Bull Crap Bingo

By QBlog in

Read about "Bull Crap Bingo" at the Quixtar Now message board and just had to share it here. The original post was made by "tobad" but I don't know if that's where it originated or not. Here it is with a few minor edits:

Bull Crap Bingo For Biz Conferences

HOW TO STAY AWAKE IN MEETINGS: OFFERED AS A SERVICE TO YOUNG IBOS

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? Well here's a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5" x 5" is a good size. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will
give you 25 one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:

  • synergy
  • strategic fit
  • core competencies
  • best practice
  • bottom line
  • revisit
  • expeditious
  • to tell you the truth (or "the truth is")
  • 24/7
  • out of the loop
  • benchmark
  • value-added
  • proactive
  • win-win
  • think outside the box
  • fast track
  • result-driven
  • empower (or empowerment)
  • knowledge base
  • at the end of the day
  • touch base
  • mindset
  • client focus(ed)
  • paradigm
  • game plan
  • leverage

    3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

    4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULL CRAP!"

    That's to difficult because if you are falling asleep and somebody wich is talking to you has a stupid conversation or if a man who you don't know and you don't like wants to meet with you...wow...

    You had the energy to put on this crappy website, But you don't have the energy to build this business. Look at your eyes!
    DO YOU THINK ANYONE WILL TRUST THEM?
    Find yourself a life of productivity. If you think, by building this website, you will convince people of quitting, then you are wrong. There are winners out there, that have enough GUTS to build it. If you couldn't please shut down this website and go deplore the looser you are.
