Perhaps You've Time for a Quick Game of Cornhole?

Apparently, a popular game played around Lexington, KY is called “cornhole.” It’s called that, I’m told, because it involves a small bag of corn that the players try to throw into a hole. All fine and good. But if you knew that the name of your new game was already taken by anatomical slang, wouldn’t you try to find a new name for it? If I wanted to name my new game "Captain Brownstar" or “Hot Carl,” I’d hope someone would warn me.

While I understand that it's fun to spell stuff phonetically on signage, and it certainly demonstrates good marketing sense, one should take care not to use intentional misspellings that are easy to confuse with sexual connotative words.

Also, um . . . , what are “Raw Fries,” and why would I want to pay for those?
