BINGO

So I was reminiscing today about all of the crazy experiences that I've had in the 20+ chastity talks that I've heard. I decided to make a Bingo game out of it. This list is assuredly not definitive--it's perhaps a bit censored--but I think it's a good smattering of what I've gotten over the years:

Tell me, my blog-o-sphere friends, what am I missing? I know, I didn't put down Nasty Nasty, and I'm positive I could make this at least a 6x6 grid, thus you should feel free to comment and expand.

what about the story of jo jo jo joseph. i can't tell how many times that story was told to me. Then I think my dad once told me one about a stage coach driver and how close to the edge they could get.... then there's the one about the turkeys.....yep you for sure have enough for at least 3 more cards

I'll have you know a companion of mine got told the last column, fourth row down line!
Oh man, you should have seen her face. Needless to say we scooted out o' there pretty darn quick.
(We were there doing a favor to the Elders - they were teaching a young single mom. I was chatting with her and the son, and she was teaching her friend, the bird guy, in Spanish.) Her face, classic!
It's funny now.
I think you could add, Bad till you're married.

Laurel: no, I'm not.
Andrea: the stagecoach! I'd totally forgotten. But turkeys?
Heidi: Ack!

Venom, you 100% crack me up! More recently, my bishop here gave us a dating list of rules. One of them is NEVER EVER be alone in an apartment with a member of the opposite sex. So, does that mean, since I live alone, I need to call a friend to come chaperone us? Never ever be alone after midnight. Ok, so I guess that late movie is out:-) It was just a funny list, I gotta admit, although a very valid point. We must talk about this later and laugh:-)

You missed one of my favorites. "Remember, sisters, Victoria's Secret should remain secret until you're married."

Vanessa Swenson said...

LOL. i'd totally forgotten about that one, Aninha. Holy cow. That killed me.
Riss: If you need a chaperon, I respectfully decline. Just sit across the room from each other. Maybe separate rooms, if you need to. You could use walkie talkies to flirt.

You definitely have too much time on your hands!

Vanessa Swenson said...

it barely took any time at all! i mean, these things are seared into my mind...

M said...

Oh wow. I love you so much. I'm going to forward this to my old roomies from when I was single. They'll crack up.

My favorite was "I'll draw a line next to this intimacy spectrum...you tell me when to stop."

Michelle said...

HA ha ha ha ha!!!!!! Do you have a copyright on this or is it available for use?

Vanessa Swenson said...

oh, this is definitely free for anyone to use and add to. go ahead and use it when Tristan is a singles ward bishop.

I'm very impressed with your bingo. It's so right on. The most uncomfortable ones for were the panels where people in the ward were allowed to ask any question. Someone inevitably asked a "hypothetical" question about the appropriateness (or inappropriateness) of certain behaviors. It was a bit creepy once I realized most people asking questions were currently involved in said behaviors. Shudder.

"at the top of the pyramid comes the glimmering little mystery called romance"

also, did you get the other side of the microwave-- "girls are like crock pots"?

And then there's the Elder Scott quote about how when you kiss before you're married, it should be the kind of kiss where you would be comfortable if your parents were in the room...

(I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones that pop into my head)

Vanessa Swenson said...

Lili--when I read the glittering romance quote, I burst out laughing. I'd totally forgotten about it.
Did you ever see my Winner's Circle shirt that said, I'm a crock pot, are you my microwave?

Thanks for adding to the list. I think I'm going to have to make alternate Bingo sheets. It's going to be a real Bingo game now.
