I need some new poker one-liners

PokerFilter: I need some witty and/or lame one-liners to throw down throughout the course of a poker game. Examples within!

I play in a weekly poker game with seven of my friends, and I love throwing out witty, often surreal, one-liners regarding the state of the game. For instance:

- If I'm dealt a bad hand: "I haven't seen cards this shitty since I went dumpster diving at the Hallmark factory!"

- If I'm having a bad game: "I'm giving away chips like a waitress at [[insert Mexican restaurant]]!"

- If the flop is all red cards: "I haven't seen this much red on the table since I took that Summer job as a janitor at the women's clinic!"

- If I hit a flush: "You guys better jump out of the shower, because I've gotta flush!" (this one is from "Friends", sadly)

So, with that, I thought I'd query the hive mind to come up with a few more. No lines barred! Give me your tired, your lame, your crude, your off-color, your surreal poker one-liners. Thanks!

I like to say at the end of a big hand that I lose: "I was *so* winning that hand until you showed me your cards!"

If you have a full-house: "Meet the Tanners." And as you place each card down, "Uncle Jesse, Joey, Michelle, DJ, and Danny."

If you have a shitty hand: "I apparently didn't use enough toilet paper because I have a really shitty hand."

When you get on a hot run, you say:

"I'm on fire! No, really. My pants are burning. Send help."

You can call me Aaron Burr from the way I'm dropping Hamiltons. (from SNL)

My folding technique is unstoppable.

When you fold say, "If I fold 500 more I'll get my wish!"

...That's for the lame pile...

If you are a talking heads fan you could make a comment about "take me to the river" on the last flop in texas hold'em...

Some of these are very dumb and some are not very P.C., but you asked for it:

Pair of Twos: Barely Legal
Pair of Fives: Sammy (I can't drive 5-5)
Pair of Sevens: Mullet or Hockey Sticks
Pair of Eights: Fat Ladies
Six and a Nine: Big Lick
Pair of Nines: Gretzky
Ten and a Five: Nickels and Dimes
Ten and a Six: Sweet Sixteen
Pair of Queens: Siegfried and Roy

Here are some more.

when someone makes some sort of technical mistake/blunder say "You'd get shot in Vegas for that shit"
-- then riff-away... i.e. when someone tells a bad joke or says something off-color say "You'd get shot in Vegas for saying that shit"

You could do an inane verse / chorus of Lady GaGa's Pokerface EVERY deal. Loud and irritating. That would get old pretty fast.
