Ricketts, IA

Remember a long time ago when Rick Show brought you the story of Rickardsville, IA?  Regardless, I've recently found out that there's another small town, Ricketts, IA, that I should make note of.  It's in Crawford county, in the western part of the state.  Population 145.

Ricketts was founded in 1899 as a result of the Boyer Railroad Company building a line in the county.  It is believed that the town got its name from a Mr Ricks that had recently died.  You can browse the rest of origins of the town here.

Uncle Rick Show

Seems like it's been a little while since I've went searching YouTube for other Rick Shows.  Today we find something called "Uncle Rick Show."  In fact, let's have the first TWO episodes as a bonus (there are a few. perhaps we'll come back to this later)

Pretty Ricky

A loyal reader sent me a link recently to an article from LA Weekly entitled, Top 20 Worst Bands of All Time.  First off, let me say that the list is a wrong.  Just wrong.  But as I was browsing, I noticed #15:

15. Pretty RickyEmerging with their mid-aughts hit "Grind With Me," Pretty Ricky somehow managed to lower the bar when it came to heartthrob groups with baby-oil-smeared chests. It's excellent that they've got great abs, and they certainly have the right to wear their shiny jackets wide open. But their musical sensibilities are questionable; someone in the group seems to have decided that New Jack Swing was too subtle. Pretty Ricky's rap-R&B hybrid is so tasteless and tacky, even, that it could make Mariah Carey blush. The point here is seduction, but it's hard to be seduced when you're nauseous. -Ben Westhoff



Now, I don't know anything about Pretty Ricky, so maybe they are that bad.  But #15 worst all time seems harsh.
In an effort to determine if the ranking is accurate, I went to youtube and found the video of their highest rated single, "Grind With Me" from 2005.
You judge for yourself:

Rick Grimes

(ed note: AMC had a Walking Dead marathon this past weekend, which allowed me to get in a lot of episodes, and decide on this post)

Rick Grimes (no relation to Frank Grimes) is the main character in The Walking Dead, a popular TV show on AMC as well as a graphic novel.

You can read more about him from the comics here or the TV show here.  I've never read the comics, and I recently started watching the TV show last season (season 3).  You should watch it as well. 
 Rick is played by actor Andrew Lincoln in the TV show, who appears to have little in the way of a rick-history prior to this role.


You want to know who Rick Grimes is?  Luckily, AMC has a video that answers that exact question!

Ricky (movie)

Well, this is interesting.  I mean that.  I stumbled upon this trailer from a 2009 French film, Ricky:

I don't use Netflix and it's not at my local library.  I haven't seen it, but I'm still going to recommend that someone out there does.  (FYI, 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, 53 Metacritic)
