Get ready for debate bingo!

Posted on October 4, 2008 9:59 am by TheAngelForever

As I hinted at yesterday, TechyDad (you know my hubby) and I are going to revamp Palin Bingo (photos here) for the next presidential debate. This time TechyDad has come up with a few new features to allow you to have more fun. We need your assistance.

What words should we add to the new debate bingo?

The words should be something that either candidate would say, thus making it fun no matter what your political viewpoint.. Please head on over to TechyDad’s post here to see the words that he already has, have been suggested by others and of course to give some more thoughts.

The new bingo will likely be live later today or tomorrow. . . plenty of time to get yourself ready for the debate on Tuesday.

Aloha Friday #16

Aloha and TGIF everyone!

Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life for starting this fun for Friday. Please be sure to head over to her blog to say hello and sign the Mr. Linky there if you are participating.

My question for this week is inspired by the great VP debate:

Did you watch the VP debate last night? Did it change your view or feelings about anything? No need to go into specifics if you do not want to.

My husband and I watched the debate. We were quite interested in seeing how things would shake out with Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. My feelings about qualifications going in changed a little toward one candidate, but made no difference in the way I will vote on November 4th.

Of course while we were watching we also played Palin Bingo. We each used three cards at once to make it more interesting. These are my cards from the end of the debate:

And at 9:47 EST I called out PALIN. . . . not long after I complained about having a miserable group of cards.

Thanks to TechyDad for making a fun game to play and share with everyone. Oh and we plan on making something generic for the next Presidential debate. So stay tuned!

Play Palin Bingo

Posted on October 1, 2008 10:27 pm by TheAngelForever

Whether you are a fan of Sarah Palin or not, almost everyone is watching her every move and listening to the words that come out of her mouth. Thanks to this, a record number of people are likely going to watch the Vice Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin tomorrow evening.

JL and I were talking. We had so much fun with the Obama and McCain debate that we wanted to do something special for this BIG debate between the VP candidates. Many people have mentioned drinking games, but well we do not drink. We wanted something family friendly that anyone could play along if they wanted to.

I started thinking about Palin Bingo. We could use some of Governor Palin’s catch phrases/words from the last few weeks. The best part, JL is a webmaster and can code anything. This afternoon we sat and laughed our rears off making a list of 73 items to include on our Palin Bingo boards.

Tonight while watching Pushing Daisies and Private Practice, JL sat and coded a Palin Bingo game for all to play tomorrow night. Heck, you could technically play it any time you see Sarah Palin on television, hear her on the radio, or even see Tina Fey impersonating her.

May I present you with a sample TheAngelForever and TechyDad’s Palin Bingo:

Did that get your attention? I figured it may. If you would like to play along JL, aka TechyDad, has written a script to allow you to generate your own Palin Bingo. All you have to do it head on over to his blog and click on the link. Once there all you have to do is refresh the page and new Palin Bingo cards will be generated for you to print out to play a fun family friendly game while watching Thursday’s debate.

Have fun!
