Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar

[Grey_Wolf_c]

I strip 467, Haley quotes her daddy, who "taught her the words of a very wise man":

You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away, know when to run.

To wich Belkar replies "The man makes some fine roast chiicken."

At the time I first read it, I thaught he was referring to Haley's father. Never having read "On the Origin of the PCs", I assumed they knew each other. But it later turns out, they never met until much later.

I just googled the text, and it is obviously from a song named The Gambler.

But I am still clueless how it is connected to roast chicken. What am I missing?

The song is sung by Kenny Rogers, who created the Kenny Rogers Roasters.
