Four score and zero years ago Harold Vanderbilt brought forth a new game, conceived in genius and dedicated to the proposition that tricks are scored for game only if they are bid. We will soon be engaged in a great bowl to determine whether this game or any game, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it will never forget what they bid here. Especially if it's a slam off two cashing aces.

Caution: may contain nuts.

That reminds me of "Third hand thinks". An actual quote (from Danny Roth, if I'm not mistaken).
