Straight BINGO pays $555.00!!!

Bingo's very popular around here. I passed a bingo hall the other night and the parking lot was JAMMED. Must be the recession. Nicely done.

hehe...good job, Guy 5's

You've captured the essence and flavor of the dabber game that attracts many ladies, and some men, and especially oldsters, very well...I, however, hate the game..more attracted to slots, more than I should be, 'cause it really is a rip off, too...very good work.

There're a lottery-sons to go to Bingo instead of slots, scratch-off games, etc. But I confess I never win at any of them, either. : (

This was a great idea, and well-played to boot! (sorry, couldn't resist.)

Lovely bit o' writing on this one... I was in Australia once and I THOUGHT they asked me if I wanted to go to a bingo parlor, and the next thing I know I'm in a conference room with a pack of wild dogs!

Mark - Recently I was playing a scratch off bingo lottery ticket and made the X. The game had four cards. Making an X gets you the grand prize on card number 4, Mine was on card number one which paid $100.00. I wish it was $555.00. Thanks!

Metaphorsbwithu - Obe-won-at-bingo - He's Kenobe's cousin. And yeah, the Bingo parlors are jam packed around here as well. Thanks Force.

Ms, Pat - Thanks for the giggles.

Farce - I usually about break even at slots, except the time I was in Tucson, Az wasting time on a Native American Reservation near the airport engaged playing slots in their casino. I had time to kill before my flight departed. I was winning like mad and had to quit or miss my flight. I just made my flight. But I know if I had more time I would have probably given it all back to the one armed coin muncher. Thanks, Farce.

Hey Fiddlegirl - I have four 5's you can have until you get paid. I hate it when the money runs out before the month does. It can make you feel so broke that you can't even pay attention. Spend a buck before lottery drawing tonight on the Texas Two Step - Billboard on expressway coming home tonight from work advertized around $885,000.00 jackpot. Thanks for commenting. I've come close to hitting it big several times. Back in the 90's I missed cash five by one number. I had the first four numbers and the last number was one off. I won around $485.00. There was one winning ticket and it paid out $109,000.00. At least I didn't have to pay any tax. This was back when Cash 5 had 39 numbers and the payoffs were larger. Thanks for commenting.

Rex - Gol-dingo, did ya get bit? And that's what you get for being named Rex. =;-) j/k But I just can't leave a good jab lie. I like your Dingo story. Thanks for weighing in.

hilarious concept that fit the plaintive tone of the original quite well...you put the "oh" into bingo here

Alvin - Unfortunately a bingo for my parody character looks like a strong contender to becoming a bingone, Thanks, buddy.

Great write Sir Guy, ~ the Mighty Marquis der Bingo ~ . . . very cute, however I don't recall any " nuns " attending the actual event ? ? ~Evening Vespers~ were the only entertainment allowed for the Good Sisters, Sir Guy!

M[lady Oh yeah - that's my bad and I should have known when I penned the parody Nuns'll Getcha - it does say very plainly in that parody that "They keep bingo records". It says nothing of them running a gamblin' house. But ya know, I bet that they do some number calling in some of the churches of the RC variety. Thanks for your kind commentary.
