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.
