The Rick, according to Wikipedia.

Sadly, I attempted to enter in a page in Wikipedia filed under "Hoesing" and "The Rick." It was deleted in a shorter amount of time than it took to write it. So I guess it will be relegated to Heavy Soul. Here is what I had intelligently copied, but obviously doesn't have everything I wrote. So, in the spirit of the Wikipedia, add on to what it is "The Rick" is and symbolizes. (Damn it, it really cut off a lot. I spent a lot of got damned time writing this, for apparently almost-nothing)

Hoesing, Rick. Also known as "The Rick," and "Therick."

"The Rick" is a famous nickname for a living legend of the Omaha (NE) bar and music scene. The Rick is known for things such as, but not limited to:

-"Jewish Speed Round." Drinking game where participants sit in a circle and, in a pressure-packed setting, are required to name famous Jews when it is their turn. Not being able to name a famous Jewish person (or an answer deemed acceptable by The Rick) results in taking a drink. There are several variations to "Jewish Speed Round," such as "Jam Band Speed Round" (where participants attempt to come up with fictional names for would-be jam bands, such as "Mike's Brown Sweater").

-"Inappropriate Threesomes." As one could imagine, this game is pretty self-explainitory. Similar to Jewish Speed Round, participants sit in a circle. Because this game was invented in the past year or so, the circle is mainly because this game has been played almost exclusively at bars (and recently reincarnated in a MySpace comment game). Also, unlike Speed Round, it is not so much a drinking game as it is a humorous way to pass the virtually endless hours away spent at bars, and is more focused on the general amusement of The Rick and the guests of his table. Sample answer: George W. Bush, Helen Thomas, and

Comments:
I think I remember sitting at Ricks over spring break one year and playing "Race Confused Speed Round" also pretty self explainitory. Names like Eminem, Karl Malone, Kirby Pucket were most popular.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I am co-creator of both of these games.

Thank you.
 
I am honored. And in the spirit of humility, Pete did help mold each of these games.
