They name it -- embarrassingly enough -- "Cornhole."  And say ridiculous straight-boy-isms when someone makes a point.  "You got cornholed!" etc.

When asked, they said this game came from the mid-west.  Is that true????

LOL Yep it is a midwest game, it's funny my dad wanted to make a set for my college bound son and wasn't sure of the exact dimensions for the boards and asked if I would check on line for him. (he refuses to get a computer)  I  went on line trying to get the official size, needless to say I have never seen so many buttholes in my life until I found an actual cornhole game website.  

I learned to play Cribbage from my grandfather, which I love.  I've met very few people who know how to play anymore -- most older than me. 

But corn-holing?  Well, I learned that all on my own, thank you.

 Growing up we played penny/nickle/dime poker, but the boys loved playing Texas Holdem

I play Texas Holdem every summer with my friends. It's usually onle a few bucks, but it's always a lot of fun.

Nobody ever says that to me. I must be doing something wrong.

Here's a great quote for the day, but it didn't belong in the politics thread:

"I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me. I said to her, 'You have a drink on you? You have a car?' She said, 'Daddy, it's me -- Tatum!' I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter. It's so sick."

"So, did you fuck her?"

"Oh, of COURSE..."

but I've been wondering: Tom posted few pictures of his
and his husband's trip to San Francisco -- including a
shirtless shot.

Been wondering ... Tom, or anybody else, who's got a
beach bod ... how do you handle excess body hair? I'm
turning 50 next year and my gift to myself is to be in
better shape than I was at 30 -- going for a six pack
even!

Another reason for the decision to get fit-looking is
that my best bud is getting married in Barbados next year
and I'm her best man (bridesman's?) and I wouldn't put it
past her to make it a bathing suit ceremony.

Won't be able to see a six pack through my normal
folliage. Can't bring myself to do like that fool in the
40 Year Old Virgin and get my chest hair ripped out by
the roots. Using a shaving razor sounds extreme. Forget
electrolysis; that'll cost more than my gym membership
for the year.

I've been looking at depilatory products, the kind of
stuff chicks use for bikini lines. I would have to use a
gallon of that gunk and who the hell knows what'll do to
my chest?

Suggestions? "

I personally use regular shaving gel and a razor to shave my beastly chest. I tried the product called Nair a few times and, though it ultimately worked, it leaves you with the sensation that your chest is on fire.  And boy, does it ever stink too. Oh yeah, make sure you don't get any on your nipples, as it'll burn them.  One last thing, if your hair is quite long, those products don't work as well and you may find yourself having to shave some chunks of hair here and there with a regular shaver after you're all done.
