Boules, cried the queen!
Stayed out until dark playing boules with the neighbors tonight. That’s a game where you drink wine and throw heavy balls at light balls. I’m good at at least one of those activities.
Both, come to think of it. I was cap’n of the winning team both games.
Yay me!

I’ve seen this game of boules.
It’s like curling for the summer time, eh?
But what do the sweepers do?

What’s next? Morris Dancing? lol
The fwench and eyetalians play boules. Does anyone still play horseshoe? Just to show my age, I remember as a kid people playing it. I like that South American game where they throw explosives at a board. There there is old all American Cornhole.

I’ve played. The object of the game is to try to get close to the little ball, and if the other guy gets in your way you try to make him have a boule movement, right?
I was pretty drunk, but that was the gist of things as I remember.

RicFan: No, us Eye-Ties play bocce, not boules. BIG difference! (b-o-c-c-e, not b-o-u-l-e-s… other than that, yeah, it’s pretty much identical) 😀

Don’t worry, Sweas, with practice you can get good at drinking wine.

Here I thought for a moment you’d gotten hold of a photo of the plan for Bezosville (Bezoston, Bezosburg, Bezosgrad, Sidi al Bezos, Bezosing, St Bezos) on Mars.

Keeping with the previous theme, at least those arent Ben Wah (?) balls.

Boule bou cachez avec moi?
“Will you hide balls with me?” No, that doesn’t sound right. . . .

But you’re in Merry Old, why in tar-nation are you not BOWLING instead of that sissy pants french-whoopsy boules thing.
BREXIT! Those Brussel Sprouts can’t force you to play Continental games any more!

Brits have a funny relationship with France. Definitely love/hate. They like the wine and food and games and holidays in the countryside, for sure.

We don’t play that game here in Canada.
