burger at bingo in a booth!

"Say what? You ate a hamburger tonight???"
 
I did!
It was the day's special, and it sounded so good that I took a chance.
And it was good, too!!!
Wagyu beef, topped with chili and pickled jalapenos - wow!!!
That was some kind of tasty, let me tell ya.
Sandy had one, too, but she usually gets burgers.
She opted to skip the jalapenos, but those served as a tasty counterpoint to the chili, so I'm glad I choose to the burger as listed.
 
"I really can't believe you ate a burger at a burger joint."
 
In truth, Midtown Sports Grill is more than that.
They have spaghetti specials and other stuff, too.
In fact, their pork chops are pretty good.
 
"I'll take your word for that, dearie. So, who all was there for Music Bingo?"
 
It was our usual trio, plus Elissa this time, and in our usual booth!
That's three booths away from the Bingo Jockey's table, just in case you're curious or plan to drop in some time.
That "90's Mix #3" was our first game and I was just one away from a win!
The second game was "60's & 70's Mix #1", and all I needed was Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" for a win there.
Then, for the 4th game, "Michael Jackson Mix', I was just one off from getting the $50 gift card!!!
All I needed was "Remember The Time".
Sounds appropriate, like it might be a joke, doesn't it?
 
"Yes, it does! A joke from the Universe for your birthday while you were out with friends, singing and dancing in your seats!"
 
Hahahaha!
Yes, that just may be right.
My blue-sky Penny texted me with a bunch of photos of flowers, so I got to share those with the others and tell them about her horticulturist husband.
This Gallardia Spintop, complete with bees, was our favorite!
Guess what the color is?
Mariachi Red!!!
That reminded me of one of my favorite "Will Trent" episodes.
Titled "Mariachi Shelly's Frankenstein", it was crammed full of puns inspired by two things: the Mariachi band trapped at the police station during a blackout and the book report that Ormwood had been helping his kid write about the 1818 book.
"We have to be strong and MARIACHI on."
"Jesus, MARIACHI, and Joseph!"
 
"Hahahaha!!! Oh, yes, I loved that one! Very serious moments, but interspersed with moments of puns as three of the guys struggled to get a generator up the stairs. I wish I could remember more of them, as they were delightful!"
 
That's for real!
And here's a bit of fun that was starting just as I got home.
"The Quiz With Balls" was having a swimsuit edition, with lifeguards taking on a bunch of beauty queens.
Those guys may be a bit young for a purple panther like me, but I can still enjoy the view!
 
"Incredible!!! What great fun! And how did the lifeguards fare?"
 
That guy in the middle, wearing the glasses?
That's Reigh, who had a delicious sense of humor and good smarts.
He graduated with a mechanical engineering degree!!!
He was the last man standing and he made it to the third question in his bid against the Golden Balls for the $100,000.
He chose "Famous Scientists", getting right the first two.
The third question was "Which one was an oarsman at Oxford?"
I give him credit for knowing it had to be an Englishman...
but he was too young to have ever thought of Stephen Hawking as being capable of such a thing.
Into the water he went!
 
"Ah, yes, the misconception that a disabled person was always so."
 
Indeed.
Still, it certainly was a nice dessert after my dinner with the girls!
(smile!)
