CORNHOLE!?!?! SRSLY?!?!?
Anyone from Ohio probably knows quite well what Cornhole is, the game Cornhole. However this awesome game hasn't penetrated <huh-huh> Atlanta and the rest of the South yet.
My first exposure to Cornhole was a few years ago, we we're heading back from a company outing - I think we'd raced go-karts - and there's 5 guys stuck in a vehicle together talking about what we can do next time we get together. When our buddy Frank (name changed to protect the ignorant) shouts out, "Hey, we should all get together for some Cornhole!!!". Dead silence. At least 10 seconds. Then Kenny chimes in with, "I think I'm gonna pass on that one, Frank." Followed by hysterical laughter.
For the rest of the ride we took turns making fun of Frank. Comments about what his wife thinks about him cornoling his friends, jabs about there not being anything better to do in Ohio. The list goes on...
Now, why in the WORLD would you name a game Cornhole. This game was named by either a) drunk frat boys that laughed their butts off or b) someone's grandpa who's too ignorant to get the joke.
I've since been exposed first hand to Cornhole and it's not as bad as it sounds. Just make sure to stretch out first and watch out for flying sacks... :-)
