Democratic Vice President hopeful Tim Walz found himself in the middle of a barrage of criticism after it was revealed he allegedly inflated his score during a game of bag toss at a family barbeque in 1998.
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’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.
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)
“Bag toss” lol
Satire site doesn’t wanna say cornhole?
Fake midwesterners!
“bag toss” also sounds kind of dirty to me
Hah, kinda.
Growing up in the midwest, we always called it “bean bag toss.” I remember someone calling it “bean bag golf.” shrug

Lol, fair. Didn’t click through to read it.

Needless to say, I was terribly disappointed.
Disappointed because lack of butt stuff, or because cornhole is a really boring game?
I’d believe either.
Lol… Or both :)
My wife calls it ‘bags’. Hung my head low the day I found out.

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.
Saying pop vs soda can get you killed in some places. This ain’t shit.
to be fair, unless you’re using corn cobs it ain’t really cornhole
