If I'd known you were coming, I'd have shaved my beard

Da "parody on da cake-baking saying" remark dat you smilingly say to a cute chick whom you've unexpectedly met somewhere, and you are savoringly pressing her soft warm palms against yer fuzzy cheeks.
I always love joking around about, "If I'd known you were coming, I'd have shaved my beard" wif pretty girls whom I befriend; said humorous remark always gets da biggest amused giggle-fits outta dem.

Deal with the cards you were dealt and be a Dual Master.

A phrase about owning your situation instead of blaming it. “Deal with the cards you were dealt and be a Dual Master” means you don’t waste energy wishing for better circumstances — you master what you already have.

“Dual Master” refers to mastering both sides of yourself: strengths and flaws, emotion and logic, offense and defense. It’s about balance, control, and adaptability — not luck.

The phrase was first said by Arteobis after an early setback, and it stuck because the meaning applies to anyone: you can’t choose your starting hand, but you can choose how well you play it.
