Say what you will about Christopher Walken, but he is definitely [not poker](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGR8t4rSMUU). Also, he probably isn’t the guy you want to have reading you a [bedtime story](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp_a9TLISoM). (It’s not Walken, but it’s from a movie that had him in it, so: [gimme the “busket.”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qZPlnV9ctQ)) ---
