This subject fell flat the last time it was posted...Cornholers...heh...
Edited on Tue Sep-14-04 08:52 PM by JanMichael
But it's hilarious! PLEASE! This is truly a funny, um, thing. There was even a story about Cornholeing in Punta Gorda, Florida a few months ago! People were described as having a jolly old time doing this "activity". It was written, I hope, in a joking way but one never knows...

"For veteran Cornholers, being ranked relative to other Cornholers around the country is great fun and adds a whole new dimension to Cornhole tournament play. Last years ACA Cornholer of the Year, said it best, “the ACA ranking system allows you to play against the best Cornholers in the country without leaving your own backyard, it is great fun”."

1. JanMichael, I don't think it's a joke.
They've been calling beanbag toss this in southwestern Ohio for two or three years now. The first time I saw a sign along the side of the road that said 'cornhole games here Saturday, $5.00 per person' I literally almost had to pull off the side of the road. I didn't know whether to laugh or beat my head on the steering wheel. I was afraid I'd set off the airbag, so I eventually laughed. Still.

If anybody wonders how Ohio people can be clueless enough to vote for Bush*, here's your answer -- they call beanbag toss 'cornhole,' and from all indications, they have no freakin' idea what cornhole actually means. If they do, they're even stupider than I think -- and I think people who call beanbag toss 'cornhole' are pretty goddamn stupid.

7. It's real big on the west side of Cincinnati - actually it's a good
substitute for horseshoes at back yard picnics. It is so-called because the bean bags are filled with corn kernels instead of beans and the double meaning name is part of the attraction.

8. But, but, but...If they actually know (Which it's obvious they do) what...

Holy crapola. They're just beanbags!

12. Just another sign of the decline of polite society.
I think nicer people just don't let on that they get the joke.

2. "Our mission is to introduce our friends
and neighbors to the game of Cornhole."

Thanks for making me spray beer on the monitor.

"To establish and promote consensus for an official set of rules of Cornhole"

3. LOL!
Boy, that's a good one! You'd think people would have better things to do with their time than something like that. Although it would be interesting to see in person.

10. If you're losing is it very hard to come from behind?
“the ACA ranking system allows you to play against the best Cornholers in the country without leaving your own backyard, it is great fun”."

that sentence sums it up rather nicely.

14. As a Cincinnatian, I must say that Cornhole is the greatest game ever.
Cornhole and Little Kings...a great combination.
