What do Barry Manilow, DMX, Cheap Trick, The Alan Parsons Project, and Phil Collins have in common?
No, seriously, I'd like to know how those five entities wound up on my "Bar Favourites Mix #12" card at Music Bingo tonight.
Perhaps this is some kind of British joke, right, as the only unifying factor is that they were all American artists.
Regardless of why they were on my card, let me just say this: THANK YOU!!!
This was the last game of the night, which is usually a "blackout" game that nets the winner a $50 gift card to Midway Sports Grill.
That's what I thought we were playing, too, until I pointed out "my first bingo" and Elissa said, "You've won! Get up and let him know!"
So I did and she was right!!!
Holy mixed bag of songs, Batman!!!
Wow... I have FIFTY DOLLARS for MSG... wow!!!
I almost didn't come because I thought they might already be leaving.
The meeting of Two Firsts Post had run until 7:30, so I didn't arrive until 8.
Monday had clocked in with a high in the low 80's, as forecast last Friday, so the weather was perfect for sandals and shorts.
This would be my first time at Music Bingo this year, due to issues with weather (me) or Jewish holidays (them) or American Legion meetings (me).
How wonderful to see Marcia and Sandy and Elissa again!!!
How wonderful to sing along with my friends to so many songs!!!
And how wonderful that the Bingo DJ had technical issues that delayed the games for almost 40 minutes, allowing me to arrive while the first one was still in progress... wow.
Is it a palindrome?
No, because 245146 is not what the reverse reads.
Is it a poker straight, perchance?
Nope, 'tis not, as those numbers only yield a pair of 4's.
Then what's my deal-i-o with this mileage???
I like the way it sounds when I say it: two four five, one four six.
It's a nice mixture, just like those five artists on my bingo card.
(smile!)
