Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"I gotta get home and practice tonight, I've got the cornhole tournament this weekend. When I was playing I would get at least three in so I gotta practice and make sure I'm ready." LIKE THERE IS SOME COMPETITIVE CORNHOLE LEAGUE AROUND HERE! OMG WHAT IS THIS WORLD! Y'all I gotta get out.

Anytime someone says "cornhole" to me (and they say it a surprising non-zero amount?) I say, "DO YOU MEAN BEANBAG TOSS?? I thought so." And then I maybe go on a rant about La Croix water. Because we have our own regional stuff here!

What's funny is that when I grew up in MO, it was always beanbag toss. But, when I moved back to the same area after a nearly two-decade absence, it was cornhole. Another big thing around here is washers (similar to horseshoes, but with, well, washers).

Ohio is cornhole central, and every time someone says it I think of Beavis and Butthead. #ninetiesproblems

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I never heard it called cornhole down here until a few years ago, but that sounds all country and real amurica so of course everyone who called it beanbag toss their whole lives in tx now calls it that. And this guy is country country also fake fake.

Reports of Trump assaulting women have started to come in.

Last day in my current office tomorrow. And current officemate isn't gonna be in. I'm gonna miss him & the sysadmin stuff I've learned. I think I'll go out tomorrow and buy him a bottle of booze and an Orioles shot glass and leave it in his desk. And maybe a RoFo gift card, cause I know he stops there for coffee in the mornings. We've been good officemates for 9 years!

Our wings are not tired.

That would be sweet, sarameg. No doubt he will appreciate the thought, and miss you too I am sure.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back from breaking the fast. Will go to bed soon.

That's a long space-sharing relationship -- parting gift is a lovely idea.
