I feel like I should make some witty comment on bowloing "pens", but I'm
not feeling real witty at the moment.  the best bowling pin that I can
think of at the moment (we gotta be able to do better than this) would be
with a 260.  Start with this (from a posting on making a basketball):

Now take this football shape and twist it about 3 inches from one of the
ends.  You get something sort of bowling pin shaped.
