    I just watched this video featuring a clip from The Dick Van Dyke Show,
    in which Laura makes a tricky poker shot. They were going to cut to a
    pro pool player doing the shot, but through chance, MTM actually landed
    it.

    This clip is gold. Look at her face as she realizes the balls are
    actually going in. Look how smoothly Dick Van Dyke folds his real shock
    into the character's freeze. I replayed it several times.

    This turned up in my feed some time back. It is indeed fortunate that an actor's genuine surprise can be worked into the scene for a better
    result. When they break character, it's just gag reel fodder.

    Trickiest poker shot since Dean Martin in Five Card Stud!

    Cool find. But the game is pool, not poker. ;-)

    But having the poker cards and chips on the table does make it even
    more difficult to get the pool balls into the pockets. :-p

    C'mon, everybody knows that a chip shot is golf...

    Or what politicians constantly take at each other...

    A chip shop is where we buy our fish and chips takeaways. ;-)
    (Not that we buy many these days due to ever-increasing prices of everything.)

    This morning, a friend of mine in messenger mentioned total recall. I
    replied with the actress name, Lycia Naff. AutoCorrect changed it to Lycia Maddie before posting. I have no idea what they were going for there.

    Which reminds me of Rachel Ticotin. Now you might wonder what she is
    up to and why her name came to mind. She was in the last few episodes
    of this season of SHERIFF COUNTRY and with the final reveal of the
    season she is set to play a big role next season.

    She was totally scrumptious in TOTAL RECALL. We were supposed to think Sharon Stone was the eye candy in that movie, but I only had eyes for Rachel.
