The Golden Dauber

A few times a year we go to a fundraising BINGO for the CT Gay Men's Chorus.  It's a fun night to hang out with friends.  What always gets me about the evening is that it's such an interesting mix of people in attendance.  It's not just gay men and their friends - there's a lot of the people who you would expect to see at any church basement BINGO game.  It's a riot to attend and interesting to see the crowd.

There's always a theme to the evening and some people dress up in costume (this past weekend was Pajama Party BINGO so some people wore pajamas).  A hilarious "Joan Crawford" calls the numbers with her "kids" and she entertains with some colourful jokes.  In addition to the actual BINGO game prizes, there are winners throughout the evening for the door prize raffle.  Some of the prizes are great - restaurant and spa gift certificates, theatre tickets, merchandise - all donated by local businesses.  They also do some fun, silly prizes through the evening, like the prize of a "nice, hard cock" and then they bring out a small statue of a rooster.

The most coveted prize is the Golden Dauber which I was fortunate enough to have won back in November.

I had not mentioned this before - didn't want to brag, or anything - but I bring it up now because the most recent winner from this past Saturday does deserve mention.  Here she is with her prize.  Her name is Betty.

When she stood up to accept her prize, the place erupted in laughter to see cute little Betty tottering up to accept her prize.  People started applauding and she actually got a standing ovation.  It was hilarious!
