If you’ve never gone to Gay Bingo or the Third Friday Bingo at First Baptist Church, here is a tutorial to help you understand some of the “rules” used:
If you have a number called on your bingo board(s), a roudy “woohoo” is certainly called for. If you don’t, you may gently groan to yourself. Harassing the bingo diva may result in her declaring a Party Foul (see below).
If you are one number away from a bingo, you must wave your arms in a queenly fashion. A woohoo would be in order as well.
Our bingo divas tend to have a mild case of Tourette syndrome. Should they inexplicably blast out the following word, a crowd response is in order: • (Salt Lake City Mayor) Jackie Biskupski! “You’re All Fired” • (Former Subway spokesman) Jared! (It’s for the children) • Donald Trump is a great president! “Alternative Fact!”
Certain bingo numbers get reactions as well: • B1 — Am one! • B3 — Fly and be three! • B4 — And after … and during … and in between! • B9 — It’s not a tumor! (in your best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression) Etcetera… You’ll pick the rest up.
Party fouls. The following are party fouls and could result in you being forced to wear the “Wig of shame”: • Yelling bingo when you don’t really have one. • Forgetting to do the queen’s wave when you are down to one number. • Harassing the bingo diva (Fine line here. Harassing is expected. Lines, however, can be crossed. You have been warned.)
