Coed naked drunken lawn bowling. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #9

Is lawn bowling the same as Boules/Bocci? GreenPartyVoter Jul 2012 #11

That's often called lawn bowling, but I mean with pins (we have a REALLY old wooden set). HopeHoops Jul 2012 #14

Neat! You must have to have really short grass to get them to stay set?? GreenPartyVoter Jul 2012 #16

When you're drunk and naked, who cares if the pins stay set. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #22

KENDO AsahinaKimi Jul 2012 #12

My middle daughter is quite proficient at that now. She has an armory of swords. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #15

I took Kendo for 14 years AsahinaKimi Jul 2012 #25

Those are really special treasures. She started about ten years ago (with wooden practice swords). HopeHoops Jul 2012 #26

I had stopped doing Kendo after High school. AsahinaKimi Jul 2012 #29
