I found this in the news, about a pre-prom event. And I quote:

"About 85 students attended, entering drawings for prom-related accessories, competing in a cornhole tournament and learning how not to behave on the big night. "


Naturally I was quite concerned. While I've never been cornholing before, I don't actually know what it is. I mean I had this feeling, but surely that can't be right.

So I looked it up. Hooray for Google.

The answer comes from our good friends at playcornhole.com. Allow me to quote sections in such a way that it turns into a huge sexual euphamism (emphasis mine):


"What is Cornhole?

It has been called many things, Corn Toss, Bean Bag, Bean Toss, Soft Horseshoes, Indiana Horseshoes, but to many of us born and raised in Kentucky and the southern part of Ohio, the game is passionately referred to as Cornhole.

It has been said that the game originated in Germany in the 14th century, and then was rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky over 100 years ago.

The truth is, who really knows, but the game is great fun for all ages and can be played anywhere!

Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole until a contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point.

Scoring can be swift and the lead may change hands several times in a match before the winner is decided.

The game is generally played tournament style with an individual or team being named the champion at the end of the tournament.

Why play Cornhole?

The biggest reasons to play Cornhole is that Cornhole can be played anywhere and everyone can play Cornhole.

If you can aim and toss a corn bag 30 feet, you can master the game of Cornhole - It's great for family outings.
Cornhole can be played anywhere - driveways, parks, backyard, campgrounds, beaches and even in-doors.

Safe for everyone - no metal objects. Corn bags are made of extra soft material.

No muss; no fuss. Two cornhole platforms and 8 corn bags and you’re ready to play the game.

Very portable. Can be taken anywhere. Fits in most car trunks and there are fold-down models that are even more portable.

Cornhole is the game for everyone!

It’s great fun for the whole family. "
