    Default Bingo Training Center in Damascus

    L. Wolf has asked me to provide a photo of the sign outside our Bingo Training Center, and if the attachment works I may have done so. If the attachment doesn't work here's a link to the sign:

    Pirate has also asked me to announce that he will be instructing in the graduate school for the Bingo Training Center. The curriculum is not yet established but is being researched.

    It was a short lived obsession. One night just as I was about to fill the board, the sprinkler system freakishly turned on.......washing all of the white powder out of my hair. THe jig was up! You should have seen it! Me running.....little scooters in persuit....canes and walkers wizzing past my head. I think my bingo days are done for at least the next 40 years. Maybe I"ll take up Contra dancing.......

    OMG...AARP has taken over Damascus and poisoned the water supply with bran flakes and metamucil.

    God help us all if that damn elephant gets too regular.....

    Default A matter of perspective.....

    You think it was Erwin that got a bum wrap?

    How do you think the elephant felt about it?
