Pétanque

Pétanque (French pronunciation: [petɑ̃k]; Occitan: petanca [peˈtaŋkɔ]) is a form of boules where the goal is to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (literally "piglet") or jack, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel. It can be played in public areas in parks, or in dedicated facilities called boulodromes. Similar games are bocce, bowls and (adapted to ice) curling.

The current form of the game originated in 1907 or 1910 in La Ciotat, in Provence, France. The French name pétanque (borrowed into English, with or without the acute accent) comes from petanca in the Provençal dialect of the Occitan language, deriving from the expression pès tancats [ˈpɛs taŋˈkats], meaning 'feet fixed' or 'feet planted' (on the ground).

History

Boules games, broadly speaking, are games that involve rolling or throwing balls toward some sort of target. The category includes such games as (French) petanque, (Italian) bocce, (English) lawn bowling, and (American) bowling. Boules games have a very long history.

Behh, Buti Nga

Behh, Buti Nga by Dimsum
Noong nililigawan pa kita
Hindi mo ako pinapansin
Ang gusto mo’y taga-La Salle
Wala kang time sa akin
Ang sabi mo pa nga: “How cheap naman. You’re so baduy.”
Ang puso ko’y dinurog mo
Ang puso ko’y dinurog mo
Sinaktan at binitin
Noong nililigawan ka namin
Kami’y iyong hindi pinapansin
Porke’t kami’y hindi taga-La Salle
Wala kang time sa amin
Ang sabi mo pa nga: “Kadiri to death. He’s so jologs.”
Iniisnab-isnab kami
Iniisnab-isnab kami
Sinaktan at binitin
CHORUS
Behh, buti nga, behh, buti nga
Iniwan ka ng iyong La Sallista
Ngayo’y malungkot ka’t nag-iisa
Behh, buti nga, behh, buti nga
Behh behh behh behh, buti nga
Noon ay crush na crush kita
Hindi mo ako pinapansin
Ang gusto mo’y Assumptionista
Wala kang time sa akin
Ang sabi mo pa nga: “How chaka, pare. She’s so baduy”
Iniisnab-isnab ako
Iniisnab-isnab ako
Sinaktan at binitin
CHORUS
Behh, buti nga, behh, buti nga
Ngayon ay hot babe na ako
Siguro’y tumutulo ang laway mo
Behh, buti nga, behh, buti nga
Behh behh behh behh, buti nga
Ngayon ay seksing seksi na ako
Siguro’y tumutulo ang laway mo
Behh, buti nga, behh, buti nga
Behh behh behh behh, buti nga
Behh, buti nga, behh, buti nga
Ngayon ay big time na kami
At nariyan ka pa sa isang tabi
Behh, buti nga, behh, buti nga
Behh behh behh behh, buti nga
