Bach might not but Bocce does. That's a lawn game which I love playing.

It's a game where each player has a set number of weighted balls and they must try to throw or roll their balls to get them as close to the neutral ball ( a smaller white ball which is thrown first) as possible. Whoever has a ball closest to the white ball after all the balls are thrown is the winner of that round. It's a lot of fun. Here's a wikipedia article... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocce" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and you can google it and find more info.

The first part rhymes, it's the "g" that throws it off.

That sounds like fun! The Wikipedia article was very good, too...I'll have to be on the lookout for folk down here who are familiar with bocce. I had honestly never heard of it until this topic thread.

Bocce sounds remarkibly like bowling (of the Crown Green variety)....

Hee hee, so do I say 'jog' to continue that thing or do I say 'ears' to rhyme with sears?
We have a bocce ball set. Except I always thought it was pronounced "BAH-chee" Well, whatever. It's fun!
And now would the next person say 'hog' or 'tears' or 'run'?
