Just When Time Was Running Out

Only last week, Hick was bemoaning the current status of his Tuesday night bingo experience. 

"It seems like they ain't got no good prizes, and we never win nothin' anyway."

"Yeah, and you get home earlier every week! Maybe you guys should switch back to Wednesday night bingo."

"We've talked about it. But it's the kind of crowd they let in. And it's really crowded."

I'm guessing by the crowd, Hick means they are a younger group, as you might expect to frequent a sports bar, and not the elderlies who appear to make up the sparser crowd at the Tuesday night location.

Anyhoo... Hick might give Tuesday night bingo another chance for a while. Seeing as how he WON A 'PRICE' there this week!


Hick sent me a text when it happened. Only two words: I WON. He proudly carried it through the door, still in the box, at 7:25. The earliest he's come home yet! At least with Wednesday night bingo, I didn't enjoy his company again until 8:45.

I don't know where Hick is going to hang his 'price,' but I promise it won't suffer the fate of a certain leg lamp special award...

    1. I think it has more meaning for Hick. Maybe he'll hang it in his Storage Unit Store 2, and sell if it anybody wants it.

  2. Well, it is a win, a price. Do you have a closet in which to hang it? Maybe take it apart and glue a picture over the words.

    1. Yes, at least it's a win! Giving hope for future wins. We have plenty of closets where it could hang, but I doubt Hick would agree to those locations. He's so proud of it!

  3. That's a decent prize and something he can't eat on the way home too.

    1. It's Hick's best win from bar bingo yet. There was the CHANCE to win hockey tickets, that came with the little foam wraparound beer cooler. Then the stuffed guitar doorstop. Maybe a cash prize is in Hick's future...

    1. So proud! We don't have a clock in the bedroom, except for Hick's clock radio.
