Chuck Thompson quotes:

Learn Languages the Right Way. Language acquisition games and abstract communicative method are bullshit. The second-best way to learn a foreign language is alone in a room doing skull-numbing rote memorization of vocabulary, grammar, key phrases, and colloquialisms. The best way is in bed.

It's easy to be a tough competitor and still be the kind of person with whom people love to compete.

If you always start with the worst hand, you never have a bad-beat story to tell.

No place is ever as bad as they tell you it's going to be.

There are two things to do in Juneau, drink and get drunk.
