Chicken Sh@t Bingo, Ginnys Little Longhorn — Austin, TX
At 4 pm every Sunday, a hundred or so people cram themselves into a tiny Texas roadhouse and anxiously wait for Sissy to shit. Welcome to The Honkiest Tonkiest Beer Joint in Town: Ginny’s Little Longhorn, home to Austin’s infamous Chicken Shit Bingo starring Sissy the chicken.
The concept is simple. Drop a numbered, plywood grid on the pool table. Seed the playing field and cover with a chicken coup. Strike up the band, get yourself a free chili dog and a few $2 Lone Stars, buy a ticket and pray that Sissy takes one on your number. Few things are stranger than rubbing humid, boozy elbows with German tourists who are madly ranting at a constipated chicken. “Acht, Huhn! ACHT!!!” But games of chance are universal and so is beer and chicken shit on a Summer Sunday in the Lone Star State. This must be why God blesses Texas.
From somewhere out there,

Gabe, just because you are in Texas you don’t have to drink that mass produced cowpiss called Lonestar, well except at the Horseshoe Lounge.
