Yesterday I was there for the last of the Bulls-biiiip- Bingo edition.But what is it?
First let me start with: you can also play this bingo game during meetings. To all my advancement friends in Pittsburgh, just imagine the possibilities for Divisional meetings ;-)
I met a friend in a bar, we were going to watch a trashy TV show named "confessions intimes". Imagine a Jerry Springer type of show where stories have an happy end. While wtaching, we had to fill out our bingo cards. In the table boxes were written such words or expressions as "i love tuning" "I want to leave him" "the room was filled with sorry" "woman crying" "macho guy" "trashy outfit" "doll collection" and so on...
Thoses are items that come back every so often in any given episode. Every time you notice something written on your card you mark it done and when you have full line you scream BINGO! (duh!)
So now, go in a meeting with card were you have the words "synergy", "strategic", "budget", "hiring", "someone snizzing", "someone snoozing", "someone doodling", "it's complicated", "it's too political"... and have fun!

I understand now...
Actually (and your American readers will correct me if necessary) it's importer from the US.
We used to play it with friends during Bush's speeches, except that it was a drinking game:
We drank a certain number of times everytime he said "nucular" or "evil" or "freedom" or bullshit like that..
i did the drinking game for the Oscars the year of return of the king... one drink per Oscar... hips!
Bingo is funny because you want people to say certain things? you feel they will say it and... tehy disapoint you... Lots of suspence!
