Last night I was introduced to the phenomenon of BINGO.
And let me tell you, people are serious about their BINGO.
Colorful dabbers (and dabber holders for that matter) line the many rows of tables. Fancy glue sticks quickly assemble multiple cards together to keep them from sliding...some would play with as many as 20 different cards!
As soon as the first ball rolls in and the announcer reads "B9" into the microphone the room is silent except for the "tap tap tap" of colorful dabbers scanning all the cards and, hopefully, dabbing away! Trolls and other lucky trinkets assemble around their hopeful (and serious) BINGO players.
It was hysterical and I loved it! The suspense of tacking off numbers and getting SO close. The challenge of the different shapes "Lucky 7", "bow tie", and of course, blackout!
Didn't win anything, but decided that it is pretty fantastic. And I just might have to try my luck again and emerge with a triumphant "BINGO"!!
