"Bag toss" lol

Satire site doesn't wanna say cornhole?

However, the governor will not be apologizing for calling it ‘bags’ instead of ‘cornhole.’”

[–] ech@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

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.

[–] doctortran@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Disappointed because lack of butt stuff, or because cornhole is a really boring game?

I'd believe either.

[–] Poot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lol... Or both :)

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

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

Fake midwesterners!

Now I finally understand the "both sides are the same" folks

And Harris still chose him! They are trying to cover up #cornholegate

I'm a Republican that does their Own Research and this article PROVES Tim Walz is a HORRIBLE Person and only TRUMP who had an affair while his Wife was Pregnant is Fit to Lead the Country!

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's it! I'm voting Trump. Where do I register as a Dutch citizen?

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

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I know a lot of yous don't read past the headline, so rest assured he had a good reason. His cousins were starving, so he inflated his score to end the game sooner and put the snags on the barbie. Everyone in the family forgave him when he put on a bloody ripper apron that was painted to make him look like he was budgie smuggling.

Bags by itself sounds weird, but beanbags doesn't bother me.
