Hey there- I need a little help- I bought my husband one of those wooden bean bag toss games and my friend Kay is going to help me paint it tonight- I would like to do a Buffett theme on it- maybe words like License to Chill written on it or something fun- I'm pressed for time and running out of ideas- the bean bags are cool- half of them are parrot material and the other half are margarita material- but now I need to come up with something fun for the boards- See you all at Alpine July 10th- we'll be the crazy family in LIME Green shirts- Phins Up

what kind of game is it? Guess I'm not familiar with what you're looking for, but I'd be happy to offer suggestions. :D

It's two of those wooden bean bag games that sit on the ground- they have holes in them and you throw the bean bag into it- they are pretty plain looking and need a little help- I'm not a good artist by any means but thought it would be fun just to paint words or phrases all over them-
Maybe It's 5:00 Somewhere- or License to Chill- I just need some more suggestions- thank you-

maybe you could paint a blender on one so that when you toss in a bag, it looks like you're tossing ice into the blender. Maybe paint a big, open shark's mouth around the hole on the other?

The name of this game is called "Cornhole". This is pretty popular in
Cincinnati, OH. Its a fun game and would be a good time when tail gating.

You could paint the caribbean and throw the bags into holes shaped like different islands.

They actually have official rules, tournaments and everything...very similar to horseshoes.

I've been playing it known as bean bags for years....last fall I met some cincy folk at a football game...asked me if I was up for some "corn hole" I did a double take....put my hands over my tush and was about to run, when I saw them take the boards out of their van.........Oh...that's what corn hole is in OH......freaked me out for a minute......
