What the hell is a Corn Hole Tournament?

[Bertha Venation]

This is being advertised as one of the draws to a College Night at a Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (minor league baseball) game.

Anyone?

Signed,

47 and way out of it

[madinmaryland]

1. I was going to say, IBTL, but you are serious.

I have no idea what they are talking about.

:shrug:

[Bertha Venation]

4. See what I mean? WAY out of it.

I don't even know why this could be locked.

[NYC_SKP]

8. I could tell you...

...but the mere explanation of the term would make this a sex thread, then BAM!

We'd have to lock it.

:hi:

[JTG of the PRB]

2. This is what it is:

Throwing bean bags across a distance into a small wooden ramp with a hole at the top. I don't play that much because I have bad aim, and I'm not sure of the scoring, but the point is to get the bean bag into the hole.

[Bertha Venation]

3. well, christ, that's just playing bean bags --

they had to rename it to drum up interest, maybe? :shrug:

You damn kids. Get off my lawn.

[rurallib]

15. not beans but corn fill those bags, I would bet

hence the corn for corn-hole.

[northzax]

42. in the midwest at least

where the name came from.

[ornotna]

5. Are you sure they didn't say

Corn hole tourniquet?


:shrug:



:P

[Bertha Venation]

7. Reminder --

Old chick here... history nerd, don't listen to popular music or see many movies, etc... way out of it.

But I'm sure that was funny! :hi:

[NYC_SKP]

6. Locking.

j/k (I have been wanting to do this)

NYC_SKP, DU Moderator.

:P

[NYC_SKP]

10. Unlocking.

Prior Corn Hole Lock Was Premature.

Innocent Bean Bagging Activity Considered In-Bounds.

For Now.

9. Even has an Association

The American Cornhole Association http://www.playcornhole.org/

The American Cornhole Association was established by a small group of dedicated Cornholers from the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio. It has grown over the years and, to the best of our knowledge, now represents the largest organized Cornhole / Corn Toss association in the United States.

Our mission is to introduce our friends and neighbors to the game of Cornhole or Corn Toss (some folks call it Bean Bag or Bean Toss) and to establish more standardized rules for Cornhole or Corn Toss play around the country.

[MrMickeysMom]

11. I see that they have an advertisement for "Hillbilly Games"...

:yoiks:

[skygazer]

22. "Dedicated cornholers"

:rofl:

I'm sorry, I know it's juvenile but that made me giggle uncontrollably.

[HopeHoops]

12. NYC_SKP: If it involves a sibling, cousin, or other relative, it is back in the "lock" column.

Just sayin'.

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. Apparently... all these years...

14. what is this? Crabs? Corn Hole tournament???? I will have to look this up

aaah, THAT game, trying to get a bean bag into a small circle...horseshoes but with bean bags basically....why would they name it cornhole game????? I just thought it was always called bean bag toss, I sure didn't know the technical name for this was corn hole game hahahaha

[doc03]

16. We had a different definition for corn hole back in my high school

days. Rated XXX

[uncommon]

17. Around here it's a game you play where you throw bean bags at a board with holes in it and

you get points when you get your bean bag in the holes or land it on the board.

[LeftinOH]

18. A boring bean-bag game; it's popularity is mainly due to the name "Cornhole". n/t

[Flaxbee]

19. lol, Bertha, I'm glad you asked, because I wouldn't have had the nerve

:D

And now I am much better informed. :hi:

How's your sister? Still recovering nicely?

And what about RatFace the Counter Pee-er?

[Bertha Venation]

29. Hey, Sweetheart

My sister had four weeks pain free, and the pain is coming back. Slowly, gradually, but it's working its way back to where it was, she is sure of it. She's already almost to the same level of pain meds she was on before the surgery. She sees the surgeon again next month. :cry:

Rat Face the Counter Pee-er has behaved herself since the last incident. I've begun using Feliway. The diffusers to try to calm the masses and the spray in specific places to try to discourage markage. We shall see.

Thanks for asking about both. And you, my friend?

:hug:

[Flaxbee]

33. aw hell, I wish your sister was doing better!

Are instances of recurrence after such a big surgery common? Oh, I'm so sorry. :hug: to you and a gentle one for your sister.

But glad to hear RF the CP is behaving herself! I only have half as many as you do, and I feel like I am continually cleaning up furballs and projectile vomit, scooping litter boxes, sweeping up giant tumbleweeds of fur... none of them have behavior issues like peeing in very unfortunate places (though one of them does like the shower; urine only, nothing else). I might lose my mind if one or more of them started to be 'difficult'.

[Deep13]

20. It's like horseshoes, but with bean bags.

[blueknight]

21. its actually fun bertha!

its better then horseshoes because the bean bags are so light anyone can toss them. its been a big game aroung the cincinnati area for years

[Bertha Venation]

31. Now that I know what it is, I realize I've played it before.

But what a stupid name.

:hi:

[Bertha Venation]

30. what the bloody hell is THAT?!

:scared:

[Deep13]

34. It's from the Beavis and Butthead cartoon.

In one episode, Beavis ate a whole lot of sugar right before school. He was so wired, that he pulled his tee-shirt over his head, declared himself "the great Cornholio" and went around the school saying bizarre things. It became a recurring theme.

[rurallib]

23. I think the key is to hit a little short and let the it slide up to the hole

[LibertyLover]

24. It's actually a lot of fun

My cousins all have corn hole set ups and when we get together at someone's house for a barbeque we usually wind up playing at some point during the afternoon. Beer is of course involved.

25. BV, don't bend over to pick up the soap.......

You might win the prize...

26. ..........

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

[Bertha Venation]

32. is that a hint?

wink wink, nudge nudge? Hmm. Message received.

How are you, Mark?

[old mark]

37. Thinking of you.....

:pals:

Hope all is well at your house.

[SoxFan]

27. That was my reaction at first

A couple of watering holes in town put on a tournament every year to benefit the Boys & Girls Club. It's a cheesy fratboy name for beanbag toss.

[Lady President]

28. Clearly, you're not from Ohio

Asking what cornhole is around here, is like asking, "What's water?" :)

Even our Governor holds an annual fundraiser cornhole tournament. As you saw, it's just a bean bag toss.

[realisticphish]

36. yeah, definitely an Ohio thing

maybe a general midwest thing, but I know that's what it is here.

If you ask someone to play bean bag toss, they will look at you like you're a moron.

BTW, I absolutely SUCK at it, too.

[HughBeaumont]

43. I'm from Ohio and I'm terrible at it.

People here trick their cornhole boards out - light'em up and shit.

Unbelievable.

[Skittles]

35. looks like this

[old mark]

39. Actually, Skittles, I think that pic is an ASSHOLE Tournament.....

but I could be wrong...

[JVS]

38. It's not nearly as depraved as it sounds. It's a game where you throw bean bags though...

a board with a hole on it.

40. Well this hasn't turned out the way I thought it would. Nt
