i know it's summer and a lot of you are dealing with unbearable heat right now, and just the thought of a scarf around your neck brings on heat stroke...but the evenings here have been so refreshingly cool and almost chilly at times that i could totally snuggle up with one of these beauties...

why do i want this?

I'm not even a huge fan of Bingo, but i think this would be so fun to play with lots of friends, beer, and a sweet prize to win...and at the price ($20), you really can't pass it up...
