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'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)
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.
