Crash -
I am guessing that you must be far younger than me am since the descriptor of that game meant something totally different "way back when".
Based on its ancient meaning, I would never, ever play such a game! Drink, for sure but I think I'll just watch you young folks play "that" game. Or perhaps the "game" is not really suitable for public viewing....Can I take a peek?

Your post is very funny to me because the first time I heard of the game was when we where camping and our neighbor campers came over to our sight and asked hey would you like to play corn hole
My DW later that day told me the look on my face was totally priceless
But to answer the OP question yes we do have a corn hole set and like you the game is always better with a adult beverage.

Festus you can relax!!! They are bean bags fill with corn that you throw at a piece of plywood with a hole cut into for the bags to fall through. Kind of like horse shoes if you will. It's a piece of plywood usual about a 2x4 sheet and it as a frame to make it set at a 30 degree angle to the ground. And yes I am old enough to know what you were thinking.

Oh! Now I get it! Bean Bag Toss..... a great game of skill requiring a high level of hand-eye co-ordination and accuracy. I've even played it but was found lacking in both. We called them bean bags since they were filled with dried beans not corn. Somehow "Bean Bag Toss" sounds a bit more ........ socially acceptable. Sorry, we don't carry the corn/bean filled bags nor the plywood target. The only corn and beans we carry are the edible kind.

Half the fun of "Corn Toss" (for the more sensitive among us) is making the boards. I'm trying to decide on the theme for my next set, it's been 2 years since I made my Boston Bruins boards and they got a bit warped when I left them out in the weather last year.

This year, try making a Montreal Canadians' board. It will be less prone to warpage but, because they are such fast skaters, they are not easy targets to hit so you might not score as high as with your Boston board. A bit more challenging for you but far more exciting to play as Montreal is not easily scored upon (this year so far).

too funny, but yeah the group plays it...but I watch cause I am terrible at it. The difference is what is in the bag now. Corn filled bags and the object is to put them in the hole ...thus "corn hole" (at first I cracked up at the name). Bean bags were filled with beans and we threw them on flat ground marked up.
The other thing they play is left, right, center and the balls game. I think it could be called ladders too, but you have a cord on two balls and throw them on a device that has 3 rungs to score.

azlee -
Somehow I just knew that you couldn't resist contributing to this thread . I am almost afraid to ask ........ just what is the name of that game with the rope, the balls and the rung?
Good grief and here I thought that this was familiy-oriented forum!
crash -
Should I be consulting with the other moderators as to where this thread could possibly be heading? I'm sure you had good intentions..........Where did you go wrong?

HA Festus, no fear kids play this game too. I went and checked and I was close, it is called ladder toss. See here on this link and you will see the balls with a string or bungy cord in the picture.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_toss
I have a halo on ........ really I do.
ps. if you read the different names for this game you will know that I am really behaving.
hahahaha

it isn't so easy to play either. We have had to get the balls out of trees and everything. This one guy, an extrucker, had his measuring pole and we used that to get them out of trees.
(get your mind out of the gutter now)

We play Washoes... similar to the beanbag game, but using large washers instead.
No rope between our game boards (as the link below shows)... we sure don't want anyone to trip & fall - especially those who drink adult beverages.
http://www.vu.union.edu/~brownm2/downloads/washoes.html
Yooohooo Festus... how's THAT for changing the subject? I think this thread is still family friendly... at least none of our long-time members mentioned olive oil.

KanTC ---- thanks for trying to change the topic and get this thread back on track. It really has deteriorated and my once innocent mind is quickly being corrupted by reading about all these games you folks play. Yikes!!
And trust azlee to provide a Wikipedia link which offered some very interesting and provocative names for Ladder Toss. Poor Man's Golf being one of the more non-descript titles. I'll say no more about the alternate names for this activity.
So, to summarize "Games People Play" here on the forum we have:
1) Corn Hole aka Bean Bag Toss aka Hillbilly Golf
2) Washoes aka Red Neck Horseshoes
3) Ladder Toss aka Poor Man's Golf, aka a lot of other unmentionable titles.
4) Farkle aka ????? I don't want to know what goes on at the picnic table
5) Drink Up --- the only sensible thing I've heard all day!
Mmmmm, all of this talk about games is stressing me out. When is it all going to end? Time for a beverage - one of those adult types. I'm off to the fridge and then going to play Solitaire.
