Who wants to play cornhole?

This has to be a joke, right? I mean, the folks who play this game must be trolling the media.

It might be a simple game, but cornhole is taking North America by storm

Been around for years.

You just need a few beanbags and an inclined wooden board and a bit of open space, anyone old enough to walk can play, and manufacturers can decorate the board with whatever theme will attract buyers.

Almost as exciting as curling!!

No one wants to play cornhole with me.

You overdid it in your youth. The fun goes out of it after that many bags in the hole.

Also, agree with the OP - the game may be real, but someone slipped (ha) that "bar-of-soap" move in there as a joke, and you can't convince me otherwise.

I know what the game is, but where I come from "cornhole" really only has one meaning.

The game itself is not boring or new. No idea why some regions call it “cornhole” - most likely for the “OMG, you said that!” effect. Most people don’t call it that.

What else is it called? I’ve never heard another name for it.

What else is it called? Genuinely curious because I've only ever heard it called cornhole.

Where I grew up, we called it "the bean bag toss". About as straightforward as it can get.

Because if we used the word "cornhole", we'd get a bar of soap in our cakehole.

I've never heard it called "cornhole" until this morning.

Huh. When I growing up, “bean bag toss” was a carnival game, not this. I’d never heard of cornhole until college. Didn’t see it out west for probably 4 years after I graduated, either.

If some stupid southern bubba asks me to play cornhole with their trump supporting ass, I am using the big corncob on them.

Fuck you gravy seals, it is not cornhole until your southern ass bleeds.

If you want to play beanbag toss, then play bean bag toss. Do not tempt me with a good time and then bring out some bean bags.

I have gotten to play cornhole the last few years, but I can’t help but think of…

I've heard it called "Bean Bag Toss," but ever since the early 90s, all I've ever heard it called is "Cornhole." And really, the only commercial bean bag toss game I can remember was a lot different than Cornhole.

Apparently the name comes from the fact that the little bags were originally filled with corn.

I can't bring myself to play the game because of the name.

I can't bring myself to play the game because I am too fucking old, or perhaps too fucking young.

It's a somewhat of a popular thing here, kind of. There's a few places that have tournaments. It's pretty boring after a minute or so.

2 large hard ciders or a really good joint and I could see me tossing some beanbags around the bar, but I am pretty sure I am not aiming for the proper hole.

I would be all like "Hey @steve2^4 think fast!" Then there would be a loud thump, and then steve would fall down and hit his head on the floor, knocing everyone's drinks off the bar table. Then everyone would look at me like WTF is wrong with you? People would rush over to try and help steve. Then the ambulance would be called because he wasn't waking up. Then I would have to start sneaking out the door and planning hoiw I was going to ghost the town and start my life again in another state. Then I would have to get to my place and pack my shit and tell my parents my new name and that I would call them when I set up my new life. You all would never see me again, and I would have to find a new message board.

Things like this have happened before. It is why I don't play darts anymore.

I'm not the only one thinking @steve2^4 needs to take one for the team here, right?

he has tried. He did sit through christopher titus with me, and had dinner with me twice. He was in some inherent danger the entire time, but he was brave and stared the evil tererune directly in the eye and let her gum some sushi and down some saki in front of him. BTW it was good sushi.

There's good sushi down in America's Schlong?

Is GA part of the schlong? What sort of weird anatomy shit do you see in the map of the US? I guess it's dick is more like a leg, and it has a hand growing out of it's back, with a really small and empty fucking head. It's main brains are in it's neck and ass.

OK, forget I asked.

I figured you convinced Steve to come down to Florida Man's natural habitat, instead of you trying to smuggle gators into a peach orchard

Yes, but my cornhole is still virgin.

I mean at least in my neck of the woods it's always been popular. I've got like 6 friends who have the bean bags and game boards at their houses. I play a lot of cornhole in the summer, it's the perfect game because you can do it while holding your drink and sometimes you even get a bit better when you're drunk

"Watch out for your cornhole, bud."

You guys wish your cornhole was as refined and well established as mine

When you're right, you're right. My cornhole needs work. It's the @Steal Your Face of cornholes, tbh.

That is a shame.
