The surprising thing is that it's NOT a Republican. I thought for sure this would be about Charlie Crist.

And Gov. Ted Strickland has let it be known he will soon hold a cornhole tournament to raise money for his campaign

There may be some disappointed guys registering for this tournament.

Buttsecks?

Wow. So, in Ohio, Cornhole = Beanbag Toss? Huh. Beanbag Toss may become my new euphemism for teh buttsecks.

And I'm with Abzzstain - I'm positively shocked that this is about a Democrat. I, too, had the first thought of Charlie Christ.

So the public gets to pound the politician in the ass for a change?

So, he's going to show an Oz marathon?

My son cornholed just yesterday.

.

Not only that... but he's holding a cornhole tournament.

God, I hate this farking state.

"Beavis, you can fire...uh huh, huh, huh, when ready."

Yours truly,
Butthead

"Strickland, who admits liking cornhole but also says he's no ringer...."

Bawahahahahaha!! ... :snort: ... :snicker:

Strickland, who admits liking cornhole but also says he's no ringer, will be at each event.

I just spit coke on my monitor.

Everyone's laughing, and riding, and cornholing except Buster.

That whole article is full of so much FAIL that it's a WIN. I can't breathe. I just read it aloud to my coworkers. I especially liked this line; "Strickland, who admits liking cornhole but also says he's no ringer..."

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In other news, the first page of GIS for "cornhole" is surprisingly SFW.

Page two... that's another matter.

This SO should have been greened to the Main page. If this isn't what Fark was made for, I don't know what is.

YES, you beat me to the Arrested Development reference.

I have nothing to add re: the article. I just want to say Happy Independence day, all.

/you are now free to resume debate.

Wikipedia's alternate names are pretty funny too:

Cornhole , Corn Toss, Bags, Bean Bag Toss, Soft Horseshoes, Indiana Horseshoes, Tailgate Toss, Sacks and Holes, Sack-Hole, or Baggo

I recently moved to Indiana. A coworker tried to explain the local fascination with "cornhole" to me when we passed a bar setting up the beanbags and target one day. I don't get it and the odd mental association with "I am Cornholio" makes me randomly giggle anyway.

That's pretty lewd. Can't we just say we're playing with sacks near an opening?

So Strickland likes to toss bags of beans. Is that anything like tossing salad or tossing dwarfs? Or even tossing dwarf salads?

/um, forget i asked...

FTFA:

Not familiar with cornhole? It's a bean bag-tossing game that's popular on campuses and at tailgate parties.

Methinks they mean:

Not familiar with cornhole? It's a bean bag salad-tossing game that's popular on campuses in prisons and at tailgatecoming out of the closet parties.

Yeah, that's what they meant.

I'm a east coaster out in the midwest for college, and I see people playing the game quite often around my apartment. I'm so tempted to just go up to them one day and ask if they're aware what "cornhole" means in most places.

I think some hackey-sacker got busted for weed once upon a time and when he got out of prison decided to make a game that encapsulated the most significant experiences of his life into one game. There's no other logical explanation for such a retarded name.

James "Big Jim" Thompson utilized this strategy for 4 terms as Governor of Illinois. He was on GHW Bush's short list for VP in '92 'til his history of sucking teh dick caught up with him.

Cornhole is actually a pretty fun game, it's like Skee-Ball but with a DIY aesthetic. Don't mock what you don't understand.

Are you talking about throwing a bean bag or taking it up the ass?

I'm talking about throwing a bean bag up my ass. What's your point? Fun is fun.

I just wanted to make sure. Throwing a bean bag up my ass never seemed like a good idea so I never tried it. I had no idea it was all the rage in other parts of the country.

Soy loco por los cornballs!

Don't deny yourself the joy. I recommend a soft-leather or cloth casing for the beanbag. Also, I find that the pleasure is increased if a geriatric woman does the tossing. I'm not sure why that is.

Forget the rubber chicken dinners.

There's a new game in town: cornhole.

The must be SUCH the fun town....

Unless it's Governor Palin, I don't really care.

"Bubble, Bubble! Toil & Trouble! Shakespeare, my Corn Hole!"

If you're at a party where cornhole is being played, you must take a drink whenever someone says "cornhole". Try it. You won't remember a damned thing.


/cornhole!

You can get money outta there??!?!

The Bluegrass State Games here is holding a cornhole tournament as one of the events. Their mascot for it is a character named "Woody".

Yeah, they knew how it sounds. They had to.
