| Kevin Al |
Would you straighten out your hat, please? That's not my hat, that's my head! |
| Ronnie | Just... Play... The... Game. |
| Al | I'm not talkin'. |
| Kevin | I got a new attitude this year. It's worse than last year. |

Kevin was all excited when Barbara's deal resulted in a joker as the "up" card, awaiting him. Then, Barbara discovered she had not dealt the last card to herself, so her own hand was one card short. This meant the joker was actually hers, and had to come out of Kevin's hand. Kevin's eyes were very big. |
| > > > |
Barbara was cuaght cheating, when she looked at the hand that was dealt her, and surreptitiously switched hands with Kevin. When Kevin discovered it, he lodged an official protest. Ronnie said Barbara ran the risk of burning in card hell! Mike said he thought this was card hell! |

Dennis called in from fire-fighting in Florida, and started telling people over the phone what cards other people were holding. |
| Al | I'm in deep, deep, big doo-dickey. |
| Kevin Joe |
I have three different ways to go. That's worse than AC/DC! |
| Sarah Mike |
How do you win this game? I wish I knew. |
Kevin |
On "3 Sets", Barbara picked up her first card and went out. Are you sure you didn't cheat? |
| Al Kevin Al |
Darn it. What's the matter, you don't have it? Yes, I got it. |
| Al | I hold the record for most consecutive gazorphs. I'm de-loused. |
| Dennis | I have a new tactic: I'm going to take every fifth card. |
| Barbara | What hand is this -- one run? |
| Al Barbara |
You go, buddy-baby You're puppy chow. |
| Dennis | I'm gonna slap the happy bean-maker |
| Ronnie | I'd like a rum & Coke, but we don't have any rum & we don't have any Coke. |
| Al | Humphy-diddly-diddly-do! |
| Al Kevin Al |
Is this two runs and a bizoozie? Or one set and two bizoozies? Two runs and a Tums |
| Al | I'm not saying anything. There's nothing coming out of my mouth. |
| Al Barbara |
There's a good outside chance that we'll play another game. Your mouth runneth over, Al. |
| Barbara | I'm a dead man. I really mean it. |
| Mike Diane |
Ooh Me That Now (see Diane's comments, circa 1998) That's so two years ago. |
| Rick | I just wershed the cards |
| Danny Jean |
He has queens! Danny, this is a serious card game. Even though they appear to be laughing... |
| Ronnie | I have to discrod |
| Kevin | I can't play on a cockeyed table! |
| Mike | Not bad for a dead man. |
| Kevin Mike |
I got uno. You got Oh, no. |
| Al Ronnie Al |
This is like a fist, this one. Like a fist? Yeah, this isn't a hand, it's a fist. |
| Mike | It's Continent-Hell |
| Kevin | Al, You're fraught with frit. |
| Al Mike Al |
This is a foot. A foot? Yeah, this isn't a hand, it's a foot. |
| Al | Wait a minute. Now we have a different horse of color, don't we? |
| Jonna | Just give it to me. |
| Dennis | …used a hammer truck to pick up the cards |
| Ralph | …went down in Round #3 in the final game of the millennium, and still had 14 cards remaining in his hand! |
