#008: Completely Irrelevant!!

Currently listening to: “Girl Anachronism” – The Dresden Dolls

I realize that I have once mentioned pétanque a few blog entries back, which led to various comments/questions regarding its validity as a sport, what it comprises, etc. So I’ve taken the liberties with Wikipedia; here are some facts for you.

Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is, while standing with the feet together in a small circle, to throw metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (jack). The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played on grass or other surfaces. Sandy beaches are not suitable.

Here is a photo of the World Pétanque Championships in 2006.
Ooooh lookie, Canadian participants!

There is also a Canadian Federation of Pétanque, if anyone’s interested.

…this was, by the way, totally pointless: another bit of drabble brought to you by your resident madhouse escapee.
