I remember, my first job when I got my working papers at 13 was as a vendor at Yankee Stadium – the old Yankee Stadium, with very steep stairs in the upper decks. It was all commission-based.

I joined the staff of EMI in Middlesex in 1951, where I worked for a while on radar and guided weapons and later ran a small design laboratory.

In another time, another world, each studio made 200 movies a year and had 20 executives. Today, a studio makes less than 20 movies a year and has 500 executives.

Dennis Conner is Pete Rose in deck shoes. Dave Anderson

After we got our first family car with a tape deck, my dad acquired exactly three cassette tapes: A ‘Best of ABBA,’ ‘Private Heaven’ by Sheena Easton, and the soundtrack to ‘Xanadu.’ I also unironically love ‘Xanadu.’ Adam Rex

I never saw war, so that is still my vision of manhood: Unitas standing courageously in the pocket, his left arm flung out in a diagonal to the upper deck, his right cocked for the business of passing, down amidst the mortals. Lock and load. Frank Deford
The unions claim the deck is stacked against them when it comes to labor laws, but the truth is many private and public sector workers are forced to pay union dues as a condition of their employment, yet they have little say in how the unions spend their money. Linda Chavez
When you’re a child actor and play the precocious kid, the temptation is to wear leather pants or a cutoff shirt to redefine yourself.

Peter Billingsley
I’m working on a screenplay right now for the BBC, but I hope to have the decks cleared soon so I can get into the studio with my pals and put down some more tracks, try to get a strong dance single together. Irvine Welsh
Betting on the success of innovative technologies in the marketplace can carry all the uncertainty and risk that betting on the next card in the deck does at a blackjack table in Las Vegas.

But, no, it is a very impressive group of young people that live at sea, in this place that’s very uncomfortable. They exude a pride that is well-deserved. Tom Hanks
One of the things that got me interested in genetics was the relationship between genes and environment. We are all dealt a certain deck of cards, but our environment can influence the outcomes. Anne Wojcicki
Sitting with a deck of cards in your hand all day is an obsession. Visiting print shops and bookstores and libraries is an obsession. And writing about this is an obsession.

I can safely say that there are dozens of places on ‘Titania’ to watch a film with friends. I would estimate there’s something like 50 televisions on board, some of which are very big-screen, some of which drop out of ceilings on the outdoor decks. John Caudwell
Whether you’re shuffling a deck of cards or holding your breath, magic is pretty simple: It comes down to training, practice, and experimentation, followed up by ridiculous pursuit and relentless perseverance. David Blaine

You can read Windrush as a morality tale, but it is about the future of black people in the Caribbean. Where next will they want us to labour? Where is the next place they will take us? Why do we not focus on building our own economies and societies? We need to put all hands on deck to get our economies to function at a higher level. Hilary Beckles
I’m kind of a good girl – and I’m not. I’m a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I’m a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That’s what the stories in my music do. Katy Perry

I used to comfort myself with the idea of a book with serrated, detachable pages, so that you could read the thing the way it came and then shuffle the pages, like a giant deck of cards, and read the book in an entirely different order. It would be a different book, wouldn’t it? It would be one of infinite books. Franz Wright
Mystical groups such as the Theosophical Society and the Rosicrucians turned tarot into an American fad during the early 1900s.

Waite, a British member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the artist Pamela Colman Smith. Brendan I. Koerner
I’ve got a PowerPoint deck that I use for internal presentations, and there’s a slide on it that asks, ‘What percentage of your game is combat versus exploration versus puzzle solving versus platforming,’ and I refuse to answer that question. Warren Spector

Any gay man in America redeals a deck at some point. Andrew Sean Greer
Question: Why does anyone bother to listen to economists anymore? The profession has become an embarrassment, and the most respected economists have shown themselves to have as much predictive power as a deck of tarot cards. Stephen Moore

My new house has a deck that wraps around my writing room; my writing room has many windows, and outside the windows I’ve hung bird feeders… for enticing different species. So I imagine I will be writing about that. Julia Cameron

Artists have different responsibilities in different eras. But at this point, I really feel like it’s all hands on deck. An artist that’s fiddle-faddling in opaque, gossamer gestures – I mean it’s fine to do that, totally fine, but there’s no time left. We don’t have the luxury of time anymore. Anohni
I’ve been singing since I could talk, pretty much. My dad was really musical and taught me how to sing harmonies and got me a karaoke machine with tape decks. Bonnie McKee
Here’s how adaptation works – almost everything in the movie is in the book in some form. But it’s as though the deck has been completely reshuffled and some of the cards have been assigned different values, some of the fours have been made into jacks, and some of the jacks have been made into twos. Walter Kirn

Everyone asks me if I’m the princess or if my brothers beat me up. The younger ones I can deck pretty easily. With the older ones, it’s harder. Odeya Rush
I wanted to be a pro wrestler, but my mom didn’t let me. I used to make videos and stuff in the backyard.

Josh Segarra
Tarot cards likely originated in northern Italy during the late 14th or early 15th century.

‘Moonwalking with Einstein’ refers to a memory device I used when I memorized a deck of playing cards at the U.S. Memory Championship. When I competed in 2006, I set a new U.S. record by memorizing a deck of cards in one minute and 40 seconds. That record has since fallen. Joshua Foer
When you feel like you’re going to have a low-scoring game, why not have one of your better hitters have a chance? All of a sudden you’re in the ninth inning and you have one of your best hitters on deck that doesn’t get up. I always think about that. Dave Martinez
To attain the rank of grand master of memory, you must be able to perform three seemingly superhuman feats.

There are 36 grand masters of memory in the world. Joshua Foer

They wouldn’t take me in the navy because of my glass eye. So I joined the merchant navy, who allowed monocular crew if you worked in the kitchens. You’re not wanted on deck or in the engine room with one eye, but you’re good to fire up the ovens and cook hundreds of chops. Peter Falk
I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat’s deck and beaten to death. Casey Affleck
I’ve been a writer since I was a kid. I’ve been a writer since I was, you know, dictating stories into a tape deck and trying to get my mom to type them up – when I was really, really little. Shonda Rhimes
I love to get on tracks with brothers like Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, the GZA. The whole crew is golden, man. When you think of us, you gotta say, ‘Yo, these are the Jacksons of hip-hop.’ Raekwon
Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you’re always going to find a hip-hop tape; that’s all I buy, that’s all I live, that’s all I listen to, that’s all I love. Eminem
I remember dawn coming up over the Strait of Malacca; ragamuffin kids on the dock in Sumatra laughing as they pelted us with bananas; collecting dead flying fish off the deck and bringing them to our sweet, fat, toothless Danish cook to fry up for breakfast. Christopher Buckley
Fate was dealing from the bottom of the deck. S. J. Perelman

I had a boom box with a dual cassette deck and a mic, so I used to make pause tapes. I think a lot of people started like that because it was all I had. I would just take rap records that I liked and just loop the beat by pressing pause and record and make, like, five minutes of these beats. El-P

I’m sort of an old man, always tinkering in the backyard. Since I grew up playing outdoors, I still like to plant things, sit out on the deck, or go hiking. Josh Duhamel
My ideal meal varies, depending on the time of year. Lobster on a deck overlooking a beach at sunset is one – but all my kids have to be there, because they are all lobster-lovers.
