"The Rick Show"

Back again with our internet search for other Rick Shows.   Parts of this one are easily the most un-family friendly video I've ever posted.  Not really "safe for work" due to language, as well.   It's a shame, because it's a video made on Xtranormal.   You may be familiar with the videos that you can make there.

I really don't know how to explain this one at all.  Watch it, skip around, whatever you want.  Luckily(?)  this guy created a compilation of his videos a couple month ago, so I don't have to choose which video to post.

I'm starting to get disturbed by the The Rick Shows that I'm finding.

Histo'rick'al Figures: Cardinal Richelieu

(ed note:  This is post #100 for Rick Show!  In honor of this historic moment, We'll use a post that is historical as we move into the future. Also, I've included some bonus video, so be sure to follow after the jump.)

You may not know much about this guy (I didn't).  Cardinal Richelieu was a famous Frenchman from the 17th century.  He became a bishop in 1608, a Cardinal in 1622 and was the chief minister to King Louis XIII from 1624-1642.  He was also portrayed as one of the bad guys in The Three Musketeers, both in the book and in the movies.  From what I can tell, he was "kind of a big deal."

(He may or may not have looked like this.  I believe there was only one of him in real life, though)

Before you go and "read" all about him, though, why not follow along after the jump and get 
educated via video?

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is an author, mostly of books you'll find in the children's room of your local library.  He wrote the popular Percy Jackson series of books about teens and Greek mythology.  He also wrote The Kane Chronicles, about teens and Egyptian mythology, and the Heroes of Olympus series (sequel to the Percy Jackson set) that includes both Greek and Roman mythology.  I'll admit I've read them all.  They're easy reads, and you end up learning some about mythology in the process.  According to the wikipedia page for Rick, he's tentatively scheduled to start a Norse series in 2015. 

I'm not sure if most kids today would know anything about mythology and some of this history without books like his, so I appreciate what he's doing in making books that include some unique educational aspect.

The first Percy Jackson book was also made into a movie (which Rick was not involved in), and it looked bad, so I didn't watch it.  Stick to the books.

He also wrote series of adult books about a Texas private eye named Tres Navarre.  I found those books reasonable as well when I was looking for a summer read.  Not the best ever, but certainly not bad.

Here Rick is talking a few years back about his children's books and how the first ones came to be.

Happy New Year!

The New Year is when many people make goals for the upcoming year to improve themselves.   Based on what TV and the internet tell me, a lot of those goals have to do with getting in better shape physically or losing weight.  Fear not, friends, Rick Show has exactly what you're looking for:

(plus, you get to wear awesome clothes!)
