One-liners From:   scuba Date:   16 January 2007 Subject:   Re: GoLlers going to PGM Forum:   GammOnLine To those going [to the Backgammon Million Tournament], in the interest of promoting our game and encouraging future events like this, remember: This is TV. Lighten up! Play fast! Make it fun to watch! Think of some funny one-liners to throw out there for the audience. "Better lucky than good" "If you roll a 1, you better duck, cause this cup is comin right at yer head" "I would have made that play ... 20 years ago" "Even my Grandma would have hit loose there" "Didja ever see the movie Airplane? There was an Autopilot there, too"   Did you find the information in this article useful?           Do you have any comments you'd like to add?
