american cornball

Saturday Anne and Linds are having a party.

A cornhole party.

Sounds slightly pornographic, but hardly as fun. It's a glorified shuffleboard with bean bags and beer.

What is most entertaining about this "sport" is seeing grown-up, well-educated people losing their minds over their lack of hand-eye coordination. I think I might take some video. To tell you how serious this is, last time in June, the party was just a BBQ with some cornhole involved. This weekend, the Evite said; "There will be less food, more booze... we will be outside for the most part, so dress accordingly."

First of all, that's barely possible. I think there were more handles of booze last time than guys in Nantucket Reds.

Second, I am not sure how well we'll be playing cornhole at 7pm IN.THE.DARK.

I guess thats why we have to "dress accordingly."

first of all, we've played cornhole at 3 am more than once so it's def possible ... we have motion sensor lights AND party lights. AND tiki torches. (so there?) and when i say "we've played" i mean they've played and i've spectated. seems to be much more enjoyable to participate in the related binge drinking which i'm quite good at rather that the afore mentioned lack of hand-eye. i'm the worst ... but it's the best and i look forward to sharing my new found love of the spectation (or spectacle?) of cornhole with sarah emily. thus endeth the lesson.
