Nice boards Derrick! I'm sure the troops will enjoy those!

Got a quick question that has been bugging me for a while. Why do you say you sell "bean bags" in your signature when in fact they are corn bags? Thats a pet peeve of mine and I try to correct everyone that says its "the game with bean bags". NO! It's called CORNHOLE because you throw a bag of corn (or resin for my ACO buddies ) in a freakin' hole!

[derricksmash]

true.

but in chicago, it's called "bags"...and not cornhole. that'd piss you off so much. and to the aco guys who use resin - the game is called cornhole, not resinhole =)
anyways, since ppl here in chicago call it bags, they call them beanbags...

so it's like cornhole:cornbag::bags:beanbags

We have said "lets throw some bags" in this part of the country too. It just seems like the only one I really dislike is the word "bean bags". LOL! We arent throwing a chair that you used to sit in when you was a kid.

Ha... around here a lot of people call it "sacks", which can lead to some very hilarious conversations after a few hours of playing and several adult beverages

Somehow "resinhole" takes me to a whole new level of uncomfortable. Cornhole was bad enough. LOL

so, were those chairs you sat in as a kid were ACTUALLY full of beans?

i know right!?

what's bothering me is this resin stuff. and the aco bags are double-sided and crap to.

You want us to call it plastic bags instead of resin? LOL! If you ever get the chance to throw some ACO bags, try it! Especially in a tournament. If you're playing someone that can't air mail (swish) a bag, throw the sticky side and block the hole. There is a lot more strategy involved with the ACO bags.

Derrick the boards look awesome and as someone who has several family members over seas and more on the way there I think it is really cool that you are doing these to be sent over!

As a side note to the naming of this game I have a funny story for you. I had never heard of cornhole before I lived in Michigan for a few years and one day while watching Michigan v Ohio State game the guy who house we were at that I just met comes up to me at half time and says "hey you wanna go out back and play Cornhole?" Being from the south were that has a different meaning I imediatly said NO and he smiled and went out back with a few of the guests and I eventually went out with everyone else to see them throwing bags at these very nice homemade boards. I started talking to him again and he said are you sure you don't want to play and I said this is what you ment and I told him if he every got down to the south and wanted to play maybe he should call it bag toss.
