After a quick visit to Google and Wikipedia I realize that I have seen Road Bowling on one or another travelogue on PBS...possibly on Globe Trekker (don't ya just love that show?)...but when it got brought up here I sort of blanked out and my imagination took over.

Now somehow (don't ask me how) I had this image of people pushing empty (hopefully) beer kegs along a road using the bumpers of their cars...this taking place AFTER the keg has been emptied by the participants.

Probably the notion of it originating in Ireland had something to do with this leap of the imagination. Now, I certainly don't want to belabor any connection between the Irish and the consumption of alcohol...I have many aquaintances of Irish origin and can certify that they have as much self-control as the next man...they are just very selective about when they choose to exercise it.

As I think of it the format that I imagined above may very well exist in some way...possibly as a form of polo played on auto tracks usually reserved for demolition derbies....

Best
