US Takes Lead In High-End Cornhole Technology
Tea Baggers take note: When it comes to American Exceptionalism, the Corn Bag is King. And now it rules by day…and night.
This week, mankind’s age-old dream of cornholing 24/7 became reality, thanks to the ingenuity and persistence of an Ohio entrepreneur who refused to roll over, even in the face of punishing unemployment and a crushing global Recession.
At 500 bucks a pop, Mike Deal’s stunning DayGlo pitcher’s platform may seem like a geeky extravagance, but advance reviews suggest that—for anyone who grew up searching for diversion among the whispering cobs—it’s the most entertaining thing to come out of a cornfield since the ghost of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. As a flatlander myself, I’m convinced by the picture alone that Cosmic Cornhole will be to Traditional Cornhole what Avatar was to snooze alarms—a pointlessly expensive, vaguely disappointing, yet somehow transformative paridigm-shift. And what Star-Spangled Patriot Heart doesn’t beat faster at the thought of a product that splits the atom of Rust-Belt Boredom by combining “the fun of cornhole with the magic of black light”?
Truly, the American Dream is alive and well, and glowing eerily somewhere in the Midwestern darkness. Put that in your Ushanka hat and smoke it, Comrade Putin.
