how do you “corn hole” something?? What does “to corn hole” mean??? I fucking LOVE “the corn hole” as a noun for this place. I actually wouldn’t mind seeing that every time from here on out. ---

Other boards, April Fools is harmless pranks and droll riddles. Dopers want to talk buggery. We are the people our parents warned us to avoid. ---

This year’s theme made me laugh. I love the ‘Corn Hole’ name and think it should be permanent. I am just worried that it will attract lots of people from the middle of the country who want to talk about their favorite game. That reminds me of the time I sat next to a woman who kept talking about her favorite restaurant in some God Forsaken place called “The Shrimper”. I was holding it in tighter than Beavis and Butthead during roll call on that one. ---

I made a comment re: an episode of “the Middle” where they were playing “cornhole”. I thought it was a dirty reference. Turns out, it was a local thing that folks did every day. Go fig. Ignorance fought. Although, I still think of it as a dirty reference. I’d rather play cornhole than “be” cornholed. ---
