I just saw this on yahoo.com and laughed, but it isn't what you think. Funny title, though. ;)

Did they have to name the game that?

There was a game like that in the 70's. It came with bean bags and a tic-tac-toe unit with x's and o's on little axles. They would spin when the bean bag went through. It was like 3 feet on each side. Seems similar to me.

I am a card-carrying member of the Cornhole Association. As a professional cornholer, I can provide all your lube needs.

My college also had these flyers on the dining hall tables:

I drove though Oxford, OH once. Hot chicks everywhere. I made the detour specifically to drive through a college town.

Oh yes. Hot chicks grow on trees around here.

The Phi Mu tree typically does not yield palatable fruit.

Damn I hate the University of Miami. Too many people from my high school go there...

University of Miami or Miami University? Two entirely different schools.

Kinda like "Playing Cornhole" and "Cornholing" are completely different? ;)

U of Miami is a school in Miami, Florida. Miami U is a school in Oxford, Ohio. :P No lube required for either.

It's a pretty nice school, but I can understand why you don't like it. Lots of self-important rich snob kids running around.

Yes, that's pretty much it. It's like my high school, and then they go to Miami University for the exact same, except no parental supervision. Wonderful.

It's fun being the poor kid though. "Why no, I can't afford a BMW."

Please. Get off your high horse about the nobility of poverty. I find it ironic that the people who typically espouse this b.s. about "rich kids" are the same people who consider themselves "open-minded". Open minded, but you can wave your hand and group your fellow students by income level and then stereotype that entire group with a caricature that you derive from Molly Ringwald movies and "Revenge of the Nerds".

My parents worked hard to provide for me, and I have every intention of busting my ass to provide an even better life for my children. Meanwhile, you can pass on your tradition of resentment so your kids can give my kids the stinkeye for the same silly reasons.

Adam is the ultimate rich snob. Technically I suppose, if you're rich, you get to be a snob, that's part of the deal. But people could at least admit it.

Besides, he didn't say "rich people are snobs." He said there were a lot of "rich snobs." That's two different qualifiers, not one thing qualifying the other.

Yeah, you took a long leap onto the jump to conclusions mat. There's nothing noble about being poor. I would much rather be rich. However, I believe I would be rich and a decent person, not rich and an ass like many of the people here.

My comment about it being fun to be poor was sarcasm. It doesn't come across well on the internet.

Adam simply wants to keep the money he's earned and not be reamed by a society which thinks he's bad because he's rich. He has ever justification to be a "snob". Society insists on placing an invented burden on him to support society.

Too bad Adam simply is complacent and just pays his taxes (and insists others do too).

I've never viewed Adam as much of a snob really... there's nothing wrong with wanting to either keep more of the money you earn or at least get something out of it. His own garbage man perhaps.

I don't think you can shit in your own shower and be a snob. They are mutually exclusive.

Maybe not, Trainwreck....but you can certainly shit in someone ELSE'S shower and be a snob. [rimshot]
