And don't forget that Vamp Willow was seen playing pool in Dopplegangland, 
before beating up Percy. As for the bowling, I am reminded of Pat Kelly's 
first B/W story(perhaps THE first real B/W fic, outside of meaningless PWP), 
A Two Of A Kind Love. There was a lovely chapter where Willow took Buffy on 
their first official date, to a bowling alley. Buffy was initially 
reluctant, but found herself enjoying it, mainly because of her company.  
Totally off topic, but what the hey?

Grateful, he made a gift to me of these few precious words: 
If you find yourself on a cliffside, trapped, 
with a hungry tiger waiting above 
and a hungry tiger waiting below, 
and by chance you spy a single strawberry 
growing from the cliffside... 
pluck the strawberry... 
and bite into it... 
and taste it."
