Bocce

I saw a set at Target and wondered what it was.

It's kinda a cross between bowling and shuffleboard.

It's an Italian lawn bowling game and it's fun.
There never was a horse that couldn't be rode and there never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed.

Yep, what Shellie said. Lawn bowling and fun. Played it at a work picnic many years ago, then got one for birthday. Fun for the whole family. My kids love it.

Is it as much fun as croquet?



Or, cornhole? :D

It's not as weird as it sounds!

I think it is local because I never heard of it until we moved here... but that is fun too, basicly it is like a bean bag toss only with bags of dried corn... (Hoosier thing...)

I remember in the movie Splash when the Eugene Levy character was surprised at one point he yelled, "Bochee Balls!". As a nine year old, that was one of the funniest lines I had ever heard.

I don't think Jennifer is aware of the other definition of that word. (And Jennifer, whatever you do, don't Google it, 'cause Lord only knows what results you'll get.)
