EDITED Title: Weirdest (Goofy, Creepy, Puerile?) game name EVER!
Edited on Sat Sep-17-05 09:43 PM by JanMichael
CORNHOLING! It's a game for the whole family!

Here's a story about it!

"Where the game originated is somewhat unknown, some say the game was first played in Germany in the 14th century and then rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky (sort of creepy) over a 100 years ago according to the American Cornhole Association."

EDIT: Posted this over 18 months ago because Shakeydave and I though it was so goddamned funny that we had to share it here. However it flopped then like I image it'll flop now. I guess I have a sophomoric sense of humor?

3. I live about 50 miles north of Cincinnati
They have been advertising Cornhole for a while. I think they were going to do the festival this weekend. Rick Derringer was doing a free concert after the festivities.

6. It's kind of like a guy named 'Dick'
It feels wrong saying it because of the lower connotation.

The board game was my favorite when I was a kid.

9. I guess if you have your needs taken care of
life can be like a game. But for many people in the world there is no playing around.

11. Probably about 5%
I also help people directly. I do what I can. Currently I'm looking into anti-smoking campaigns. Before that it was the Democratic campaign. Before that it was dragging my own ass out of the gutter.

I don't make a whole lot of money, either. Most of my money goes right back out the door as checks stuffed in envelops.

13. I wasn't judging you
But now I will.

To say that life is a game is incredibly naive. People that say that life is a game have never lived a hard day in their lives. People who say that life is a game have never had their lives threatened. People who say that life is a game have never been seriously ill. People who think that life is a game have never felt real pain. Kid. I'd like to see you tell someone who is struggling for their life to relax- It's just a game.
