Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Hill, Airy

This is the worst OKCupid picture I’ve ever seen.

“Shut it, jackass.”

I think the guy to your left is wearing a disguise.

“No, that’s just what he looks like.”

Why does Grahame have to stand all the way over there?

“He knows why.”

Kids.

“Gonna replace him with Baby Levon the second I can.”

Sure. Phil?

“What?’

Are you sure about this?

“The customers love it.”

Yeah, but last year you went insane.

“And now I’m back. Besides, I solved the problem.”

Which was that numerous people were pooping on the bocce courts.

“Won’t happen again.”

You sound sure.

“Mines.”

Oh, fuck.

“They’re not lethal unless you’re reeeeally small.”

Like a child?

“Children don’t play bocce.”

No, but they play in sandboxes.

“My plan may have a flaw.”

Little bit.

“I need to get off this fucking hill. Grahame, carry your father down the hill.”

“Aw, Daaaaad.”

“CARRY YOUR FATHER DOWN THE HILL, BOY!”

“Fine!”

Thoughts On Bocce Without Research

  • This is going to be short.
  • I would assume it’s Italian.
  • The basic framework of the game is universal: player stands at a line; the target is over there; you throw something or bowl something or slide something for points.
  • Bowling, curling, petanque, shuffleboard, skeeball, darts.
  • There are more, but I am truly committed to the philosophy of Without research on this one.
  • The topic deserves it.
  • In bocce, you throw a ball down a long sand pit.
  • One would assume that there are points awarded depending on the accuracy of your toss.
  • When Daryl Hannah came out of the water nude in Splash, the Statue of Liberty tour guide said, “Bocce balls!” and that was fun.
  • In Star Wars, Uncle Owen asks Threepio if he can speak Bocce, but he was almost certainly not referring to the game.
  • Someone has been murdered due to a bocce game.
  • That’s not really a statement about bocce as much as it is about humanity: someone has been murdered due to every game.
  • At least one person has died because of a Monopoly game, maybe more.
  • Bocce is played on courts.
  • Phil now owns three of them.
  • He would like you to stop pooping on them.

Bonus Thought:

  • My spellcheck does not recognize the word “bocce” and that is racist.
