What does cornhole mean?
Here in the US northwest, “cornhole” is what they call bean bags or the tossing game itself. Now, for me at least, there’s a bit of contention here, because that’s not the only definition.I’m originally from Pennsylvania, where the term “cornhole” most definitely does not have anything to do with bean bags. I’m assuming they call it that because the bags are filled with corn kernels instead of beans, but then why not just name it “corn bags”? Or, just call it “bean bags”. It’s not as if most bean bags are filled with actual beans. I’ve checked. The hard way.Now, why do I crack up a little, causing puzzled expressions all around every time someone mentions this game?Here are a few of the more colorful excerpts from urbandictionary.com:I ate a can of corn, waited a day and put my cornhole over the toilet and corn and cornlogs came out.i want to corn hole britney spearsAfter I cornhole you, you won't shit right for a week.After being in prison for three years I can say with complete honesty that my corn hole has seen better days.My buddies from Delhi a I get together on the weekends to drink beer and play Corn Hole.Okay, that last one was about the bag game, but you can see the confusion here.So when my work proudly announced the company picnic would be featuring an “Outdoor Cornhole Tournament!” I did a literal spit-take with my water. The mental images…And they kept. Sending. Emails.For weeks.“Hey, everyone! We hope you’re ready to get your cornhole on this Saturday!”
Where can I buy the stuff used to fill cornhole bags?
Well, I don't live in Canton, OH, so I can't really tell you much. I was thinking, though, it might be a good idea to fill them with unpopped popcorn--y'know, the stuff you can find in those clear plastic bags that you have to flavor yourself and all. If not that, you can try finding the stuffing beads like those in beanbags at places like Hobby Lobby, or at various craft shops and such, probably. Well, if you're looking for regulation cornhole bags, I didn't find the whole kernel corn you needed, but here's a link to Amazon. It's a set of 8 regulation bags--I guess you could use those or take the filling out of them, lol. http://www.amazon.com/Set-Regulation-Cornhole-Bags-BestCornBags/dp/B0026JSGRC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1279791191&sr=1-3 Link to the store front: http://www.amazon.com/shops/bestcornbags

What is the history of "Cornhole?" (The game)
The game described in Heyliger de Windt's 1883 patent for "Parlor Quoits" displays most of the features of the modern game of "cornhole", but with a square hole instead of a round one.Quoits is a game similar to horseshoes, played by throwing steel discs at a metal spike.De Windt's patent followed several earlier "parlor quoits" patents that sought to recreate quoit game-play in an indoor environment. He was the first to use bean-bags and a slanted board with a hole as the target. He sold the rights to the game to a Massachusetts toy manufacturer that marketed a version of the game under the name "Faba Baga".Unlike the modern game, which has one hole and one size of bags, a "Faba Baga" board had two different-sized holes, worth different point values, and provided each player with one extra-large bag per round, which scored double points.The modern cornhole game, known more commonly as bean bags or just bags in the Chicago area was likely spread after an article on how to make the boards was published in Popular Mechanics magazine in September 1974.The game spread in Chicago, Illinois, and the Northwest region of Indiana in the late 1970s and early 1980s.The west side of Cincinnati, Ohio, specifically Harrison, Ohio has been one of the main areas of modern resurgence and renewed popularity of the game. It is popular at tailgate events throughout the Midwest and has recently become a nationwide favorite, with national championships covered on ESPN.Source: Wiki
