BSD - the early warning signs of Bingo Stress Disorder

In denial at Weird Bingo in Waukegan

Shock, disbelief, giddiness, depression -- all sure signs of BSD - Bingo Stress Disorder. More often than not, these reactions fade, are forgotten, and present little need for alarm.

When all these reactions are combined, though, "Happy Bingo Rage" ensues.

Do something useless, play Bingo on Wednesday night.

Bingo is NOT for sissys

I hate this game, but I can't stop lovin' it!!

Face it: Bingo is a rough and tumble sport, a take-no-prisoners form of social aggression that pits pal against pal. Daughters vs. their Mothers; Mothers vs. muthers -- it's you against the world. But you're not a wimp. You play.

You sit there looking cool, waiting for one number. Just one.  You wait -- barely breathing.  Then you're best buddy calls bingo -- and that's the last thing you remember!!

Bingo Players Hold Intellectual Edge -- says misquoted researchers.

Weird Bingo players are smarter

Misquoted Researchers at the University of Calgary confirm intellectual edge bingo players have over the population in general.  Their studies demonstrated that the brain cells of bingo players swell as each numbered ball is called. This increase in brain mass equates to the overall trend of bingo players scoring higher than the general population on multi-tasking tests involving markers, paper, and little jade buddhas.

A Lawyer, a Bride and a Pregnant Lady Walk into a Bingo Hall...

Friends bring friends to play at WeirdBingo.com in Waukegan, Illinois

Ok it sounds like the set up for a bad joke, right? Well, it's actually true. Last week a Lawyer, a Bride and a Pregnant Lady walked into Weird Bingo at St. Anastasia in Waukegan, Illinois. Brandie, Chrissy and Lauren are three friends at a crossroads. One is pregnant, one just graduated from law school and passed the bar, and the third is running off to Maui with her guyfriend to tie the knot. This called for something special to mark the occassion. Chrissy googled it and came up with WeirdBingo.com. The trio traveled an hour just to play. Was this the bonding experience they expected? Was it their rite of passage? Can they find now happiness at home, in the courts or in the sun, surf and sand? We may never know.
