Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

There's a game now called "Cornhole"?????

Does no one know what that means, in standard American slang?

Wow.

I know. The first time I saw "Cornhole Championships" promoed on TV I was "WTH?"

Wow.

Heck, they even have Cornhole tournaments on ESPN. (And yes, I've known the definition for several decades before I'd ever heard of the game. )

I'll stick with "bean bag toss," thank you very much.

It's like when a guy at work (a younger guy, prone to enthusiasms and to telling all of us about them, endlessly) started rabbiting on about how "I've been juicing" and "now that I'm juicing" and "Juicing is so great" until I had to point out to him that for us older guys "juicing" means intravenously injecting heroin...

A phrase which also sounds dirty with basically zero effort.

"How was your date this weekend?"

"Great! I found out she's really into the ol' 'bean bag toss,' if y'know what I mean!"

Texas is full of cornholers.

Texas is full of cornholers.

...and people who play "bean bag toss."

As a wannabe bodybuilder throughout my 20s & 30s, 'juicing' had yet another meaning. (Steroids.)

Seen a lot of guys really get big really fast but thankfully I stayed the 'natural' course...never touched the stuff. Never got as big and muscular as I'd wanted to be but decades later my liver and kidneys thank me.

Wow we need a cheerleader to get the price of gas down! Ha!

Texas is full of cornholers.

And they stand to win big if they are good at it.

Google...
The ACL (American Cornhole League) paid out $250,000 to pros like Henderson last season, and the total payout this season could reach $1 million. Top players make up to $60,000, including payouts from local events.

Anyway...this certainly deserves a little GIF

That wouldn't be related to tea in any way, would it?

It irritates me (probably more than it should!) that, aside from my siblings, nobody I know seems to remember "Tobor the 8th Man."

Quick call Tobor, the mightiest robot in (on?) the laaaand!
