So I do some research and find a 1991 independent film titled Queen of Diamonds. I thought it was a very obscure allusion, glad I figured it out before trying to locate that movie.

I can't. What can I say that hasn't been said? Nothing. That was the best writing about writing I've ever read. As an aspiring sports journalist this was inspiring, insightful and fun.

While in grammar school, Rulon was impaled by an arrow in a show-and-tell incident. In 2002, Gardner was stranded on a wilderness snowmobile trip and had to have a toe amputated after suffering frostbite. In 2004, he was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle. In February 2007, Gardner and two others crashed a Cirrus SR-22 airplane into Lake Powell. After surviving the impact, they were forced to swim in 44 °F (7 °C) water for over an hour. The three survived overnight without shelter or fire in 28 °F (?2 °C) air temperature. His amazing luck streak continued when a fisherman, out of his usual route, found and picked them up in the morning check out this follow up from wiki:
