Subject: BS: Wanna' Cornhole?
Okay.....So how many of you other preeverts figured this as a sexual reference? ..............uh,yeah..........

This is "Cornhole."

Now I'm 58 years old, grew up in the great unwashed midwest, have always been a student of history and folklore, but I swear to you that until a few months ago I had NEVER heard the word cornhole applied in any way except for anal sex! So imagine my surprise to see an ad in a local weekly paper about a "Two-Man Cornhole Tournament." I mean I knew that we'd become a lot more open in our sexual mores and morals but what the fuck?

Connie and Wayne had both not only heard of it but had often played. Now when I played the game it was just another beanbag toss game and I honestly don't remember anyone referring to it as "cornhole." Matter of fact, that word was common slang of my Dad's generation, at least in the strongly ethnic Italian-American community where I grew up.

And as things often go, after I read that I ran across all kinds of references to the game from all kinds of people all over the place. Seems like everyone but me knew it as Cornhole and many even had a game set in their garage.

So help me out here and let me know if there are different names for other games that I should be aware of so as not to be surprised as happened with Cornhole. I mean, like, uh.....Is there some simple kid's game called Tittyfuck or something I should know about?
