Cash Cow

Here is the story:

In the Southern US, and probably in several other places as well, we have a game called, “Cow Patty Bingo”. Here’s how it works. Using spray paint, someone makes a numbered grid on a small piece of fenced-in land. People buy numbers, and then sit back and wait to see which number the cow puts its pie on. In other words, people get really worked up about cow shit. Of course, cow shit is not the prize. The prize is usually something typical like an electronic device, tickets or money. I’m going to go with money.

So how do you play Cow Patty Bingo online? It’s pretty easy. Actually, it’s easy for both of us, since I don’t have to walk out into the steaming dishwasher that we call a climate around here with brain-cell-exploding spray paint. In fact, I’m going to do away with the whole grid/number bit all together. Actually, there won’t even be any cow shit. Why am I calling this contest Cow Patty Bingo? Well, that is just what happens when your creativity muse gets drunk and wakes you up at 3 am with “great ideas”. In other words, I don’t know.
