Queslington Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I can't believe many of you people never heard of cornhole. I guess it really is just an Ohio thing, we play it all the time over here. It's sort of like horseshoes (kind of). Awesome boards, btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyLeefan2112 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 This will tell you how popular cornhole is in Ohio. I live in central ohio. There's a strip mall my boyfriend and I often go to as there's a lot of good places to eat around there. We also pass by this house, that has like 8 different custom cornhole boards out in front of it. And the sign is like "get your custom cornhole boards here!". Last time I passed by there was one with a skull, one with the Jagermeister logo on it, one with Captain Morgan on it... mmm those are all the ones I remember. As you can probably tell, drunk people like playing cornhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can probably tell, drunk people like playing cornhole. Yup, people just love to show off their artistic abilities by making these boards. I see them sold at fairs all the time and like you said, in front of people's houses. I think it's pretty cool and fun to play. My neighbors play it ALL the time (and coincidentally they always have a beer in their hand) To reiterate, I'm pretty sure it's an Ohio/Kentucky thing. Because you know, we're rednecks and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on what part of Ohio you're from. You can instantly tell whether someone is from North Ohio vs. South Ohio. I get lots of "Oh, you must be from Michigan?". "Nope, Cleveland born."

Btw, a lot of you have DIRTY minds! Not at all. I live in NY, and many people here know what cornhole is. I play it with friends and family all the time over summer during cookouts. @OP: Really cool! I'd love to play with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 My wife's family in Iowa plays this. They call it bean bag toss though. If someone asked "wanna play cornhole?" I would be running the other way. Cornhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) So, after looking up what cornhole (heehee) the game actually is it turns out I do know what it is. Like Storm Shadow said, we call it the bean bag toss to. Which is what i've known it by for many years. Those are commonly played at picnics and at carnivals around here. It's not an obssesion with people playing it everywhere and selling all kinds of boards for it but it's usually a spring/summer time activity people do. It's funny but the name bean bag can also have a dirty meaning to. So, no matter what you call it you're still using a word with a dirty meaning to describe the game Edited May 14, 2012 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Cornhole? Really? Do you all have games called "red rocket" and "reach-around" too? I've been to Ohio, Columbus and even saw Rush there. Great people and great Rush cornhole boards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animate Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Well, we are not lacking in rednecks here in Texas, but I never heard of anything like this. We prefer livestock to wooden planks. HOWEVER, If I were driving down the road and saw those for sell in someones front yard, regardless of what they are supposed to be used for, I would most certainly slam on my brakes, back up, and buy me a set!

tripdad Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Some very funny posts! I had no idea this thread would spin off in this direction. Honestly though I never knew the term cornhole had that meaning. Which is good I didnt know that! Ha Anyway, the game is also on the Nintendo Wii...it's called Pro Bags on that system. I don't know the origin of the game, but I always figured it was called cornhole because the bags are filled with corn versus beans or plastic pellets and you throw the bag into a hole! I found another picture of a RUSH cornhole set...Vapor Trails theme. This dude hand painted his. http://www.cornholegameplayers.com/forum/v....php?f=14&t=312 Maybe I should bring my set to RushCon...we can have a mini tournament!

1 of the 7 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'd never heard of it until I met my boyfriend's family (who are from this area, but a bit more rural). Haven't played yet...if I find any games going on at any of the Rush shows, I'll have to get in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
