hard deadlines

This is a very serious week for the Portsmouth Town Council — please come to the budget hearing on Wednesday at 7pm at the Middle School — so I figured this would be the perfect time to kick off Tailgunner Bingo ™. Based on my experience sitting through almost 50 Council meetings, I've put together a set of buzzword Bingo cards featuring the greatest hits of Tailgunner Gleason, and now you can share all the fun and excitement!

Just download this set of Bingo cards, and you can play along at home or in the Council chamber. (It's in PDF format for easy printing. Don't already have Acrobat Reader? You can download it here for free.) You'll get a set of ten handsome randomized Bingo cards, so you can play with the whole gang when they come over to watch the Council on Cox. Use 'em right out of the printer, or laminate them in plastic for months of fun.*

If you're playing along at home, feel free to use whatever rules you like. But please, if you're sitting in the Council chamber, remember that this is a serious public occasion. Standing up and shouting "BINGO!" is just going to get us all in trouble. Please use the level of decorum appropriate for a meeting of town government. You might just raise your Bingo card and wave it about gently. I think that's what Anne Hutchinson used to do when she was playing Roger Williams Bingo.

Disclaimer: The management of hard deadlines assumes no responsibility for any use of these Bingo cards. If you get tossed out of a Council meeting by President Canario, don't come whining to me.

P.S. Any suggestions for revisions or future versions are most welcome. Feel free to leave 'em in the comments, or send them anonymously through the contact link.
