Well, then, maybe, if that "playcornhole" catches on, corn-holing will make it to the Olympics, too. Snowboarding did. Is cow-tipping next?

[Big Jim]

Do they have a world series of cornholing?

As a matter of fact they do have nationwide tournaments.

Don't know, but, I saw on the silver screen some guy named Mater was into tipping tractors.

There are rules for that also.

Good ol' Wayne. You have the nicest way of adding information and detail to any discussion. Cool! Fun.

And here I thought I was making that up! Thanks to Big Jim, I now know I'm not alone in my brand of lunacy.

I live in northeast Ohio. There are cornhole leagues at bars, church festivals and company picnics. There are also Bocci leagues, Caber tossing and cardboard boat races.

We also have a myriad of ethnic festivals including Dingus Day (Polish), St. Patrick's Day, Chinese New Years, Eastern Orthodox Christmas, Oktoberfest, Parade the Circle (an artist's parade) and Rib Burnoffs.

I'm almost afraid to ask what "caber tossing" is, but I think I have an idea , having gone to college in Ohio . Does it have to do with frisbee-type objects drying out in the sun?

Murph,
I'm not sure of your heritage but if you were a Scotsman you would know about cabers.

There are rules for tossing telephone poles (cabers) also.
Reference: http://www.nasgaweb.com/rules.asp Scroll down to "Tossing the Caber."

Edit 1: Correct typo, change "caper" to "caber" two places.

Wayne,
I'm pretty sure that it is caber toss.
Strangely enough highland games are held every year in Savannah.
The heritage of the population in this area is quite diverse.

Thank you Roger. A caper would be stealing the cabers.

[rogruth]

Wayne,

Yes that would be a caber caper that could lead to a Johnny Carson- Jack Webb caper.

Did you notice that those participating in the Heavy Throw events must consent to
being tested for drug use? Those Scotsmen and women are serious about their caber capers.
