absent minded brand manager

you gotta love nabisco. they've not only filled my life with such goodies as cheese nips, nilla wafers, everyone's favorite oreos (although i must admit that the news that they're going to make an oblong oreo now is simply ludicrous), ritz crackers and triscuits, they also provided the stellar game of pong i posted the other day. since i found that through a portal site, i hadn't really gone to their official site, nabiscoworld.com until i quit a game of pong tonight.

so they have other games. a couple baseball items that bring to the table the skill level of the sliding feature from roger clemens baseball for the super nintendo circa 1992. nothing near the quality of that game of pong. i love me a good game of table tennis.

i'm actually laughing too hard to play another game featured; simply called cornhole.

do you think the idiot that blue-lighted the title to that game is completely oblivious that he has now linked his long-standing, wholesome brand to a great slang for the butthole? or do you think that he, himself understands the joke and is just biding his time until he gets fired and collects unemployment?

You can even opt to manipulate the cornhole with a mouse thrust - and the music is vaguely porn-raunch.
I LOVE IT! The game sucks ass though (another coincidence?)

You're going to have to send me an email - I'm not posting my address out here where any ol' idiot can read it (and I'm sure your line of blogging attracts a wealth of idiots.)

You know my earthlink address? Use that.

Um, you need to get out more.

Cornhole is a summer game very popular in Ohio, Kentucky, and other midwestern states. Apparently, according to wikipedia, the game originated in Cincinnati. The majority of west siders have cornhole sets in their garage.

It is enjoyed mostly on summer nights with a beer in one hand - preferably a Hudy Light.

So don't rip on the brand manager. He's just sharing a long-standing Cinci tradition with the rest of the world.

(and yes, we almost bought a Corn Hole set)

So, being that Eric is a midwesterner now, I guess he likes to enjoy a beer and some cornhole on warm summer nights. I wonder if his wife and kids know about this...
