Cornhole.: Fresh from the battleground state that swept the nation, comes a new game that is spreading like wildfire through a prairie. Throw the bag in the cornhole! Official rules at the American Cornhole Association.

My friends from Jersey always bring out a game called quates (not sure of the spelling) at gatherings. It is similar to horseshoes. I've come to the conclusion that any throwing game you can play with a beer, is alright with me.

Most of my friends back in the Midwest are more likely to play the game of washers, which serves equally well as something marginally athletic to do while you're pounding down Buds (or whatever). It sure beats the crap out of having your buddy lodge a Jart in your temple.

Cornholio! WC2k2 -- are you threatening me? I have to tell you this story now. I worked at a school for teenagers with behavioral disorders for a couple of years. One of my charges was a young man who lived a slightly backward lifestyle (slept in an old chicken house, came in wearing the same clothes five days in a row). The only way we could get him to concentrate for more than two minutes was to promise him "Cornholio time," which consisted of him running around outside with his t-shirt over his head, kicking mailboxes and trees and screaming, "I am CORNHOLIO!!!" I tell you, the looks from the cars passing by ... priceless.

It sure beats the crap out of having your buddy lodge a Jart in your temple. We have a local game called Nails that's almost as good (bad?) as full-contact Jarts. You play it with a stump, a bunch of ten-penny nails, a large claw hammer, and beer, and without getting into too much detail, it involves tossing the hammer into the air and catching it, on the handle only, with the same hand. The behind-the-back, under-the-leg, and overhead tosses score extra and thus provide more incentive for drunk people to endanger themselves (and other drunk people, and bystanders and furniture that are too close). Oh, and you always play it while wearing Tevas or barefoot. It's pretty good for blunt trauma and the occasional puncture wound.

I love playing cornhole when I go to Bengal's games. Its great fun and brings people together during tailgating. It also gets a lot more fun and challenging proportional to the amount of alcohol you have imbibed.

I sentence you to 10 years in a federal pound-me-in- the-ass prison.

"Cornhole" is my word of the week.
