Around here I’ve heard it called “(ethnic) horseshoes”

My local Buffalo Wild Wings is advertising a “Cornhole Tournament”.

I didn’t know it was a game, and all kinds of weird scenes kept forming in my poor addled brain.

I once asked a small town pharmacist if they carried “Cornholer’s Lotion?” (meant Corn_husker’s_ of course). I thought he was gonna bust a gut.

That is all. 🙂

Thanks

If you play, you should [wear this shirt](http://www.donkeyts.com/design/259+Cornhole+Tee).

We play it up here in Cleveland but it’s not nearly as ubiquitous as it is in the Cincy area. I had a party last weekend with about 20 people in attendance, and I had to explain the game to 2 people (there may have been more that needed explaining).

It must have missed central Ohio. I lived there for 30 years and have never heard of this.

Do you need TP for your nail holes? (I’m sooooo going to hell for THAT one!)  
Seriously, I have played that game, but it was always “bean bags”.
