Is it just a thing around here?
Everyone is OBSESSED, like RETARDED over bag-o. They basically stand on two sides, marked by a ramp with a hole in it, and throw bags at it desperately trying to get one in the hole. Everyone in the entire city plays it 24/7, all the stoner kids, all the old people, all the little kids, I am the ONLY PERSON who is not crazy over this archaic game, jesus
Is America truly getting dumber each second MTV is on the air or something? Seriously.
What are you talking about?
Yeah... don't know what Bag-o is.
Yeah okay, that is really good.
Okay so, diagram. \<---a couple yards--->/
Those two ramps have a hole in them. You stand at one end with a bunch of beanbags of one color and throw them into the ramp. The other person does the same.
Why do people play this until the early hours of the morning, I ask you?
Dude, Bag-o's a lifestyle. You have to know the right alleys to walk down at night to get in on the underground action. Wouldn't believe how many paychecks I've blown because of misdirected beanbags.
Why do people throw wooden or metal balls around a yard trying to see who gets closest to the little ball and maybe bumping the opponent's balls out of the way? Why do they try to hit a spike from several yards away with a horsehoe? Why do they try to snag a fence post with a rope that's weighted on either end? Why play Jarts (which were better when they had real points at the end, not the dumb rocking weights)? Why do people like to chase a little golf ball all over the golf course, trying to hit it into a few-inch wide cup from 300 yards away?
Because it's just fun, you can hang out with friends and give each other a hard time when you totally flub up, and get a little physical exercise to boot. Bag-o doesn't look like it'll float my boat, mainly because I suck at anything remotely related to basketball. I mean, I can kick someone's butt in taekwondo, but I can't hit a trashcan with a wad of paper from 3 feet away sometimes. But hey, if others have a good time tossing a beanbag into a hole, great.
They were playing that at 4th of July in Indiana, 'cept they called it Bags. And they made it really white trash by puting sticks with tin cans glued to the top of them in the ground and used them for holding their beers. As usual, my mom sucked, and I did okay.
I much prefer the all american past time of kushlash to bag-o.
KUSHLASH KUSHLASH KUSHLASH!
My family plays bocce. Well my mom's side...
Mom's side
-bocce(outdoor game with balls and stuff. It's dumb)
-concentration (a long ass card game that's annoying and I'm apparently good at.)
Dad's Side
-Farkle (Shake 5 dice, the first to 10000 wins.)
I've never seen that. Here in SoCal it's pool/Soccer/cards or die.
I've heard that all the hardcore kids are playing Fizzball these days. Eric knows what I'm talking about.
As long as you are good and warmed up and certain that you won't hyperextend yourself. Embarrassing enough having to explain that to the doctor one time.
Which part of yourself are you talking about?
Whichever part you want, hon. And it's good to see confirmation in print that Sam is the pitcher. We all had our sneaking suspicions though...

But I'm nowhere near as bad as Michael Jackson.
And for some reason, this board reminded me of the following image:
