Rickey Fans Please Read

Hi everyone,

Based on the Rickey glossary (see below), Rickey has suggested a "trivia" game! But I'm about tapped out of ideas.

I HAVE TWO REQUESTS: Would you:

1. Read over the glossary and post any stories, phrases etc that were left out?

2. Suggest trivia questions like "who was the first cellcaster?" BTW you have to know the answer! My cougar-aged memory cells are not what they used to be

Rickey and I would both appreciate it and it might help anyone suffering "cellcast withdrawal."

*******************************************************************

HERE IS THE GLOSSARY AS IT APPEARS IN RICKEY'S THANK YOU BOOK FROM DC.ORG:

Cellcaster = willing concert goer who volunteers to let us listen in on the concert during one or more idol sets.

Cellcasting 101 = a class we have threatened to hold to pass on the collective knowledge and experience gained by our wonderful cellcasters! Related: Pocketcasting = putting cell phone in pocket to leave hands free for outstretching toward Cookie and whoopin' it up in general. Floorcasting = leaving cell phone on floor to avoid prying eyes of security in overly strict venues. Pursecasting = putting the cell phone in your purse, again, to evade security! Very surprising no one “Bracasted”!

"Underwater" and "Wind Tunnel" cellcasting effects. Depending on the venue, the sound that comes thru to the listeners thru the cell phone>Rickey's> us can be "interesting." BUT WE LOVE OUR CELLCASTERS NO MATTER WHAT! We complain but we get over it and back to gratitude FAST. (Thanks BLake)

Buscaster = willing concert goer who volunteers to fight the crowds out by the buses and let us listen in on the fun. Buscasters also tell the idols we are listening in and often ask the idols for a Rickey shoutout. More about these shoutouts later.

Janay or J’nai or Jenay or Jonai or Jenais or Jene or Ganay or ???. One of the first buscasters. As Rickey and the chatters waited anxiously for a shoutout from Archie, she started screaming at the top of her lungs indicating that the aforementioned idol was right in front of her. All of a sudden everything goes quiet…Rickey’s panic face appears. When we finally get her back and ask what happened about the shoutout, she shrieks “OMG” and bursts into multiple apologies! In her excitement, she had lost all control of her senses and forgot. She then took off running after Archie while Rickey went into spasms of laughter! Note: buscasters are always under duress; fighting crowds, trying to avoid smacking …ur… stepping on little kids, attempting to keep their wits about them, protecting their eardrums, holding too many items, dodging RUDE fans. They deserve hazard pay! Oh wait, they are volunteers.

OPS = Operations/Operators. Main chat room guests Rickey knows and trusts. He gives them "ops" privileges so they can kick trolls, spammers and haters out of the main chat room when spotted. The waiting room unfortunately cannot have "OPs" to protect it.

Cutie Pah = Anything or anyone we think is as awesomely adorable as a teddy bear (or whatever YOU think is really cute).

OPS Training = New OPS tend to be trigger happy, kicking chatters out at the least suggestion of a Rickey slight, spamming, questionable language or just plain old annoying questions. These new ops are highly encouraged to take OPS training to avoid unnecessary kicking and the huge regret that follows. The training is so that OPS ≠ OOPS!

BWOE (pronounced like Bro with a lisp) = Best Worst Ops Ever. Specifically, Helen91, a cutie pah Canuck, Archie fan and Ops-in-Training who on her first night as an OP kicked several would be decent Rickey viewers out of the main chat urged on by the Rickey regulars. She just needed a little Ops training, though, and then she was stellar!

Prison = Nickname for the waiting room. The main room only holds 150 chatters - everyone else winds up in the waiting room. It's nicknamed prison because, until recently, there were no ops to control trolls and you can't take part in the main chat. Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrr!

Lasagnas = Trolls, spammers, haters. During one of Rickeys first cellcasts, something happened to the cellcaster and Rickey and his guests listened through another blogger's cellcast from the concert. The "Webmistress from Hell" from that blogsite apparently didn't like us listening, and disrupted the cellcast by talking over the concert including reading a Lasanga recipe during Archie's set! Forever after, trolls have been called "Lasagnas" at Rickey's. It's also the reason Rickey displays a recipe on the screen during Archie's set.

Comfort Fedoke = "Serenity Now". This is one of my favorites! Comfort Fedoke was a contestant on So You Think you Can Dance this season. That is her REAL name! At Rickeys we "chant" Comfort Fedoke to calm ourselves and/or Rickey down when stressful things happen - like technical difficulties. SYTYCD = So You Think You Can Dance. Many different variations have evolved - "What the Fedoke?", "Who the Fedoke?", "Fedoke that!" etc. One night Rickey had the whole chat room hypnotized by repeating Comfort Fedoke for at least 10 minutes straight. It backfired on him though because then we couldn't leave. He had to entertain us for the rest of the night!

"What the Frack!" = From Battlestar Galactica. Not sure what it means there but for Rickey, it’s his PG version of "What the f***".

Fatatay = Code word for what Rickey heard his neighbors doing one day.

"Magic Rainbows" = "Time of My Life". We took so much to the now famous TOML lyric that we renamed the song - lovingly! Oh, and David Cook approves of Magic Rainbows. (Thanks SV4DC)

Bipolar Rickey = Rickey when he goes from sweet and laughing to tough and ranting in less time than Michael Phelps won his Olympic 100-meter Butterfuly race by (1 100th of a second).

Zen Rickey = Rickey's state of being when he came back from a retreat where we suspect he played naked volleyball.

GARBLEMUFFINS = Spammers came over twice from another Blog TV room and spammed GARBLEMUFFINS as part of a "blog war". Rickey regulars are in the process of evolving this phrase for their own purposes! WE OWN IT NOW – DO YOU HEAR US BRENT???

Free the Gnomes. David Cook grabbed a "Free the Gnomes" sign from an audience member during a concert and entreated the audience several times to do just that - Free the Gnomes! Oh yeah and, what the frack, - free the garblemuffins too!

MANESHA- LOVESHA-BOOBESHA-OPTIONAL. This is a LONG LONG story - I'll try to summarize. During AI season, Rickey supported Syesha but, in his opinion, she never had a large fanbase and didn't thank the fanbase (the Fanesha 300) that she had. Rickey went with a Fanesha 300 sign to Regis and Kelly when Syesha was on. However, even though Rickey was her only fan in attendance, she did NOT acknowledge him as she passed by him within very close proximity. When a buscaster asked Syesha for a Rickey shout out, she stated Rickey had said bad things about her. Rickey felt dissed so in support of him we started calling Syesha - Manesha. Mean + Syesha. THEN, Rickey and Syesha started professing love for one another so we called her LOVESHA. THEN, Rickey attended the After Party in Newark and WAS ESCORTED OUT. We all suspected Sy was the one who requested his removal. As a result of this incident, AND Syesha prominently displaying her breasts via a skimpy concert costume, we started calling her BOOBESHA. As far as we know, the person(s) who had Rickey removed has never been identified. Eventually, we did not want to be so mean to Syesha by calling her Boobesha. Currently, we refer to her as “Optional” – meaning that cellcasting her set each night is optional—but certainly not necessary. (Truthfully? - we almost never listen to her anymore). A side note: a chatter actually found a pic of a statue of a goddess named MANESHA and she is the GODDESS OF SNAKES! The picture was floating around for awhile.

Pee and Poo = names of two of Rickey's stuffed animals based on their color. There are many other members of the menagerie that I'm sure you have seen. I mention these two here because when I first saw people typing their names I yelled "Lasagna!" Pee often makes an appearance during Brooke's set. One night Rickey put Pee inside his 10 inch pan (see below) and danced around with it. We yelled "Free the Pee!" (Thanks Queen Maeva)

PUPPY JOHNS = Michael Johns' puppy. One of our own DCorgers coined this phrase when the picture of MJ and his puppy first came out and before we knew the puppy's name was actually "David Puddy". Rickey loves to say Puppy Johns and when he does we type it back to him furiously. He also has a Puppy Johns rap - "Puppy Johns....Puppy Johns...PuppyJohns lemme love you lemme love you PuppyJohns". The first buscasters asked idols to say Puppy Johns for us and all did (even MJ) EXCEPT Cookie. Cookie said "Kitty Castro" instead which we loved! We sometimes say "RastaKittyCastro" just for fun.

Mammoth = A very favorite stuffed animal menagerie member. You can't miss him when he makes an appearance - huge tusks and trunk. I call him Wooly Mammoth. We LURV Mammoth. Awww.

Ukele NEMO = During Jason's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", Rickey's stuffed NEMO becomes a Ukele as Rickey plays the heck out of the little fishy.

Dantern = Danny. Danny is a young blogger Rickey has hired to do the show when he cannot. Rickey calls him his intern-in-training. So we call him Dantern. Danny is very sweet, prone to bad language sometimes, but always obliges us when we ask him to do a Cookie like backbend or water bottle dousing. He has a stuffed animal we named Pinky Fedoke. Danny allegedly looks exactly like Corbin Blue (sp?) who I don't know but this is why Rickey or chatters will call Danny "Corbin" every now and then. Lately, Danny has had some teenage angst trouble. Comfort Fedoke to you Dantern!

Intern. NOT to be confused with Dantern. Intern (or stupid Intern) is an American Idol employee Rickey imagines (or knows?) is the cause of nasty doings that happen on tour - i.e. the letters sent to the idols demanding they stop the "foolishness" during Please Don't Stop the Music.

Butt Dialing = when someone has their cell phone in their back pocket and the pressure causes the phone to dial the last number called- sometimes repeatedly. And, if it's a cellcaster, the last number dialed is Rickey!

Pew Pew Pew = think the sound some video games make when you are shooting. When Dantern (see above) did his first guest purge (kicking out unregistered guests to make room for the registered) he said "Pew, Pew, Pew" while kicking them out. We now "pew" during every guest purge.

FTW = For the win. Not sure where this came from but when someone does something great we say their name and then "For the Win." Example: "Emily for the win!" FTEW = For the EPIC Win! And finally, the ultimate, FTWW = For the Win Win. So, follow me here, FTWW = FTWW. Got it?

Stickey Note FTW. Archie’s Crush vid was leaked and Rickey ran it on a loop for an entire cellcast (and nearly killed Helen 91, see Supah Stah Award section). Each time the part where Archie and his “crush” exchange stickey notes in the video, Rickey put one on his forehead as an homage.

Live Show = At the end of the concert Rickey dances to a Cold Play or Thalia song with pixelation on so he can at least take his shirt off - hee hee. That is his live show! We are waiting for the night he forgets the pixelation.

Sushi Shake. Rickey ALWAYS eats during the show. In fact, it has become a compulsion with regular chatters to find out what he is eating and to watch him eat it. One night he had sushi and a milkshake and it did NOT sit well with him. Later on, one of his stuffed animals had to host the show while Rickey dealt with the after effects of his "sushi shake." Rickey has also either eaten, or threatened to eat, cactus on the show. Other wierd food he has consumed: lychee (asian fruit), naked lettuce, and milkfish (Google it!).

The Chalet. Haven't heard this one in awhile but it used to be a blogger's page that interested guests would go to after the Rickey show to say anything they want to about DC! Definitely at least R rated I've heard but I have never been there (honest).

JasonsMom = Jason's Mom. She joins the chat to hear Jason's set fairly often - hasn't been around lately though. It has been confirmed that it is really Jason's mom. She has talked to Rickey on the phone and she is the one who got him After Party passes for the New Jersey show. We told her the "Kitty Castro" story and she LOVED it. She even repeated it on another blogger's show. Chatters also call her by her first name - Betsy. Jackie is her daughter (Jason's sister) who just turned 13. Wonderful woman. Try not to bombard her with questions if you see her in the chat.

"I just want to be loved!!" = Rickey's lament when lasagnas spew hatred at him in the chat!

CarlySmithson = ?. We have not confirmed if it is her for real or not. My opinion is it's probably her.

Ace Bucket. Rickey went to Ace Young's (former idol) premier for his new CD. Afterwards he broadcast the concert with Danny from his hotel room. Since he didn't have his stuffed animals with him, he hugged a pillow and an ice bucket instead! Ever since, we have asked him to get an ice bucket for home and add it to his collection. Name of ice bucket of course - "Ace."

Arts and Crafts. Rickey has only done it once but he made his "Archie Wings" that he now wears during Archie's set. I highly recommend watching Rickey's recording of when he made the wings. It's posted at his site and is called "DIY Arch Angel." It is very funny.

Bendy Dave, Wet Cookey, and Cookie Tushey pictures. I doubt I have to explain any of these at this point. Rickey definitely plays to the Cookie fans during his set and knows what we like!

Little Bro =David Archuleta

Billie Jean Sex = DC fans going crazy during Billie Jean encouraged by Rickey's photo antics on screen! (Thanks Mocha) This song is sooo hot it “cookified” chatter Iluvearchie instantly! Iluve wore Cookie red in the chat forever after!

'Plode or 'Ploding = DC fans' excitement bursting forth during his set. Any further interpretation, definition or synonyms are left up to your imagination! Non-Rickey ORIGIN and use of 'PLODE - a clip from AI where David talks about Eta Carinae (largest star in the Milky Way galaxy), and that it was going to explode or implode or just plode. Now it is usually used to describe fangirl reaction to David.

"AH" as word ending replacement. To emphasize certain words, we often replace the ending with "AH." Examples: Super star becomes Supah stah, EVER becomes EVAH as in Best Show EVAH. You get the idea. Variation - use "EH" instead - Tummy becomes TUMMEH as in "I see David's amazingly awesome TUMMEH!"

Andy Skib = The lead singer of Midwest Kings (the band Cookie used to be in) who we learned about from an interview with GloZell as Andy stood waiting for Cookie at the Tonight Show. Imagine a band with David Cook where he is not the lead singer! However, Andy is great in his own right and is now performing under the name "To Have Heroes" (check it out on ITunes). Andy is so alone now (sniff) what with DC rocketing to supah stahdom and the Midwest Kings' lead guitarist, Neal Tiemann, running off with David. Alone or not Andy is a great listen with a different style than Cookie. Rickey has been very supportive of Andy as have many Cookie fans. Andy even jokes that he is going to steal all Cookie's fans - fat chance Andy but you can dream! Rickey has cellcast several Andy peformances. Andy and David are still very good friends and you can sorta see and hear Andy in David's VBlog (the one in the car). Also referred to as “Skiblet”.

Annette. Annette was mega-instrumental in posting Rickey threads at David-Cook.org, putting out emergency calls for cellcasters and just down right scrounging them up! She also lovingly orchestrated Rickey’s thank you gift. BUT, where is Annette in the chat? Anyone see her? Anyone? Buehler?

WorkingManders. Is just that - always working. In Rickey's chat she provides pre-show and post-show pictures and videos, breaking news, inside scoop and even makes us dinner! She is also supah stah Andy Skib cellcaster. If you run into her, just don't say the word "mattress."

WhatAFeelin = One of the regular chatters who also hosts the show sometimes when Rickey is unavailable. His real name is Jeff. Also known as "Barely Legal", "Jeffchuleta" and "WAF". He is 18 and has an identical twin named Travis who likes to moon us. He has 3 Siamese cats and many wives (don't ask) - we renamed his male cat "Kitty Castro." Jeff was psychic, sporting a post-it note on his forehead LONG before Archie’s Crush video was revealed. Jeff will also do water dousings for us and plays a mean air guitar.

Cameron = Kaitlynlee - a Rickey regular. She cellcasted and for some inexplicable reason Rickey called her Cameron all night - it stuck. (Thanks BLake)

Underthesheets = Underthestars - a Rickey regular. This one is a little easier to fathom. Rickey was doing his goodnight roll call (see below). When the name list cannot display the whole name because of size constraints it displays three dots (dot dot dot). Rickey saw “Underthes…” and made up the rest. That’s how “Underthestars” became “Underthesheets” - it stuck. (Thanks BLake)

Indomass = Rickey regular (Tos) who tried out for AI this year. Rickey told him he needed a good sob story to make it on to the show. Indomass picked...wait for it.....Herpes…or as Rickey calls it, The HERP. Indo was also Rickey's wingman during the After Party "incident. Towards the end of the tour, Indomass was holding sex education classes after Rickey's show—definitely not for the feint of heart.

10 Inch Pan. Rickey has an obsession with pans and collanders. He went shopping one day and showed us everything he got which included several of each of the aforementioned items. He then went on a long riff about how he wanted to get a "10 incher" and what he was going to do with it. Innuendos ensued from both Rickey and the chatters. He did, btw, buy the 10 inch pan.

Plant = Per Rickey, someone who auditions for American Idol who has previous experience in the music industry. Most obvious plant – Kristi Lee Cook, whose album came out immediately after the tour ended indicating it had been “ready-to-go” no matter where she finished in the competition. See Rickey’s Rant on his website.

Mavid Dance = The now ultra famous (infamous?) dance Cookie and MJ do during Please Don't Stop the Music at the end of the concert. They change it every night. TPTB (The Powers That Be) told them to stop the dance but us fans and MJ/DC won the battle to get it reinstated. Rickey helped lead the charge via a "Rickey Rant" posted on his site. Also known as the "Brodance".

Rickey's goodnight roll call sign-off procedure. If anyone else is old enough to remember Romper Room, that is what Rickey's process is like. He reads all the names of the people left in the chat room just before he stops broadcasting. If he misses a name, the Rickey fan feels VERY left out!

Secret Show. Rickey comes back on and does an “extra” show for those of us Rickey fans who have no lives and hang around all night in various BlogTV rooms missing Rickey after he has signed off. A secret show, of course, is not announced on his site—it’s for THE GUESTS THAT NEVER LEAVE MUAHAHAH. Secret shows are generally not rated PG.

Viva Pinata = Xbox game Rickey is addicted to, replete with all sorts of weird animals like Bonboons, Kittyflosses and Barkbarks. We tried to stage an intervention but we failed BIG time! I’m concerned, Rickey’s next line of work may be smuggling contraband parrots over the border!

T-shirt check. We always ask Rickey to show us the T-shirt he’s wearing because it is always ultra cool – probably the all time favorite (except for the vegetarians in the crowd): Meat is Murder, tasty tasty murder!

Rickey’s Mad Finger. When Rickey is mad and/or ranting he waggles his right index finger at the camera/chat room to get his point across and control the chatters. It’s very effective!

The final cellcast. All great things must come to an end and American Idol Summer Tour 2008 was no exception. The final cellcast was EPIC with Rickey in fine form despite all-night Viva Pinata. There was even a guest visit from Dantern and mucho mucho graciases from Rickey to all involved. Jason’s Mom, Betsy, even called to remind us to visit Jasoncastromusic.com for all our Jasoncastromusic.com needs. This was harder than expected given her cell phone reception. She finally figured out she had to stop walking AND moving and use her arm as an atennae.

Over 1300 people tuned in, far exceeding the previous cellcast average. Rickey regulars were spread out across the main chat and at least 3 prisons…ur waiting rooms…for the entire night. His site was so overwhelmed he had to reboot several times during the evening sending chatters into a thrilling game of musical chairs (or russian roulette?). Each time he had to reboot, chatters had no idea where they would end up. Would it be in the main chat? Would it be in prison #1 (the best fake main chat room evah), the dreaded prison #2 with the nazi-ops no one had ever heard of, or prison #3, full of unknown guests who didn’t know Rickey speak? As you were flung out into cyberspace all you could do was click your heels together and chant “there’s no place like Rickey’s main chat” or, “there’s no place like the best fake main room evah.” It took this glossary writer several minutes of whimpering and hugs from friends in the fake main chat room to recover from the trauma of prison #2 where the nazi-ops harrassed me for blessing other countries during KLC’s “God bless the USA.” (Sniff) Shout out to Klope who ran the fake main chat room and made it THE place to be.

Meanwhile, Rickey held down the fort beautifully, doing all our favorite schticks (Ukenemo etc.) It did appear that the stuffed animal cast was having a full-fledged orgy on the bed. Cellcasters out did themselves giving real time updates regarding the concert goings-on. The info actually started earlier in the day, with timely text messages being relayed from early buscasters to Annette who sent them to a fan in Canada who posted them on the fansites. We got all the info – which idols came out before the concert, Carly’s shopping spree, MJ’s antics with Brooke, Cookie’s antics with MJ, soggy Cookie and, of course, Zoolander Mavid and silly string.

Backing up a bit, when it came time for Rickey to put on his Archie wings for one last time, the tears started to flow. It truly was bittersweet.

As for the Rickey/AI Fans Season 7 – we live on in Rickey’s chat room watching shows we don’t care about just to be with Rickey and friends to ease the AI concert withdrawal symptoms. It’s clear, we will hang out with Rickey as long as he lets us!!

Olympics Section: We watched Olympics during concert intermissions so here is a special Olympics glossary section:

Wifey = Gymnast Alicia Sacramone. WhatAFeelin took a liking to her one night when we were watching Olympic gymnastics with Rickey. So we call her wifey - as in WhatAFeelin's imaginary wife. Unfortunately Alicia’s Olympic efforts were pretty much an Epic Fail, but WAF loves her anyway.

Gymnastics 101: Beam 101 - STAY ON THE BEAM!
Parallel Bars, Uneven Parallel Bars and High Bar 101 - CATCH THE BAR(s)!
Floor Exercise 101 - STAY IN BOUNDS, LAND ON YOUR FEET!
Vault 101 - STICK THE LANDING!
Pommel Horse 101 - STAY ON THE HORSE!

Lin Lin = Rickey's name for underaged Chinese Olympic gymnast - Lin Lin for the Win Win! Note: As of this writing the Chinese gymnasts are under official investigation for fielding underage athletes at the 2008 Olympics.

"I'm 10 Years Old" = What Rickey says when he sees Olympic Gold Medal winning Shawn Johnson ‘cause she looks so young.

(In booming Darth Vader voice) "I AM YOUR FATHER" = what Rickey says when Olympic Gold Medal winning Nastia Liukin appears on screen ‘cause her father/coach is so stern and scary looking.


Supah Stah Award Section

Supah Stah Cellcaster and Cell Phone. The award goes to...Newyoricanny and her Sony Ericcson Walkman. We were sooooooo spoiled after hearing the AI concert on that phone.

Supah Stah Buscaster. The award goes to…well there were many great nominees for this one but the award goes to one of the first – Emily for the Win Win! She got unprecedented shoutouts in both quantity and quality. And yes, she and Jason WOULD make beautiful babies together.

Supah Stah Multi-tasking Cellcaster. The award goes to...Krunkjess. She managed to cellcast brilliantly AND be all fangirly throwing Cookie his first pair of panties on tour (yes they were new, disguised and weighted for optimum throwing to boot!). Jess even had an encore performance, throwing hot pink panties on stage to Cookie at the finale who, in turn, threw them at Archie during “Please Don’t Stop the Music” (PDSTM). Archie’s flinging of said panties, giving the impression that he would die a thousand tortured deaths if they touched him one millisecond longer, was priceless and one of the tour highlights!

Supah Stah Behind-the-Scenes Help. The award goes to…Annette from David-Dash-Cook-Dot-Org. (See her entry above)

Supah Stah Fan Thud Heard Around the World. The award goes to…Helen 91 when she saw Archie’s leaked Crush video for the first time during a cellcast. Pretty sure there were over a hundred OMGs, and a plethora of various other exclamations, before she finally expired and we called 911. Rickey didn’t help matters by playing the Archie vid on a loop for the duration of the cellcast.

Supah Stah Guest Host. The award goes to…its’a TIE between Danny, Indomass and Barely Legal. We can’t pick Rickey, can you??? Maybe Jeff ‘cause he has more nick-names?

Supah Stah Chat Mom. The award goes to…DavidCookFanInFL. She let all us chatters call her Mom the whole time giving Rickey’s chat that warm, safe, homey feel!

Supah Stah Chat Name and Room Title Creator. The award goes to…Micstand – Mom’s daughter! Micstand’s name, I assume, is related to what Mr. David Roland Cook does to his micstand while performing. Micstand (Kris) hopes he might do the same to her? She also makes the best titles for above the chat room but most cannot be published

Supah Stah Fan Incident while Cellcasting. The Infamous Pick Battle at Green Bay. WellSeasonedCook (Peg or Frankenmom here on DC.org) was cellcasting in Green Bay and holding up a sign that read “Pick Me” so Cookie would throw a pick her way. He did, BUT the lady next to her thought it was for her – well here, I’ll let Peg tell:

"I kept yelling at her that it was my pick because it was my sign that he saw and he threw it to me. No, she says, he looked at HER and threw it to her. I yelled and showed her my sign. It’s my pick!! Well, I gave her one of my “don’t mess with me, I’ll hurt you for that PICK.” (I used to be a foreman for a Pulp Mill and supervised 15 burly men. I ain’t afraid of NO ONE). She gave me THE PICK!! I have no idea what you heard during the cellcast, but I never dropped the phone nor did I lose the connection. Mission accomplished."

And the final footnote – THE PICK is already framed!


Most Annoying Rickey Newbie Questions

Anytime a newcomer enters Rickey’s main chat (with good intentions or bad), they always seem to ask the same annoying quesitons! Here they are for posterity – in parentheses, are the answers Rickey fans give, or want to give:

•Why is this guy so popular? (Because he is Rickey and he is AWESOME)
•Is this guy ***? (What difference does it make, leave please or you will be pewed)
•Why do you have so many viewers? (Because he is Rickey and he is AWESOME)
•What is this show about? (Well, Rickey is a blogger who cellcasts American Idol – [insert schpiel])
•What is he eating? (Something weird, don’t ask)
•Why is everyone typing lasagna? (Because we suspect you are a garblemuffin)

Rickey's is all about LOVE! There are great fans there for each of the idols - many of us love several or all of them. As Cookie fans there for the whole concert we try to support them all - particularly the Archies. David would want us to! One way we do this is to change our text color when each idol is singing. Not all did this but most did and Rickey LOVED it. Here is the color chart for posterity:

•Chikezie = Grey
•Rami = Teal
•MJ = Orange
•Kristi Lee = Brown
•Carly = Pink or Light Purple
•Brooke = Yellow or Olive green
•Jason = Light Blue
•Syesha = Purple
•Archie = Green
•Cookie = HOT HOT Red

On The Oprah Show - Did Anyone Else Notice?

Did anyone else notice the athlete that took off his gold medal and put it up against Cookie's chest while he was singing? Whoever that athlete was - as the auusie's would say - "good on ya mate!"

Sorry, if this has been mentioned before - but I missed it if it has...

ATTENTION RICKEY FANS!!!

Hi Rickey fans,

As you may know, we are in the process of getting Rickey a thank you gift (see this link)
http://www.david-cook.org/A-Gift-for-Ricke...org-t12790.html

As a "card", we are going to print out the Rickey Cellcast Glossary (see this link)
http://www.david-cook.org/RICKEY-AMERICAN-...ARY-t12667.html

We thought it would be fun to "sign" the glossary as a card to go along with the gift. If you would like, please leave your signature and a note in this thread. I thought it would be fun to sign our names we use in the chat and then our real first names and to also include whether we cellcasted and what city. Like this:

Newyorcanny = Brenda (Superstah Cellcaster, Dallas TX)

Also if someone would like to post a David Cook related Rickey picture in here, we could use it as a "cover" for the glossary.

PLEASE POST YOUR SIGNATURES/MESSAGES BY SEPTEMBER 4. THANKS EVERYONE!

RICKEY AMERICAN IDOL CELLCAST GLOSSARY

Since this glossary wound up being posted at Rickey's and another internet site, I decided to make a thread where I can easly update it. All in the name of fun and David Cook!!!! Below are words and phrases created through Rickey's interactions with his chatters. Where known, I have given the creator of the term an "originator shoutout." If you know who first said any of these and would like an originator shoutout entered just let me know! I LOVE knowing who are creative geniuses are.

RICKEY.ORG AMERICAN IDOL TOUR CELLCAST GLOSSARY: (Last Updated: 8/29/2008 10:00PM CST)

Cellcaster = willing concert goer who volunteers to let us listen in on the concert during one or more idol sets.

Cellcasting 101 = a class we have threatened to hold to pass on the collective knowledge and experience gained by our wonderful cellcasters! Related: Pocketcasting = putting cell phone in pocket to leave hands free for outstretching toward Cookie and whoopin' it up in general. Floorcasting = leaving cell phone on floor to avoid prying eyes of security in overly strict venues.

"Underwater" and "Wind Tunnel" cellcasting effects. Depending on the venue, the sound that comes thru to the listeners thru the cell phone>Rickey's> to us can be "interesting." BUT WE LOVE OUR CELLCASTERS NO MATTER WHAT! (Thanks BLake)

Buscaster = willing concert goer who volunteers to fight the crowds out by the buses and let us listen in on the fun. Buscasters also tell the idols we are listening in and often ask the idols for a Rickey shoutout. More about these shoutouts later.

OPS = Operations/Operators. Main chat room guests Rickey knows and trusts. He gives them "ops" privileges so they can kick trolls, spammers and haters out of the main chat room when spotted. The waiting room unfortunately cannot have "OPs" to protect it.

Prison = Nickname for the waiting room. The main room only holds 150 chatters - everyone else winds up in the waiting room. It's nicknamed prison because there are no ops to control trolls and you can't take part in the main chat.

Lasagnas = Trolls, spammers, haters. During one of Rickeys first cellcasts, something happened to the cellcaster and Rickey and his guests listened through another blogger's cellcast from the concert. The "Webmistress from Hell" from that blogsite apparently didn't like us listening, and disrupted the cellcast by talking over the concert including reading a Lasanga recipe during Archie's set! Forever after, trolls have been called "Lasagnas" at Rickey's. It's also the reason Rickey displays a recipe on the screen during Archie's set.

Comfort Fedoke = "Serenity Now". This is one of my favorites! Comfort Fedoke was a contestant on So You Think you Can Dance this season. That is her REAL name! At Rickeys we "chant" Comfort Fedoke to calm ourselves and/or Rickey down when stressful things happen - like technical difficulties. SYTYCD = So You Think You Can Dance. Many different variations have evolved - "What the Fedoke?", "Who the Fedoke?", "Fedoke that!" etc. One night Rickey had the whole chat room hypnotized by repeating Comfort Fedoke for at least 10 minutes straight. It backfired on him though because then we couldn't leave, he had to entertain us for the rest of the night.

"What the Frack!" = Rickey's PG version of "What the ____".

Fatatay = Code word for what Rickey heard his neighbors doing one day.

"Magic Rainbows" = "Time of My Life". We took so much to the now famous TOML lyric that we renamed the song - lovingly! Oh, and David Cook approves of Magic Rainbows. (Thanks SV4DC)

Bipolar Rickey = Rickey when he goes from sweet and laughing to tough and ranting at spammers in less time than Michael Phelps won his Olympic 100-meter Butterfuly race by.

Zen Rickey = Rickey's state of being when he came back from a retreat where we suspect he played naked volleyball.

GARBLEMUFFINS= Spammers came over twice from another Blog TV room and spammed GARBLEMUFFINS as part of a "blog war". Rickey regulars are in the process of evolving this phrase for their own purposes!

Free the Gnomes. David Cook grabbed a "Free the Gnomes" sign from an audience member during a concert and entreated the audience several times to do just that - Free the Gnomes! Oh yeah, "Free the garblemuffins too"!

MANESHA- LOVESHA-BOOBESHA-OPTIONAL. This is a LONG LONG story - I'll try to summarize. During AI season, Rickey supported Syesha but in his opinion she never had a large fanbase and didn't thank the fanbase (the Fanesha 300) that she had. Rickey went with a Fanesha 300 sign to Regis and Kelly when Syesha was on. However, even though Rickey was her only fan in attendance, she did NOT acknowledge him as she passed by him within very close proximity. When a buscaster asked Syesha for a Rickey shout out, she stated Rickey had said bad things about her. Rickey felt dissed so in support of him we started calling Syesha - Manesha. Mean + Syesha. THEN, Rickey and Syesha started professing love for one another so we called her LOVESHA. A side note: a chatter actually found a pic of a statue of a goddess named MANESHA and she is the GODDESS OF SNAKES! The picture was floating around for awhile. Update: Rickey attended the After Party in Newark and WAS ESCORTED OUT. We all suspected Sy was the one who requested his removal. As a result of this incident, AND Syesha prominently displaying her breasts via a skimpy concert costume, we started calling her BOOBESHA. As far as we know, the person(s) who had Rickey removed has never been identified. Eventually, we did not want to be so mean to Syesha by calling her Boobesha. Currently, we refer to her as “Optional� – meaning that cellcasting her set each night is optional—but certainly not necessary.

Pee and Poo = names of two of Rickey's stuffed animals based on their color. There are many other members of the menagerie that I'm sure you have seen. I mention these two here because when I first saw people typing their names I yelled "Lasagna!" Pee often makes an appearance during Brooke's set. One night Rickey put Pee inside his 10 inch pan (see below) and danced around with it. We yelled "Free the Pee!" (Thanks Queen Maeva)

Mammoth = A very favorite stuffed animal menagerie member. You can't miss him when he makes an appearance - huge tusks and trunk. I call him Wooly Mammoth. We LURV Mammoth.

Ukele NEMO = During Jason's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", Rickey's stuffed NEMO becomes a Ukele as Rickey plays the heck out of the little fishy.

Butt Dialing = when someone has their cell phone in their back pocket and the pressure causes the phone to dial the last number called- sometimes repeatedly. And, if it's a cellcaster, the last number dialed is Rickey! Originator shoutout to BLake!

Dantern = Danny. Danny is a young blogger Rickey has hired to do the show when he cannot. Rickey calls him his intern-in-training. So we call him Dantern. Danny is very sweet, prone to bad language sometimes, but always obliges us when we ask him to do a Cookie like backbend or water bottle dousing. He has a stuffed animal we named Pinky Fedoke. Danny allegedly looks exactly like Corbin Blue (sp?) who I don't know but this is why Rickey or chatters will call Danny "Corbin" every now and then. Lately, Danny has had some teenage angst trouble. Comfort Fedoke to you Dantern!

Intern. NOT to be confused with "Dantern". Intern (or stupid Intern) is an American Idol intern Rickey imagines (or knows?) is the cause of nasty doings that happen on tour - i.e. the letters sent to the idols demanding they stop the "foolishness" during Please Don't Stop the Music.

Pew Pew Pew = think the sound some video games make when you are shooting. When Dantern (see above) did his first guest purge (kicking out unregistered guests to make room for the registered) he said "Pew, Pew, Pew" while kicking them out. We now "pew" during every guest purge.

FTW = For the win. Not sure where this came from but when someone does something great we say their name and then "For the Win." Example: "Emily for the win!" FTEW = For the EPIC Win!

Live Show = At the end of the concert Rickey dances to a Cold Play or Thalia song with pixelation on so he can take his shirt off - hee hee. That is his live show! We are waiting for the night he forgets the pixelation.

Sushi Shake. Rickey always eats at the beginning of the show. One night he had sushi and a milkshake and it did NOT sit well with him. Later on, one of his stuffed animals had to host the show while Rickey dealt with the after effects of his "sushi shake." Rickey has also either eaten, or threatened to eat, cactus on the show. Other wierd food he has consumed: lychee (asian fruit). Originator shoutout to BLake!

The Chalet. Haven't heard this one in awhile but it used to be a blogger's page that interested guests would go to after the Rickey show to say anything they want to about DC! Definitely at least R rated I've heard but I have never been there.

PUPPY JOHNS = Michael Johns' puppy. One of our own DCorgers coined this phrase when the picture of MJ and his puppy first came out and before we knew the puppy's name was actually "David Puddy". Rickey loves to say Puppy Johns and when he does we type it back to him furiously. He also has a Puppy Johns rap - "Puppy Johns....Puppy Johns...PuppyJohns lemme love you lemme love you PuppyJohns". The first buscasters asked idols to say Puppy Johns for us and all did (even MJ) EXCEPT Cookie. Cookie said "Kitty Castro" instead which we loved! We sometimes say "RastaKittyCastro" just for fun.

JasonsMom = Jason's Mom. She joins the chat to hear Jason's set fairly often - hasn't been around lately though. It has been confirmed that it is really Jason's mom. She has talked to Rickey on the phone and she is the one who got him After Party passes for the New Jersey show. We told her the "Kitty Castro" story and she LOVED it. She even repeated it on another blogger's show. Chatters also call her by her first name - Betsy. Jackie is her daughter (Jason's sister) who just turned 13. Wonderful woman. Try not to bombard her with questions if you see her in the chat.

CarlySmithson = ?. We have not confirmed if it is her for real or not. My opinion is it's probably her.

"I just want to be loved!!" = Rickey's lament when lasagnas spew hatred at him in the chat!

Ace Bucket. Rickey went to Ace Young's (former idol) premier for his new CD. Afterwards he broadcast the concert with Danny from his hotel room. Since he didn't have his stuffed animals with him, he hugged a pillow and an ice bucket instead! Ever since, we have asked him to get an ice bucket for home and add it to his collection. Name of ice bucket of course - "Ace."

Arts and Crafts. Rickey has only done it once but he made his "Archie Wings" that he now wears during Archie's set. I highly recommend watching Rickey's recording of when he made the wings. It's posted at his site and is called "DIY Arch Angel." It is very funny.

Bendy David, Wet Cookie, and Tushy pictures. I doubt I have to explain any of these on this site LOL. Rickey definitely plays to the Cookie fans during his set and knows what we like!

Little Bro = David Archuletta.

Billie Jean Sex = DC fans going crazy during Billie Jean encouraged by Rickey's antics on screen! (Thanks Mocha)

'Plode or 'Ploding = DC fans' excitement bursting forth during his set. Any further interpretation, definition or synonyms are left up to your imagination! Non-Rickey ORIGIN and use of 'PLODE - a clip from AI where David talks about Eta Carinae (largest star in the Milky Way galaxy), and that it was going to explode or implode or just plode. Now it is usually used to describe fangirl reaction to David. (Thanks ODCD et al)

WhatAFeelin = One of the regular chatters who also hosts the show sometimes when Rickey is unavailable. His real name is Jeff. Also known as "Barely Legal", "Jeffchuleta" and "WAF". He is 18 and has an identical twin named Travis. He has 3 Siamese cats and many wives (don't ask) - we renamed his male cat "Kitty Castro."

Indomass = Rickey regular who tried out for AI this year. Rickey told him he needed a good sob story to make it on to the show. Indomass picked...wait for it.....Herpes. Indo was also Rickey's wingman during the After Party "incident." Towards the end of the tour, Indomass was holding sex education classes after Rickey's show.

Cameron = Kaitlynlee - a Rickey regular. She cellcasted and for some inexplicable reason Rickey called her Cameron all night - it stuck. (Thanks BLake)

WorkingManders. Is just that - always working. In Rickey's chat she provides pre-show and post-show pictures and videos, breaking news, inside scoop and even makes us dinner! She is also superstah Andy Skib cellcaster. If you run into her, just don't say the word "mattress."

Mavid Dance = The now FAMOUS dance Cookie and MJ do during Please Don't Stop the Music at end of concert. They change it every night. If you have been on this site for any length of time, you know that TPTB (The Powers That Be) told them to stop the dance but us fans and MJ/DC won the battle to get it reinstated. Rickey helped lead the charge via a "Rickey Rant" posted on his site. Also known as the "Brodance".

10 Inch Pan. Rickey has an obsession with pans and collanders. He went shopping one day and showed us everything he got which included several of each. He then went on a long riff about how he wanted to get a "10 incher" and what he was going to do with it. Inuendos ensued from both Rickey and the chatters. He did, btw, buy the 10 inch pan.

Andy Skib = The lead singer of Midwest Kings (the band Cookie used to be in) who we learned about from an interview with GloZell as he stood waiting for Cookie at the Tonight Show. Imagine a band with David Cook where he is not the lead singer! However, Andy is great in his own right and is now performing under the name "To Have Heroes" (check it out on ITunes). Andy is so alone now (sniff) what with DC rocketing to superstardom and the Midwest Kings' lead guitarist, Neal Tiemann, running off with David. Alone or not Andy is a great listen. Different style than Cookie. Rickey has been very supportive of Andy as have many Cookie fans. Andy even jokes that he is going to steal all Cookie's fans - fat chance Andy but you can dream! Rickey has cellcast several Andy peformances. Andy and David are still very good friends and you can sorta see and hear Andy in David's VBlog (the one in the car).

"AH" as word ending replacement. To emphasize certain words we often replace the ending with "AH." Examples: Superstar becomes Superstah, EVER becomes EVAH as in Best Show EVAH. You get the idea. Variation on this theme - use "EH" instead - Tummy becomes TUMMEH as in "I see David's TUMMEH!"

Rickey's goodnight sign-off procedure. If anyone else is old enough to remember Romper Room, that is what Rickey's process is like. He reads all the names of the people left in the chat room just before he stops broadcasting. If he misses a name, the Rickey fan feels VERY left out!

Olympics Section: We watched Olympics during concert intermissions so here is a special Olympics glossary section:

Wifey = Gymnast Alicia Sacramone. WhatAFeelin took a liking to her one night when we were watching Olympic gymnastics with Rickey. So we call her wifey - as in WhatAFeelin's imaginary wife. Unfortunately Alicia’s Olympic efforts were pretty much an Epic Fail, but WAF loves her anyway. Note: As of this writing the Chinese gymnasts are under official investigation for fielding underage gymnasts at the 2008 Olympics.

Lin Lin = Rickey's name for underaged Chinese Olympic gymnast - Lin Lin for the Win Win!

Gymnastics 101: Beam 101 - STAY ON THE BEAM! Parallel Bars, Uneven Parallel Bars and High Bar 101 - CATCH THE BAR(s)! Floor Exercise 101 - STAY IN BOUNDS and LAND ON YOUR FEET! Vault 101 - STICK THE LANDING! Pommel Horse 101 - STAY ON THE HORSE!

"I'm 10 Years Old" = What Rickey says when he sees Olympic Gold Medal winning Shawn Johnson cause she looks so young.

(In Darth Vader Voice) "I am your father" = what Rickey says when Olympic Gold Medal winning Nastia Liukin appears on screen cause her father/coach is so stern and scary looking.

Summary: Rickey's is all about LOVE! There are great fans there for each of the idols - many of us love several or all of them. As Cookie fans there for the whole concert we try to support them all - particularly the Archies. David would want us to! One way we do this is to change our text color when each idol is singing. Not all do this but most do and Rickey LOVES it. Here is the color chart:

Chikezie = grey; Rami = Teal; MJ = Orange; Kristi Lee = Brown or Magenta; Carly = Pink or Light Purple; Brooke = Yellow or Olive green; Jason = Light Blue; Syesha = Purple; Archie = Green; Cookie = Red

Sorry this is so long but hope you enjoy it. Feel free to add, subtract or correct Rickey regulars! Hope to see you here AND at Rickey's. Any questions just ask!

Late Night Rickey

After the show last night Rickey called Jason's Mom who had actually been chatting during the broadcast! She is going to try and get him meet and greet passes and said that even family does not get back stage passes. He was freakin' that it was really her. He told all the chatters to be quiet when he called her and then realized she couldn't hear us typing - LMAO. Janae finally, finally called back and we heard Cookie in the background, and Archie talking to her. She was so flustered (of course) she forgot to have Archie give Rickey a shout out and ran after him to try and get it!!! She didn't get the shout out but Janae really went the distance - Rickey was thrilled!

There was talk of "cell bus casters" and we all agreed it would be a GREAT idea.

I'm sorry I don't remember more of the details of the Jason Mom call...a chatter recorded it so Rickey may have it on his site tomorrow.
