We’ve had a lot of fun in the past few days as people have submitted bingo card squares for our latest NeatoShop contest.
Congratulations to the winners! kkirkpat offered “Mashup Art” and won the Brainier Than the Average Bear t-shirt. Jefferson submitted “International [Something That Doesn't Need a Day] Day and won the Bloody Heart t-shirt.
So let’s get playing!
The author of The Fluffpo loves to make fun of the variously loved or loathed Huffington Post, and so made this funny bingo card for readers to play as they read that blog. Presumably the winner gets one of those high-paying writing gigs at the Post.
But winners of this contest will get t-shirts. We’re going to create a bingo card with twenty-four squares (they’ll be one free space in the center) that people can play while reading Neatorama. What should we write in the squares? You tell us!
Place your submission in the comment section below. Write only one per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you’d like. In five days, we’ll choose twenty-four entries for our card and show you the results so that you can start playing right away.
Among those twenty-four entries, we’ll randomly select two winners who will get t-shirts from the NeatoShop. Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don’t include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay?
Now, off to the comments with you!

Update: The contest is over, the card is ready, and you can see the results here. Congratulations to our two t-shirt winners!
Stacy just posted a Comedy Central take on Comic Con Bingo, but personally, as a frequent attendee, I find the Last Gasp Bookstore’s Bingo board to be a little more accurate. So far I’m sill looking for a furry and a klingon, but other than that, all of my squares would be blacked out so far. If you’re at the convention, grab a board from the Last Gasp booth and you can win prizes when you fill get a Bingo with picture evidence of your discoveries.

Those of you lucky enough to be at Comic-Con right now (I’m looking at you, Jill Harness) should not have time to be bored. But if you are, Comedy Central has a great solution for you – Comic-Con Bingo. Even if you play blackout, it should take approximately two minutes to complete.

Today’s election day, so you know what’s coming soon: election night, where pundits mix fantastical nonsense with Captain Obvious-worthy facts. Whether you’re a political junkie or an apathetic citizen, here’s something to do while watching election night coverage on TV: the Election Night Bingo made by Brendan Nyhan – via The Daily Dish
"They arrived eager and early, cramming the sidewalk leading to the entrance.

A lot of people like to play bingo. But this one in York County, Pennsylvania is different: it’s all about meat.
Is there a more salt-of the-earth, down home, practical thing to do on a Friday night then a little simultaneous gambling, bringing home the bacon and helping out a local service club? I think not!
It looked like just another evening of bingo at a fire hall somewhere in York County, except the prizes differed from most games.
Meat, massive amounts of it, awaited the winner of each round. Many have heard of playing bingo for pretty baskets, but once a year in Stewartstown, they hand out juicy cuts of beef, pork, chicken and seafood.
The novelty of it draws many players, and in these lean economic times, a $12 ticket makes for a cheap gamble on the chance to win a butcher’s bonanza. For others, the occasion has simply become an annual tradition.
“It’s a cultural event,” said Emily Cooper, 28, of East Hopewell Township. “It’s part of being from southern York County, going to meat bingo.”
