"Some of the girls (age 50s-60s) are going at 4:00 to get us a table. The half-price food and drinks are from 4:30 to 5:30."
After all this time away from night-time bingo, what did Hick choose for his supper?
Is it just me, or does that look not very appetizing? It could be the color. As Hick texted:
"They got these stupid blue lights." Looks like an adult beverage helped him cope! Rest assured, Hick will not be ordering refill after refill on a soda, garnished with a full jar of cherries.
"Your nachos don't look all that good."
"They were actually pretty good."
"Inside of the bar."
"Doesn't look crowded."
"It's filling up alot of the same old people."
"Heh, heh, OLD people!"
"They are younger than me."
Pardon me for asking Hick later if it was some kind of dress-up night. Just judging from the hair on the "girls" at Hick's table. He said it was not. I asked why they looked like some of Miss Kitty's girls. He said they didn't. Sorry. I don't mean to hair-shame them, me of the lovely lady-mullet. It's just not hair that I'm used to seeing on my trips around town.
One of Hick's buddies won a "price."
"My buddy won a bottle of vine." I think what Hick meant was WINE. Said the guy was happy to win, and that he planned to give it to his daughter.
The grand prize was a TRAMPOLINE! It was won by the sister of one of the gals at Hick's table. She went to claim it, and they offered her $100 cash. She took it. I suppose a 50-something woman does not have much use for a trampoline, though Hick thinks it was worth more than that. He said he would have taken the trampoline! Yes. I know you're giggling at the thought of Hick bouncing on a trampoline, when in reality you know he would have sold it for at least a 50-cent profit!
A trampoline? As a prize, that is pretty lame. 50+ women have no use for one. It would be downright dangerous.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's not like young people are going to be out playing bingo, even in a bar. I think this bingo is linked to many states. I don't know who chooses their GRAND PRIZE every week. At least the one guy won some wine!
DeleteYes, I can't (or don't want to) see Hick on a trampoline. But I'm sure you're right: he would have taken it and made a nice profit on it.
ReplyDeleteHick is not a man who would turn down a trampoline, for sure.
DeleteThose blue lights make the food look awful. I would have taken the trampoline if I had a way of getting it home, then I'd offer it to the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteI know, I think the light would affect my sense of taste! A trampoline would be a great gift. I guess maybe the winner doesn't have grandkids, or they live too far to get it to them.
DeleteThose blue lights or my eyes made me not see anyone or a mullet. I would have taken the trampoline. I could sell it for more myself. It looks like fun, the bingo not the trampoline.
ReplyDeleteI agree that a trampoline would be worth more than $100. I imagine bingo is fun for Hick, being there with people he knows.
