Has anyone done a clearing-your-throat version of the Trek theme songs?

For every season I've seen (except ENT), the intro music kinda works satisfyingly well when I mimic it with the classic throat-clearing noise: HERR-HERM. The final trumpety bits in Voyager is perfect for it lol (herrr-her herr-herr her-herm)

Anyway, I tried looking for a rendition of the trek theme songs in her-hermlish but came up empty handed (empty throated?), so does anyone know of such recordings?

Alternatively does anyone understand what I'm talking about and/or is willing to take up the challenge ?

No full 10-frame games at Kingpin bowling anymore?

I've been to Kingpin Crown a few times, even though their pins are on strings (I swear it makes a difference), but in the last visit we could only play half games -- just the final 5 frames :/

Went to the new Kingpin under Lt Collins St last weekend and it was the same deal. Spoke to a staff member and was told it's impossible to do a full 10-frame game on their bowling software.....

I get why it makes sense on paper (easier lane management when everything runs on strict time limits instead of booking by games) but there's almost no fun in skipping the first 5 frames. You barely get a chance to settle into the game before it's over.

I only bowl maybe once a month so I'm no pro, but without the full game and the buildup/competition, it kinda loses the appeal for me.

Anyway that's my millennial yells-at-sky moment. Anyone else peeved by this? Or that stringless bowling alleys are getting harder to come by in inner Melb?
