*wharrgarble* right after a little wake and bake...then I'll whip us up some biscuits and gravy.

I love this thread, too much fun!

How about a game of this?



And then some of this:



And rounding out the night by the campfire?

[pawpaw]

Wharf Rat, you strike me as being somewhat of a Dead historian...I picture this bbq going like the summertime Dead parties at Olompali in the late 60s. Without them as the house band though, I'm putting this one on the ghetto blaster now for you:



Also, I set up this zip line in that forest over there...



So, that should be pretty cool.  ;D Now where'd Crispy go with that herb...

[BH]

I made the mistake of going back out into the rest of the forum.  I think i will just camp here at the park until the confusion goes away.  It's really starting to hurt my head.   Or maybe it's the bottle of Maker's from last night?   Oh well, hair of the dog, right?   Crispy, pass me some biscuits so I can get something in my stomach first.  Those look sooo good.

*dips left over pork rib in this morning's gravy*

Good mornin' BH, coffee's ready.

I've got a question for you guys...I've seen pictures and heard mention of cornhole, and what looks like different variations here at the bbq so far. Now, I was introduced to a game called washoes from a dude who grew up in the midwest (awesome game with beverages) that was basically pitching washers at a large wooden box with holes...is that like cornhole? What are some of the other variations I've seen here, and how are they different? Or are they?

Also, we need to buy some new kegs for the day...what do you guys want to drink?

[wharf rat]

Ahh yes, bbill, Rancho Olompali!  Can you imagine the scene at those parties?  
MMJ will do just fine as the houseband, eh?

Yeah, where's Owsley when we need him  :o

And if we can't get MMJ to play today, the park we're in (shown on my first post) is Dolores Park in San Francisco...these guys have a studio nearby in the Mission District, are available today, and are willing to play for barbequed pork.

The Mother Hips...

I think the inception of cornhole came about in Cincinnati?  It is essentially what you are describing, with just a few minor differences.  Cornhole boards are slightly angled, and instead of washers, players are pitching bean bags (except instead of beans, they're filled with dry, hard corn).
I think the czechvar should remain.  That's a great tasting crisp lager for a warm, sunny day.  Might I nominate some Full Sail Pale Ale as a second keg?

:D :D

Have you read "Garcia, An American Life" by Blair Jackson?  Man, between the Acid Tests and Rancho Olompali and the pure LSD driving it all, those guys must have been living in their own universe for that decade!

This is the style we play here in Missourah...



4 players.  2-Two player teams.  Your partner stands at the opposite end (20 steps away or so).  I throw and then then my opponent on my side throws.  (We play whoever scored last round, goes last on the next round.)   One point in the box and three points in the can.   Points cancel out.   In other words, if we both put two in the box, nobody scores.  If I put two in the box and my opponent puts one in the box, I get one point.  If I put three in the box and my opponent gets one in the can, he gets three and I get zero.   Play to 15 or 21.  Losers rotate out.   NEXT!

There is also this style which is fun, but I am less familiar with the rules.

[BH]

One more thing, I prefer the boxes with the coffee can instead of the PVC, because there is an UNMISTAKEABLE sound of a washer going in the can that turns heads all across the park like nothing else.  ;D

The style we have down here in the Oklahoma region (and Kansas where a bunch of my buddies are from) is like your last pic, but a square, angled board with only one hole, and covered in classic astroturf. I don't have a pic of my set but I'll work on it.
