Cornhole?

This past weekend, we had a little get-together, and decided to hold a Cornhole tournament. You're probably wondering what the hell Cornhole is? Is it some sort of side dish? Nah. Does it involve some form of sex? No way, dude.

Cornhole is a game involving bean bags and boxes. Here is the definition, courtesy of Wikipedia: Cornhole is a lawn game in which players take turns pitching cornhole bags—cotton duck bags filled with feed corn—at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. These platforms are usually made with plywood or occasionally plastic, and are often decorated. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a player reaches the score of 21.

The twist - we played this on the Nintendo Wii ... and folks, it was a blast. It's pretty easy for anyone to learn, and all the family can play. Beer and alcohol makes it better (as it does with just about anything). Of course, even though I hosted the tournament, I finished a disappointing third. Oh well, maybe next year if this becomes some kind of tradition.

By the way, why Cornhole? Was the name "Scrotum Toss" already taken?

Never played the Nintendo version, but I have gotten hammered on beer and played it at a party. It was surprisingly fun.
