I just spent 3+ hrs playing Bingo, and I have to say it is hilarious how insane people get about winning that silly game. - kelly Oct 17, 19:24 36

        Yup. Cray. Zee. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 19:44
        
        Is that the company that the factory is actually shaped like a basket? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 17, 19:36 8

        Oh hell no. But I'm thinking about putting them all up on ebay. All of mine have the leather handless and are the traditional weave. -- nm - Trish Oct 17, 20:16

      - The dreams involve 50 Bingo cards that are 100x100 and three number-callers yelling simultaneously and non-stop. -- nm - stressed nubby Oct 17, 19:35 2
        
        And you're naked, right? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 17, 19:48 1
        
        Well, that's not terribly unusual. -- nm - nubby Oct 17, 19:48

        It was hilarious. But yeah, a "special" kind of fun. -- nm - nubby Oct 17, 19:45 3
        
        And we were all so naive... walking in, expecting it to be slow and lame... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 17, 19:46 2
        
        I mean, it's Bingo. It just *Bingo*. -- nm - nubby Oct 17, 19:49 1
        
        Being late was our downfall. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 19:52
