"Last hand pard. Don't go mental on me" -- Curtis Cheek

ha! I was the operator at the table when Cheek said this to Joe Grue on the weekend.

 

Here's the hands:

Grue was in fine form, check his actions on Bd 44 and 47. And on 48 Gupta missed a chance given to him by the defense to make his contract and I think go thru to the next stage.

"We need our rally caps now."

"You guys need a new IMP scale."

 

To the best of my recollection, the setup came from Fred Stewart. The punchline came from Mark Itabashi en route to a semifinal or final win in the 1998 GNT.

Enjoyed kibbing that set and several others. Thanks Nick!

There was another cute quote from that set after Grue baby-psyched a 1S response after 1H-(X).

 

There was discussion among the commentators about whether the Indians would field the psyche (yes, it took half a round of bidding to do so) and one commentator, a Canadian whose name escapes me said:

 

"Gupta was using that routine before Grue was even born."

 

I mentioned this to Subby Gupta at the Victory Dinner later that night and he broke up.

The commentator was Martin Johnson (fabsayc). The vugraph commentary was really enjoyable!
