If life is just a bowl of cherries, then bowling is a life of launching 12-pound cherry-flavored gumballs. Experience life's sweetest pastime with today's Groupon for Strike Zone Bowling Lanes in Southaven, Mississippi. Purchase a Groupon for one of the following options:

• $10 for three hours of cosmic bowling (Friday–Saturday, 9 p.m. to midnight) and shoes for two people (a $30 value)
• $20 for two games of regular bowling and shoe rental for up to five people (up to a $54.50 value)

Strike Zone Bowling Lanes befuddles bowlers’ brains with 32 lane choices, all of which offer automatic scoring and a fun-for-the-whole-family alternative to flipping illegally parked horse buggies. A pair of fine friends can highlight their relationship during a night of cosmic boogie bowling, offered Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to midnight. While a jukebox releases its pent-up musical frustrations into the neon-lit atmosphere, strobes slice through the darkness like spatulas into fried egg yolks as lines of light lead down the lanes into an illuminated event horizon from which no ball can escape. With the other option, families or groups of five can enjoy taking aim at pins together on their day or night of choice. Prices vary per game ($1–$3.95) depending on when you play, but your Groupon can be redeemed during any regular bowling hours. Shoes (normally $3) are included with both options, giving players the power to walk without angering the sensitive wood floors.

Strike Zone Bowling Lanes is a non-smoking facility and features a pizza café for ending hunger, a game room that includes pool and darts, and a pro shop stocked with name-brand bowling goods and retired actual pros. Loosen up your tight elbows and the elbows of others with a few rousing rounds of bowling while calibrating your laser vision when targeting helpless targets at the end of the lane.
