In "Confessions of a Winning Poker Player," Jack King said,
"Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career." It seems true to me, cause walking in here, I can hardly remember how I built my bankroll, but I can't stop thinking of how I lost it.
Tell me what movie the subject line quote is from and win*
A collection of various colored pencils
A VHS tape of Hudson Hawk
and My Sisters last 6 Pack of Zima she's been saving since '97
Last weeks quote was from "American Psycho"

"Do you like Phil Collins?"
"I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual."

"Son, we live in a world that has walls
and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns.
Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. "
*Tell me what movie the subject line quote is from and win:
- Navel lint From Rosie O'Donell and Anne Heche
- Live plant weavings from Hammacher Splooger
- My Sisters Dicarded Underoo's
Last Episodes Quote was from Dazed and Confused.
