Other Aliases:
Redcard, Rick, Rickety, Crickety, Mr. Spill, Little Ricky, Rick-E-Luv.
General Characteristics:
"Fiery," "volatile," "abrasive,"
"caustic," "tasteless," and "salty:" all were
words used to describe Redcard's cooking. His singular and perhaps unnatural
obsession with the hot chili pepper has become a defining characteristic and
indeed a form of religion for Ricky. Like the Self-Flagellating monks of Mantua
or Cheek-piercing Yanomami Indians, Redcard ritualistically and repeatedly sears
his taste buds and innards on whatever capsicum derived torture-juice he can
find.
As far as personality, a kind of duality about
Redcard exists in the eyes of the the other players. On the one hand, and with
the addition of a bit of alcohol, Redcard can get as hot and abusive as his
food, but nearly all polls included a word or two about his generosity, largess,
and thoughtfulness. "The only real gentleman in the game," reported
one player. However, another player added, "it kinda depends on the
day and the drink". "He could show up with a cake and a birthday gift
for you at 8:00 and throw a chair at you at 10:30."
Redcard's innovations and contributions to the
game include the patented "Lock-Fold", the armpit "Sniff 'n
Blow," the goofy hat, the equally goofy shirt, and of course, the
double-spill.
Most Likely To:
Spill, Spontaneously combust, get "Beer-Belligerent", get tossed from
a volleyball game, make things over-complicated, apply hot sauce, defend his
point (no matter how wrong) to the death, break into song, berate squirrels,
"drink like no bodies (sic.) business, attend Jazz-Fest, spill again, and
unfortunately, cook.
Least Likely To:
Break wind, compromise, contradict Hank, explain a technology in any
understandable way, flake, eat excessively, wear prada, get married (or so he
says.)
When not playing poker he's:
Building the bomb.
