Accusations of cheating lead to insurrections. I’m just sayin’.

I can only imagine the kind of cheating that must go on at the Cornhole Championships.

As if I did not love England so much already, now I learn today of yet another charming tradition. If this was in the US, all contestants would be required to wear goggles and protective gear.

Shhhh ... don’t let the libtards know there is life-long learning going on here at FR. After over 25 years, I know I’ve earned the equivalent of several masters degrees in completely useful information.
