For decades
pundits have been saying that the New Orleans Saints were so bad at playing
football that Hell would freeze over if the Saints would ever win The Super
Bowl.
On Sunday, February 7, 2010 the Saints won the Super Bowl.
On that same Sunday Washington D.C. was paralyzed under several feet of snow and
the Government was shut down.
Do you think this indicates the actual location of Hell?
Thanks
Mano, is this the new 24 Jose Power model:
The United States Border Patrol is asking citizens to keep on the lookout for a red 1951 Chevy that they suspect is being used to smuggle illegal immigrants across the border from Mexico and into points along the U.S. Border. If you see the vehicle pictured below and have reason to believe that it is the suspect vehicle, you are urged to contact your local police department or the U. S. Border Patrol.
Thanks Paul, everyone's playing this all across the nation and select foreign countries:
1. Before Barrack Obama's next televised speech, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card by drawing a square.
I find that 5" x 5" is a good size; and dividing it into columns --five across and five down. That will give you 25 1-inch blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
· Restored our reputation
· Strategic fit
· Let me be clear
· Make no mistake
· Back from the brink
· Signs of recovery
· Out of the loop
· Benchmark
· Job creation
· Fiscal restraint
· Win-win
· Affordable health care
· Previous Administration
· Greed on Wall Street
· At the end of the day
· Empower (or empowerment)
· Touch base
· Mindset
· Corporate greed
· Ballpark
· Game plan
· Leverage
· Inherited as in "I inherited this mess"
· Relief for working families
3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically,
or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
Testimonials from past satisfied "Bullshit Bingo" players:
