Bingo!

Tom Scheck sends this along tonight...

When there are long hours on the floor, House members often play legislative bingo. They mark cards that include phrases like "the speaker waves at someone from the podium" or Rep. Lynn Carlson gets up and says "When I was chair..." and Rep. Tom Rukavina mentions his Aunt in a floor speech.

Just like bingo - you win when you get something in a row. I don't know what the prize is and I've never heard anyone yell out "Bingo" on the House floor.

I don't know if you can see some of the bingo events, but they include:

* Matt Entenza saying its a sad say in Minnesota.

* Member confused Haws and Howes

* Cellphone rings during prayer

* All three Johnsons voted green on a bill
