Interesting. My guess is that the picture is Chinese, too. It describes exactly the outer dimensions of the box, the height from the floor to the top of the raised edge of the frame and the exact location of the hole.

It does not show how big the hole is, nor the width nor depth of the sidewalls so the angle of the playing field is also unknown.

That's like buying a car based on it having exactly 4 doors.

Demonstrators wearing at least a coat and tie, often a three piece suit.

Oh, wait. They probably all had jobs. That explains it!

It never ceases to amaze me how many different names one concept can grow into. "Cornhole Boards" Ie: A sometimes portable target variant of "Horse Shoes" LOL

I laughed out loud when I read that.

This is quite the car wash.



"(Neway Auto Wash Bowl in Chicago, 1924)
From what we've been able to determine about this old-fashioned type of car wash, a car was first motored around in the pool of water to flush any mud or dirt off of its undercarriage, and then the car was driven into a stall where the car wash was completed in the customary manner."


The EPA would have a heyday with this nowadays.
