Wow. Crazy to think there are people out there who have devoted their lives to become absolute masters of things that I am not even vaguely aware of. Puts into perspective just how small my, well, perspective is.

We did carpet bowls at schools for PE and it's quite fun for a bit of a casual game. It's also surprisingly hard.

I used to play crown green bowls a bit when I was a kid. It was like 10p for an hour's session including equipment hire and the old folks would always be happy to teach you. It's a relaxing pastime with a low skill floor and - as that clip shows - a ceiling so high you can't see it.

No. Bocce uses a spherical ball. Good luck curving a bocce ball like that

Bocce is the Italian version, the British insist on calling it "Bowls".

The French version is called palantir or somesuch. Unknown if Sauron is involved.

The best/worst Jai Ajai is loving Magic City.

I broadcast the sport at my company and its loving great watching these non-players go hard. they're all retired athletes from other sports so they are very unpredictable which makes it so fun.

Also some of them have extremely well fed paunches and inflated egos and its like watching a Will Farrell comedy sports scene.

The most important takeaway: when Gandalf is grimly discussing the risks posed by The Palantir, French Gandalf is warning them all about 'the ball'.

Or, I guess, orb, which is more dramatic but still a meme.
