The frats and sororities on campus like to play the beanbag game everyone played at elementary school carnivals. I always remember these being big plywood pumpkins or painted Christmas trees or something. And you try to throw a beanbag through the holes. It was fun when you were seven!
I wasn't aware this game had a name other than "beanbags". I was informed last year by two of my friends in Delta Tau Delta that this game is called "cornhole". Upon hearing this, I burst into laughter.
Cornhole? Really? Does nobody remember on Beavis and Butthead when Beavis would freak the hell out and transform into The Great Cornholio (if you don't

What I find most hilarious about this is that they take it SO SERIOUSLY. They have tournaments and everything. I guess the person who wins is the Cornhole Champion. When I see them having these tournaments in the spring, I'm always tempted to pull my shirt up over my head, raise my arms at 90 degree angles, and shout incoherently.
It's one of the stupidest things ever. Whenever I hear someone is playing cornhole, well... you don't want to know the mental image I get.
