Congratulations to Gamesviller Burgy66 of Sebring, FL, who won $2,400 TODAY playing Three-Eyed Bingo.
Useless Fact!
Burgy66’s hometown of Sebring, FL, is also the hometown of journeyman major league pitcher Tom “Flash” Gordon. Over his 20-year career Gordon has been with eight MLB teams, starting his career with the Kansas City Royals and was recently a part of the Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series team. In 1998 Gordon was named the Rolaids Relief Man of the Year Award given to the top relief pitcher of the regular season and between the 1998 and 1999 seasons set an American League record for most consecutive saves (54). Gordon is a three time All-Star and is still currently the only pitcher in MLB history with 100 wins, saves, and holds. Learn more about Sebring, FL…

Gamesvillers are the most interesting people — that’s why we shine the GV Member Spotlight on them! This time, we’re talking with Angel-luvsong from Wakefield, RI.
What inspired her member name? What’s her favorite sound? Find out below…

Gamesville: What inspired your member name?
The name “Angel-luvsong” came to me because I write songs and my husband calls me “Angel” — so it seemed to fit.
How long have you been writing songs?
Nine years. I’m always singing: alone, with company, in the shower, anywhere. All the time; it doesn’t matter where.
What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned as a song writer?
Inspiration can come from anywhere — from movies, books, strangers, even just stray thoughts.
What’s your favorite sound?
I’ve never been asked a question like this before! But my answer is windchimes. There’s something mystical about that beautiful sound that just relaxes me.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
This may sound silly since I’m a grown woman… but if I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to Disney World. I grew up with their movies. Plus, “magic” happens there — I really do believe that.
Do you have a favorite movie or song?
Not really. I’ll watch or listen to whatever’s on. I believe everything deserves a fair shot. If I don’t like a movie at the beginning, I’ll keep watching it until the end, thinking maybe I misjudged it. I’m not as forgiving with music.
What’s your favorite Gamesville game?
You probably hear this a lot… but I love Bingo! Hopefully one day, I win, too, LOL.
Thanks for talking with us, Angel-luvsong — we’ll be listening for you singing in the Bingo Zone.
This week’s Best Pets comes to us from Gamesviller Velmarosinaj from all the way down under in Western Australia. This week she’s sharing stories about her pet, James, who recently passed away:
“Here is my dog James who I got from a rescue center here in Australia eight years ago. He came with some very sad issues, being scared of being handled and would even snap at family members if they tried to pick him up. Sometimes he would hide under the bed and only come out for his dinner, it was such a sad sight.
“But what was really funny about James is what a fantastic singer he was! I would sing ‘How much is that doggy in the window’ in front of him and he would always sing along.
“After eight years of loving and caring for James with all my heart and soul he has left me. Knowing I gave him eight more years than he would have had if I had not taken him home makes me happy for the times we had together. Love and miss you, James.”

Congratulations to Gamesviller Krzykaren of Orange City, FL, who won $684 this weekend playing CatchUp CoverAll.
Useless Fact!
Krzykaren’s hometown of Orange City, FL, was originally inhabited by the Timucua Indians. The original Timucuan-speaking people were divided into a dozen tribes, all of which were considered individual entities within the larger political system, speaking seven distinct dialects. European contact with the Eastern Timucua began in 1564 when the French established Fort Caroline near the mouth of the St. Johns River. The French were soon displaced by the Spanish, who maintained close contact with the Timucua until they died out in the 18th century. Learn more about Orange City, FL…
Congratulations again to Krzykaren and to all our BIG winners from this weekend!
Author J.D. Salinger, whose novel “The Catcher in the Rye” has sold over 61 million copies worldwide, died yesterday in his Cornish, NH, home at the age of 91.
Published in 1951, “The Catcher in the Rye” became Mr. Salinger’s most famous work with its depiction of its angry, teenage protagonist, Holden Caulfield. For several generations of American high school students Salinger’s novel has been the seminal coming-of-age work assigned in English classes.
Salinger, who had not published a new work since 1965, lived in near-total isolation, having refused the attention of the literary world and the news media for decades. Read more about the life of JD Salinger…
Australian Ben McPhee has set a world record for the most yo-yos spinning at the same time – managing to hang 16 yo-yos off his fingers, hooks, and even his ears and mouth. The previous record was nine simultaneous spinning yo-yos. The new record was broken at the London Toy Fair but has yet to be ratified by Guinness World Records. McPhee, publicizing the UK launch of American toy brand YoYo Factory, said: “It looks like it’s going to be the year of the yo-yo in the UK so it seemed like a good idea to start with a real yo-yo challenge.” Read the full story at The Telegraph UK…
