consume annoying flying pests such as gnats, finches, and your roommate Jeff's remote-control police chopper.
• Rats: Often called the horses of mice, rats provide a helpful household service—chewing through household cords to test them for dangerous electricity. Honor their service by prebuying tiny platinum coffins in bulk.
• Ghosts: If bribed with a small saucer of milk, ghosts will possess your tiresome spouse and force them to play beautiful piano music in the middle of the night. Kids love waking up to this prank.
• Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes help to curb the human body's surplus blood supply before the excess hemoglobin is visibly purged as a sudden shock of beautiful crimson hair.
