gemfyreStu is a little mad methinks.
He kept the widget from a Guiness can, then recruited Rhyllis to collect a bunch of boab nuts from in town.
And then we proceeded to play Bocce with them out front of the shop.
The balls vary greatly in size, weight and balance. Throwing styles can vary a bit from the standard underhand of Bocce. Game is over once some of the balls are smashed on the ground. Balls can be used if 70% or more of the nut is intact. I'm thinking an ultra-fancy move would be to get the hole in a smashed nut OVER the widget.
We're still working out the finer points of the rules. But it was fun, this may become a BBO institution.
