ErikW Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 http://www.playcornhole.org to many of us born and raised in Kentucky and the southern part of Ohio, the game is passionately referred to as Cornhole. It has been said that the game originated in Germany in the 14th century, and then was rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky over 100 years ago. The truth is, who really knows, but the game is great fun for all ages and can be played anywhere! Ohio and Kentucky, huh? AikiDale? Anderson? Flexmoney?

Steve Anderson Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I've never played cornhole, thank you very much. I still consider myself a TEXAN, born in Dallas, and just temporarily misplaced. I have heard tales of cornholing on the local talk radio... SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detlef Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 those are probably the exact same words uttered by the cornhole practitioners when they follow a link to uspsa.org.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I had no clue. That hat is priceless: But, the fact that they sell "Beverage Koolies" is a plus, because... "Everyone needs a cold beverage while playing Cornhole." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Erik sez he gets this stuff sent to him from 'friends'. I prefer to think he either makes it up himself or dredges it up from deeply obscure and unmentionable places on the 'Net. I hope he has a good spyware and adware program running......

AikiDale Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Thinking it was a hoax or a damp yankee thing I Googled it: http://www.cincypost.com/2003/08/16/ohcornhole081603.html Figures it comes from the Queen City. And a guy from San Francisco brings it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 This wasn't sent to me by my evil minions. I think I found it from the same web site that was featuring Fluids for Christ. I would really like to see people wearing that hat at matches, with their Maku Mozo t-shirts. OMG! The Urban Dictionary lists this as the #1 definition: A backyard game played in the Cincinnati area. A cross between beanbags, horseshoes, and Jarts. Highly entertaining, low impact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 "Fluids for Christ" indeed... Did you actually READ all of that...???!!!! Criminy, I think I'm on the wrong damn' planet!!!! Arrrrrrgggghhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Ok Last year a group of pretty Cincinnati ladies at a party came in the house and asked me to come play Cornhole with them. I know what it means but none of them were transvestite ex-cons. I went out in the yard expecting to get some Penthouse Forum letter material and we then proceeded to throw small bags of corn into a box with a hole in it. Sort of like stupid horseshoes. Kind of funny to play drunk and actually a good game as the females and kids can play too. Horseshoes are kind of heavy. Now you weight lifting woman please don't yell at me I mean in general.

ErikW Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 SIGlady, FFC is a hoax. Unfortunately, the game of cornhole is not. Some peope do a good job blurring the line between absurd reality and imagined sarcasm. Here's one for you, the day after the biotech conference and protests in San Francisco... http://www.progressivesagainstprogress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDean Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Erik,Where do you find this stuff? I'll second that!! Who would put the words CORN and HOLE into a search engine? I now ponder the origins of "corn-hole". Where did this start? Who? When? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 If I got the hat, and then had it embroydered (sp?) with "The Great Cornholio" that would be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 The word cornhole may have come from outhouses. Before toilet paper, before the Sears-Roebuck catalog, there were corn cobs. Little known fact: when I would play network Marathon or other 1st person shooter games, I was known as Cornholio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
