      I’m a gay northerner who moved to Georgia many years ago. When one of my co-workers said he was going to go play cornhole with his buddies, I asked if I could come too.

      Needless to say, I was terribly disappointed.

        I was 35 before I heard it called anything but bags. I only found out it’s called cornhole (because I guess the bags used to be filled with corn?) because I was at a bar, and it was on. On ESPN. That’s also the day I learned ESPN will show just about anything that can be classified as a sport or game when there aren’t major sports events going on.

        I laughed for a solid several minutes about it. (Thankfully I was not by myself or I’d have looked like a nutter)

      It’s addressed in the article but the game has several regional names. Cornhole is one of them.

        We all just called it “beanbag toss” when I was a kid, but now people from the area have switched to calling it cornhole.

      Growing up in the midwest, we always called it “bean bag toss.” I remember someone calling it “bean bag golf.” shrug

      I just assumed some global megacorp had finally managed to get “Cornhole” through the trademark office and started suing everyone into oblivion. Must be time for an internet break to rebalance the pessimism.

    I saw the headline, and I automatically assumed that this was an actual “scandal” that Fox News was cooking up.

    It took me way too many bites of this onion to realize what I was eating. Well done.

    Conservatism has become identical to parodies of conservatism.

    Tim Walz inflated the score of the other team because they weren’t doing so well.

    Next you’re gonna tell me the fish he caught on a fishing trip in '99 was slightly smaller than he described. Outrageous.

    I can see it now. Years into the future, a weird Republican coalition in Congress: “But his bag toss!” “Where’s Tim’s real score?”

    As the country burns.

    The Onion is fake news! It wasn’t Walter Mondale who did the photo op in the tank. It was Michael Dukakis. FAKE NEWS

    Don’t give them ideas, HT…

    His brother already shared that his “big story” was no one wanted to sit next to Tim on road trips as a child because he used to get car sick.
