BEER BINGO MONDAYS.
Last night I worked a rare Monday night and got to really take in the phenomenon they call BEER BINGO. Now I've worked BEER BINGO Mondays in past but this was the first time that I actually got to sit down and take it all in without any involvement. Here's what I gleaned from it:
1) There are a lot of people that will do practically anything for free beer. Folks will try and cheat in a bingo game; hog all of the bingo cards to increase their chances of winning; I even witnessed some girls trying to "bribe" the Beer Bingo Guru into calling their number. One girl even whipped pennies at the number caller because he wasn't calling her numbers fast enough.
2) Beer Bingo brings out a lot of girls. Throughout the night you saw small groups of girls chatting about while playing bingo. You even saw a few girls playing solo which was interesting. Of course, where there are a lot of girls, eventually the guys will come and naturally they swoop in and try to take advantage of the situation. Then nature takes its course from there.
3) There's always that one buffoon who has to be the heckler. What's up with that? Yelling out numbers or making snide comments while the number caller is drawing numbers does not make you look cool. It makes you look like an idiot.
4) Speaking of buffoons, some folks take this game WAY too seriously. Like the one person who yells "BINGO" only to find that they actually didn't have "BINGO". They begin protesting like their civil rights got taken away or something. Buddy, you missed a number. It's no big deal.
Overall, the night went well and I can see why folks get into this thing we call BEER BINGO. It doesn't cost you a dime to play; it's something different from your usual bar routine and any time you have an opportunity to win free beer.... why not?
Just realized something: TRAINING CAMPS OPEN IN A WEEK! That means the NFL season is right around the corner. Time to get ready for fantasy football and BREW CREW SUNDAYS! Can't wait!

It's not always heckling...there is a Bingo sub-culture and almost every number has a "retort".
For instance, when the caller says, "N-44", the men in the audience say "Big Girl" then the ladies say "Big Deal".
"I-16" everyone together, "...and never been kissed!"
Ya get it...
I get the bingo sub-culture thing and that part is cool and funny. But you'll get that one idiot who will just shout out any random thing with the quest to be funny and it ends up being annoying after about the fifth time.
Ya dig?
And with football season comes DolfansNYC!!! :)
OMG, can't wait!!!
