Inauguration Day special: Play Obama Bingo!

In a few short hours Barack Obama will become the 44th President of the United States of Tara America, and the first to have the middle name "Hussein". Wait ... there's something else of particular significance about Obama's taking the reins but I can't seem to think of what it is ... does it have something to do with that tripod poodle?

Anyway, today is going to be cuckoobananas, mark my words. And in order to help pass the time and keep track of the really important moments, we've devised a special AfterElton.com OBAMA BINGO game. That's right, you too can play along at home!

After the break, check out the official gamecard, read the rules, and join the fun! 

The rules: It's easy. Print out the official gamecard below. Simply keep an eye or ear on the media clusterfoofy that will be Tuesday, January 20, 2009. When you see or hear one of the items or phrases listed on the card, place a penny in that square on your card. (If you don't have a printer, stick a chewed piece of gum to your monitor over the appropriate square.) 

Once you've got a straight line of pennies/gum (either vertical, horizontal, or corner-to-corner), you've got OBAMA BINGO! Drop a note in the comments, list your sources, and brag shamelessly. Jump up and down.

We're digging around in the couch cushions to see if we can come up with an actual prize or two, but really, the prize for the winner is the eternal respect of the gay entertainmentgoing public, right?

Have fun!
