seriously. and you swear you're not a contrarian. Washers? you show up on my site, in the midst of a lengthy post about touring and music, you see a tiny point about a game that we played for half an hour one day, and you come at me with washers, the ugly step-cousin of horseshoes. And that gets you so worked up that have a "death match" on your own blog?
Alex, if you focused this kind of angst and energy on your songwriting, you could quit your day job.
OK, fine, i'll bite. Washers is probably better because British people probably came up with it, got tired of it, and then took it to america, where it morphed into a much better, more successful game, now entitled cornhole.
The closest I've come to "cornhole" is almost buying "The Cornballer" at a Goodwill. Ouch!
As for washers, definitely a Texas game. Easy to set up and learn. Moderate difficulty to master. Begs for extreme rules like "no eyes" and furthering the distance between the boxes until you have to hurl the washer with all your might.
Washers, if only for the memories of LLYC near Kerrville.

two be fair, I did say that they were both neat and rednecky.
and I suppose, "Contrarian" is what it took to get the great ross king to finally comment on my blog:) (it takes one to know one)
that being said, it was not I that countered with "washers" when confronted with "cornhole"...but *gasp* another friend from Texas.
