Cornhole

[jarvisa]

I figured I better take this discussion outside the arcade challenge thread. Thanks fly I will have to check it out. My husband made us a Cornhole set with the Cowboy logo all over it. CJ do you guys have cornhole there?

[MadMax]

Dare I ask what you are referring to, Amy?

[jarvisa]

It is a game kinda like horseshoes I am assuming you dont have it in your area either.

[MadMax]

Sure we don't. Who would name a game after the slang term for butthole?

[CplCJ]

Nope. The only use I ever heard that for belongs in an adult forum.

We have that game here but we call it bean bags.

[jarvisa]

Must be an OH KY thing to call it cornhole it is actually quite fun and because I was a softball pitcher I am pretty good at it. People decorate their boards all different ways.

[jarvisa]

Cool score card system we dont have that we just get drunk and try to remember who has what points or start all over again.

[MadMax]

Oh well the Ohio-Kentucky thing explains it all. Did it used to be called Kissing Cousins, or was it always called Cornhole?

[CplCJ]

I thought it was the Sister/Cousin all the Same Game???

[jarvisa]

Hey now you are our neighbor as well so the same could be said for your state. And FYI I have never dated even a 3rd or 4th removed cousin.

[MadMax]

Any relation in sequential order will do.

[MadMax]

Hey now you are our neighbor as well so the same could be said for your state. And FYI I have never dated even a 3rd or 4th removed cousin.

Didn't you hear? We put up a fence...

[jarvisa]

Good we didnt want you all hear anyways!!!

[MadMax]

Spell check!!! And we didn't want to either...:p

[CplCJ]

So this bean bag throwing, horseshoe like, kissing your cousin game is played how?

[CplCJ]

Spell check would not catch that, Alex.

[jarvisa]

The boards are place so far apart not sure the ruling we have strings attached to ours that show us how far apart they should be then each person has four bags filled with corn kernals if your bag lands on the board you get 1 point if it goes in the hole you get 3 points 1st team to 21 wins. And of course the points cancel each other out if you both land on the board.

[MadMax]

If it originated with the owner it would. And I think you'll have to ask the Master Cornholer about that one.

[jarvisa]

I dont need to know how to spell all I need to know is how to count money!!!

[CplCJ]

Challenges would have to go to the Cornhole Consortium for review, and there would have to be a TV Timeout.

[MadMax]

I wonder what the cornholers would be doing over their break.

[CplCJ]

I bet moonshine might have a place there.

[MadMax]

And Lord knows what else

[jarvisa]

Actually we just fight the challenges out with our fist. I am in the country you know. Cornhole can be a physical game you know???

[MadMax]

Just one fist? And I always considered cornhole pretty physical...

[CplCJ]

Fists, coke bottles, tropical fruit...

[MadMax]

Just when I thought it was turning nasty..

[jarvisa]

You guys should really try it, it is pretty fun game.

[CplCJ]

So how do you play it?

[MadMax]

I'll pass if we still have our heads in the gutter...

[CplCJ]

I actually want to know how the Yard game is played. No gutter now.

[jarvisa]

What is the yard game.

[jarvisa]

My head was never in the gutter.

[CplCJ]

What is the yard game.The one you were talking about. The Cornhole Game with bean bags, etc...

[MadMax]

Your mind is always in the gutter.

And I want to learn about this game too.

[jarvisa]

I told you guys how it works in an early post did you not read it....

[jarvisa]

They have summer leagues and torneys all over the place around here.

[MadMax]

Of course not. Our minds were in the gutter.

[MadMax]

There are Leagues? This is serious business.

[jarvisa]

Absolutely, people even play indoors during the winter.

[MadMax]

You guys are silly. Beanbag throwing indoors?

[jarvisa]

It is not bean bags but corn bags. Duh hence the name corn hole.

[MadMax]

Cornbags huh? What a difference from beanbags...

[jarvisa]

One has beans one has corn big difference corn bags are much bigger than bean bags.

[MadMax]

Yes, because corn is so much smaller than an average bean right? Makes perfect sense.

[CplCJ]

It is not bean bags but corn bags. Duh hence the name corn hole.What's in a name? You are a bean counter, but you don't count beans. Or corn.

[jarvisa]

Now you had to go and bring my occupation into it. I am definetly not the A typical accountant for sure.

[MadMax]

A bean counter that throws corn. Definitely not typical.

[jarvisa]

I ment that I was fun to be around. And love to spend money.

[CplCJ]

That's good, Amy. I like getting gifts!

[MadMax]

Me too. You wear a bow tie don't you?

[jarvisa]

Who wears a bow tie, and I like spending money on me not u.

[CplCJ]

Amy with a little Teenspeak...

[MadMax]

She's a teenie bopper with a bowtie that buys us gifts!

[jarvisa]

He I am still hip!!! I get carded for smokes all the time.

[MadMax]

Aww. Our little hipster. I don't get carded for anything anymore because I go to the same place all the time and they know me.

[CplCJ]

They don't care how old you are, they are trying to get your address.

[MadMax]

Probably. After all she's a teenage princess.

[jarvisa]

Not everyone is a stalker like you CJ (just kidding)

If you want you could probably go to google and type in cornhole and find the specific rules of the game.

[MadMax]

There is no way I would google that word. Just imagine what would come up.

[jarvisa]

chicken!!!!!

[MadMax]

I'm not scared to do it. I enjoy a little porn now and again, but not at work, you see.

[CplCJ]

My proxy would flag that, guaranteed!

[jarvisa]

Ok do it when you get home and tell me what you find.

[MadMax]

exactly

[MadMax]

Ok do it when you get home and tell me what you find.

Why do you want to know so bad?

[jarvisa]

I thought you guys wanted to learn about the game maybe we are playing it wrong but whatever.

[MadMax]

No, you just want me to look up porn for you.

[jarvisa]

Whatever I am a big girl I can do what I want I have my own computer at home:p

[jarvisa]

And BTW you are so smart and always have me figured out dont you?

[MadMax]

And what do you think you would find if you googled that word? Or I guess the better question is what site would you go to? The official rules or the "other."

[MadMax]

And BTW you are so smart and always have me figured out dont you?

Um, yes...

[jarvisa]

Probably the official rules. Just cuz you all dont know about it doesnt mean the rest of the world doesnt. Type in Cornhole game.

[MadMax]

I think that would be the better option. Even though you're a liar...

[jarvisa]

How am I a liar.

[MadMax]

That you wouldn't go to the "other places" before you'd go to the game sites.

[jarvisa]

Hey you found it though didnt you?????

[CplCJ]

Can you believe we got nearly 80 posts on this game?

[jarvisa]

It is an awesome game.

[jarvisa]

And that is just between the 3 of us.

[MadMax]

Can you believe we got nearly 80 posts on this game?

80 points on what game? Are we playing something that I'm not aware of? Or perhaps too stupid to figure out?

[ToFlyy]
