Hey fellow poster gods, team Sit Under Wolf Pack here. We are proud to report that we are knee deep in Bingo and are keeping a sharp eye out for all of those highly coveted squares. We X'ed out the easy ones early on (meeting up with another team, a non-ironic mullet, etc.) but are now delving into the more sacred boxes. Yesterday we hit three in a row... Firstly, a smooth talking undergrad came in searching for one of our more gaudy Marilyn Monroe posters, only to pull down his t-shirt and reveal the EXACT image on his left pectoral. And then, he one upped himself by showing that her famous mole was depicted on his tattoo with an implanted pink rhinestone! He gets double points for that one. Next came a set of identical twins, and then a set of fraternal twins, and then a whole gaggle of tanned and giggling girls who could have been twins, but also could have just been duplicates (it is hard to say). The day ended with a Led Zepplin lover buying the aeroplane print that was also silk screened onto his t-shirt, making three X's for the day.
Our "wild card" square is currently reserved for our very favorite customer yet. She came in and bought a Lil' Wayne poster (no surprise there), the hip-hop tree print (with the expertly photo-shopped color gradient), a Malcom X poster, and the "fish without a bicycle". When my teammate commented on her eclectic taste she responded (and this is verbatim), "Well, I figured since I bought three black rapper posters, I should get a fourth poster that is a little more white and feminine". Yes. Verbatim. And though I have to agree that Malcom X would have cut a mean hip-hop album, I would venture to call the fish poster a bit more feminist than feminine. But I guess that is what college is for... to teach one these subtle differences.
In any case, we hope you all are well and happy. Signing out!
