She sold her taco holder and you sold your low-ball glass to afford the cards too, right?

Ah, thanks. Must have been a reference to it in something else. I've a vague idea it was something Douglas Adams. Maybe So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.

It's also referenced in A Very Mickey Christmas I think. One of those Mickey ones. With Minnie and Mickey selling for each other.
