I am not making this up! Go ahead! Google it if you don’t believe me! Its the American Cornhole Association! They’re in Ohio, Iowa’s evil twin.
Its like a bean bag kind of game, or so they claim.
But who to Pit? I mean, I just figure this goes into the Pit for potential crudity. But what do you pit? Their entirely incredible brain-dead naivite? No, no way, no chance that nobody snickered out loud when they first read out the name. So, what is it, post-modernist irony from Ohio?
What gets into peoples minds when they pull crap like this! Its just a friggin’ bean-bag, except with corn instead of beans, its “bean bag”, why go to the trouble to name something corn-hole unless you are being smutty?
The opposite example, I suppose, would be when Green Bay dropped the word “Fudge” from thier football team’s name, in an effort to be more mainstream. (What, you didn’t know? Oh, yeah, the Packers, gayest team in football till the Cowboys came along. Well, I mean, you know, Wisconsin…
cackle You’re pitting an Ohio firm and somehow get a full dig in on the Packers(13 titles, baby!)? Man, the bitterness of VikingFan is getting worse every year they stay at zero titles. Neener, neener!
I was gonna call you some kinda fuckin asshole …but I figured you might take it the wrong way
new song huh…I’m a member of the ACA…the American…corn-hole ass-ocia-tion
bullshit lucy…where the hell do you come up with this shit
I not only talked him into letting me try it on (after granting him permission to give my wife a kiss, which I have a pic of), I also got a pic of his ring displayed prominantly with my arm around his shoulder.
And the highlight? He comes into his bar every weekend and just signs away autographs to anyone whom’ll ask. Mine is on the Emroidered helmet on my leather Packer’s jacket.
Shit, I pasted before the full page loaded. The pic in the link isn’t me. Unless my wife was a 12 y/o boy at the time. (It was a really wild weekend, though. So who knows?)
Hrrrm, further perusal of their site doesn’t reveal if the much sought-after American Cornhole Association is endorsing Bush or Kerry. I can certainly see strong arguments/slogans to be made each way:
Thanks for that contribution, Brutus. Because goodness knows, there aren’t enough acrimonious political threads out there already. It’s lucky that you managed to provide some sorely-needed political acrimony in what otherwise would have remained an enjoyable little Pit thread about a silly game and a vulgar word. :rolleyes:
I come from Price Hill, the Cincinnati neighborhood that bears most of the responsibility for popularizing this travesty.
It produces more cops and firefighters per acre than any other ‘hood in the town. Tough, upstanding, high-school football lovin’ conservative types.
You don’t know how amusing it is to hear a police officer who probably used to 'pants you in junior high talking about cornholing at the family 4th of July barbecue.
