What would be the lowest score with 9 strikes and no gutter balls?

My first pass results in 135:

X X 11 X X 11 X X 11 XXX

Which is pretty lousy for that many strikes, but better than any game I’ve ever bowled. I don't see how you could get a lower score under the specified parameters, since any rearrangement would result in more turkeys than just the one in the last frame.

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.
