(07:07:27 PM) emily: i don't know but it makes me think of beavis and butthead
(07:07:28 PM) kevin: ergh
(07:07:31 PM) kevin: The game is simple. Players toss colored bean bags toward a tilted board with a 6" diameter hole in the surface. A bag in the hole scores! There are many variations on the basic game, but the equipment is the same.
(07:08:04 PM) yam: it makes me lol
(07:08:24 PM) yam: somebody emailed to the neighborhood list
(07:08:32 PM) yam: and was like does anybody have a cornhole board?

(07:10:20 PM) yam: but is it like a homphobic kind of term or what
(07:10:30 PM) yam: er +o
(07:10:39 PM) emily: if it's popular in iowa i'd guess it has its origins in actual corn
(07:10:43 PM) kevin: hmm
(07:10:46 PM) yam: i want to respond to the list with something totally immature
(07:10:51 PM) yam: but i'm thinking twice about it now
(07:10:58 PM) emily: hahaha
(07:10:59 PM) kevin: maybe the game originally involved throwing corn into the hole
(07:10:59 PM) emily: yeah
(07:11:03 PM) yam: yea but when people use it to refer to anus
(07:11:05 PM) kevin: but now less people have a bunch of corn
(07:11:09 PM) emily: don't let your neighbors know that you're secretly 12
(07:11:19 PM) kevin: so they use beanbags
(07:11:32 PM) emily: i am pretty sure the "anus" usage came after the "actual corn" usage
(07:11:52 PM) emily: i cannot believe we are discussing corn vs. anuses
