chicken shit bingo at ginny's little longhorn saloon
the boys helped fill the chickens with yummy treats of lettuce and such, preparing for their contribution to the show.
a small party in the parking lot. Dale Watson played at 4PM. we drank $2 lonestars outside in the heat.
ginny sells soda and buckets of ice to keep everybody cool outside, they had a/c inside.
(big it up and see the droplets of mist and bigger smiles) they had a pop-up tent fitted with misters that was appreciated.
ginny ready to go out into the texas heat and sun, and get a chicken.
chicken in arms and time for bingo.
each square on the board has a number. now we just wait till the chicken drops one on the lucky square.
you really need to BIG this pic to see all the characters.
it was PACKED in there. I was inside when they made the call to buy a square for the bingo, but they sold out long before the line moved, and I was pretty far back in line. 16 was the lucky number for this round.
the obligatory Townes Van Zandt reference. You won't find a singer/songwriter within a hundred miles that won't drop that name when talking about their influences. TVZ even influenced chicken shit bingo
#2 son was sad that it was so packed he couldn't even sneak a peak inside.
afterword: I know some people would have figured it polite to scramble up the "bad word". I can't see any real reason for that.
example, I often notice changing one letter in a "bad word" such as "chicken s#it bingo" or "chicken sh!t bingo" maybe they feel that is acceptable and it's not really shit.... or I love it when somebody spells out such a "bad word" as in, "that guy just said the S word, you know S, H, I, T."
c'mon... those four letters arrive in the brain as individuals, but they get assembled and your brain hears "shit" all the same. sure, the lips did not form the word and the ears did not actually hear shit, but it's shit all the same. the idea that a mouth remained clean and ears were not dirtied up by the shit is just plain silly. I'm not sure what that word did to become a "bad word" where "crap" is not so bad when they are interchangeable.
it's chicken shit bingo, no way around it. you can call it something else if you want, but it seems silly to me.
