And now that I've watched the episode, I can give the backstory. One of the poker players had this hideous nervous tic, in which he'd move his huge, cowlike tongue back and forth to the sides of his mouth and seemingly gnaw on it.
This guy also was incredibly irritating. He would constantly say, "quack quack," which is when you bet $22,000 ... needless to say, there's backstory upon backstory for the origin of that phrase.
He had an elongated Missing-Link-style forehead, mismatched nostrils (one was twice the size of the other), and he kept gnawing on his own tongue. He was, indeed, the ugliest man ever to chew on his own tongue and say "quack."
As for adding el_destructo, excellent. Though he doesn't post much. He also has a weekly comic strip, Basic Instructions, over at basic_inst, which I think is quite worth adding.
