Yeah, what a name for a beanbag game. One of my employees was in Ohio yesterday and saw this sign on the road and took the picture. On the way back to the airport to fly home he stopped in to see what they really did and learned it was a game. I guess we just need to get our minds out of the gutter .

Statement. I'm from Ohio and never heard of it. That's OK. I never heard of a lot of things.

Question. This is a real game and there are rules for it. WHY?

Question. This is a real game and there are rules for it. WHY?

You can ask that of all games.......and get the same answers.

Thank you, I just learned something today. There is a local store that advertises "cornhole bags sold here"; Now I know what they are selling. One learns all kinds of interesting stuff on MTJ!

Sheez, some of you guys need to crawl out of your bat cave more often!

[rogruth]

Well it's not my fauult my 82 years have been so protected.
I'll just need to get out more and look into the games that are played in the U.S.
I've never even heard of it on television. Do they have a world series of cornholing?

Sorry, but the more I see outside my cave the less I care to explore. Watched the news tonight and two big items were the latest stock IPO from LINE (Japan) and a story about Pokémon Go (whatever the hell that is). I guess they're internet communication programs and games that look like they have the maturity level of a 10 year old. Children's game programs for adults and now PM can help you sell your house or whatever. Showed all these 20 something's standing around in the city, at the beach, in a park and all playing games or whatever with their devices and no one communicating. Apparently there won't be much reason so come out of your bat cave in the future; you just stay in it and take it with you. I'm beginning to think I've lived too long.

Most likely part of the Gay Pride Olympics.

[rogruth]

Well that brings a different perspective to it.

I didn't have much interest in this sport to start with and have even less now.

[rogruth]

Gay Pride Olympics? Is NBC carrying that too?
