World Bunco Championships

For the last few weeks I have had a free preview of the Oxygen channel.

According to Wikipedia the Oxygen network is a cable television network started by successful enterpenuer Oprah Winfrey, oriented on what are ostensibly women's topics, like romance, family, style/fashion, women's health issues, shopping, and entertainment.

Last night I came across the World Bunco Championship on Oxygen. One thousand women from all over the USA (mostly overage and overweight) came together to play bunco. Even with the themed dress night, the program was actually boring to watch. I consider myself to be a big fan of bunco (and I play in two groups) however...after 10 minutes of the championship...I was bored. The real fun of bunco is the table talk during the game.

But for those of you who are also bunco fans, you may want to try for the next Championship in Las Vegas.

Prilosec OTC is the title sponsor of the event. I'm not sure what heartburn and bunco have to do with each other...well I guess all bunco snacks could create heartburn.
