PORN AGAIN

Blue Movie Bingo

Wed., July 25, 10pm. $3. Bob and Barbara's, 1509 South St. 215.545.4511. www.myspace.com/bob_and_barbaras

No longer relegated to church basements and other haunts of the blue-hair set, bingo has been making a steady resurgence among bohemians and same-sexers since the early '90s.

It was perhaps inevitable then that twee stronghold and queer refuge Bob and Barbara's should host a weekly tournament trafficking in chips and cards with (what else?) porn dominating the list of prizes.

What better way to celebrate the end of another grueling humpday than throwing back specials as you slowly fill your board with chips on your way to winning that coveted copy of That '70s ‘Ho'?

With any luck, perhaps you'll walk out double-fisted after winning Edward Penishands the following round.

Then again, maybe you're a little down on your luck, in which case the Hobo Round is right up your alley. Make a straight line of chips and you'll leave B&B's the proud owner of some rot-gut liquor and a can of meat.

The specifics vary from week to week, but it doesn't really matter. If you can tell the difference between Spam and Libby's Potted Meat, perhaps you shouldn't be shelling out $3 for a bingo card. (Joshua Valocchi)
