Invented right here and already forked into mutually opposed camps, Punk Rock Bingo is poised to take over the world, one bar at a time. Or something.  But my point is this: at Punk Rock Bingo, if you yell out "Bingo" and don't have one, they haul you up on stage and spank you with a wooden oar. Ouch. Strangely enough, some people seem to like that sort of thing, so there is on-stage spanking nearly every time. Visit Calgary. It's cold up here. We do weird things for entertainment.
