So, here's the deal. There's this game here in the Midwest called Corn Hole, if you know how to play you are an automatic member of the "in" crowd. If you're GOOD at it you automatically become royalty! I am somewhere between court jester and having relations with the prince. In other words I'm not terrible but I'm by no means a master!
How do you play, you ask. Well, it's actually quite simple. You have two roughly three by one and a half foot boards each with a five inch in diameter hole at the top. The boards have a stand that puts them at a small incline from the ground up to the hole. The boards are placed at about thirty feet from each other. Two teams battle it out to see who can get to 21 points first. You gain points by tossing bean bags . . . Each team member on her/his turn tosses four . . . Landing on the board gains you one point, landing in the hole gains you three. If you both score points you cancel each other out and only add points if one team has more.
Yes, it is a glorified bean bag toss! BUT, let me warn you--they take this game VERY seriously here in Ohio! Don't ever be caught mocking Corn Hole or you will surely have an angry mob of Ohioans chasing you down, pelting you with bean bags!
Actually in all seriousness, it really makes for a fun Saturday night!
