Rick Zap - (Cherry Ripe Candi)- n. Hypnotic beam emanating from The Man's eyes when making direct eye contact; pleasurable experience, but prolonged exposure (longer than, say, 1 second) renders the "victim" completely incapable of rational, coherent thought and/or speech for an extended period.

prioRICKty - (Cherry Ripe Candi)- n. means of establishing a framework for accomplishing (or not accomplishing) certain goals regarding The Man, based upon varying levels of importance per goal; as in, "Saving money for a trip to Vegas to see EFX is a higher prioRICKty than blowing it on a concert in Florida."

likeness of the Australian flag (note this guitar is no longer with us - may
it Rest In Peace!).

repeatedly from RS Chat!

Bucky - Another name for Rick's tour manager, Ronnie Grinel. He is paid
to be protective of Rick, but as generous as possible to the fans,
especially the loyal ones, and he does his job very well. One of the things
Bucky/Ronnie does is to blow a whistle to let the girls know when it's about
time they got off the stage when IGE is over with; he's rarely effective
with said whistle, however!

all other Rick songs are abbreviated regularly too (i.e., Affair of the
