Bingo Brawl

Well, Matt and I spend yesterday together since we both had the day off. After shopping for a few hours (and I didn't buy anything!!!) Matt and I sat down and tried to figure what to do for the evening. I didn't want to sit at home, there weren't any movies we wanted to see, no bands we wanted to hear, and it was too early to start drinking. (well, not really too early...its never too early but we wanted to wait til it was dark out). We thought about the casino, but then Matt mentioned BINGO. Well alright sir, but I'm not sure you're gonna enjoy the white trash as much as Jean and I...I mean didn't you spend the day shopping at Express and Banana Republic? Not exactly BINGO style.

Well we get there are find out its "birthday night". Birthday night???Jean did you know about this? Apparently if you have a birthday in that month you get a free bingo card, a dauber, a balloon, and a CUPCAKE!!!! Yes, that's right a free cupcake. Well, rest assured the freaks came out for birthday night.

When we were in line to buy our cards, some crazy woman was talking to Matt about this garbage bag of stuffed animals that she got for her birthday and how much she "just loves them". Well about 1/2 hour later this woman was heard screaming from the smoking room "fuck that I gave you my money!!!" as she was dragged from the room by security guards. Wow! Excitement at Hillcrest BINGO!

But, the near brawl happened during the end of the evening. Let me give you a bit of a background first: There was a group of 4 young women sitting behind Matt and I. There were pretty trashy. One girl was wearing a pink addidas tracksuit with a pink Nike hat. BREATHE RYAN...it'll be ok. Another girl was pretty fat...and I know fat. But she was wearing a tight cami without a bra and couldn't really fit between the chairs when she was walking. Please put more clothes on Ma'am. Anyway, matt and I overheard them talking at one point and this is how it went. (please imagine a thick Fargo-esque accent)
"Oh yah? That must be a pretty big town."
"Yah. Ya know they got that big Super Wal-Mart out there now"
"Yah. That is a pretty big town out there"

If only Matt and I knew which town they were talking about, we could check out the super wal-mart. (What's up with that wal-mart anyway Jean?) So one of these women nearly started a brawl during the last game of the night: the all important $1000 coverall game (which Matt was only 2 numbers away from winning). Near the beginning of the game, one of these women's cellphone/walkie-talkie things goes beebeep. and then some guy and talking. beebeep then she starts talking beebeep more of the guy. At this point the old folks start getting restless. Coughing, grumbling. Beebeep. "Hey turn that thing off!" more talking beebeep. Now the old man near me turns around and yells, "turn that damn thing off! don't you know you're not supposed to use that here?" beebeep "I don't fucking care! I'm talking to my husband!" Beebeep
This goes on for about 3-5 minutes, which in BINGO time is a long time. Finally the white trash conversation is over, but the old people are pissed. They're tattling. "She was using her phone!"

Matt and I decided to leave before the canes and walkers were thrown over our heads at the white trash girls. It was gonna get ugly.
