Isn't that the guy from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
No, that's what a Hunter looks like...

I have a similar problem; for some reason (probably the way I speak) many people hear my name (Jamie) as (Jeremy). I have a very different view of what a Jeremy looks like than a Jamie. I thought I was alone in this weirdness. Looks like im not. Thanks Rick Rex.

Jeremy? Paxman? Clarkson? Bowan? Vine? It seems everybody on TV is a Jeremy today. Every Tom Dick and Harry is a Jeremy!

They're all Brandon's here. On average there were at least 3 Brandon's in each of my classes coming up through school. Not all blatantly Brandon, but Brannon, Brendan, Brendon, Branden, Brennen. It was always a happy day when someone got your spelling of Brandon right...

To me, Rick is a cross-dressing nazi warmonger who eats a lot of cotton candy and enjoys vomiting on people while they sleep.

So I'm using some voice recognition software (testing it for a company) and whenever it hears my name "Rex" it outputs the text "Rick" instead. I've emailed the support team and notified them of the quirk. I went on to explain that I don't feel like a "Rick" so I said I would have to lift some weights and go buy a Corvette so that I could manage the identity crisis a bit better. This humor of course made me wonder how many people on CP I could distract into telling me what there stereotype of "Rick" would be. So when you think of "Rick" picture him pulling up to meet you for lunch at a restaurant. - What car/motorcycle/unicycle/etc... would he drive? - Thinning hair? Full head of hair? Long hair? - Sunglasses? - Overweight? You get the idea. What's your perception of Rick? I need to know so that I can resolve my own identity crisis as I have to live with being Rick from now on.:-D
Rick drives a ferrari, not a new one but a used one. No one really knows they just assume he is wealthy but the crippling payments for the $45k, circa 80's model Ferrari gives him the confidence to drive around with his long brown hair ... well its not his, the hair club for men helped him out, again no one but him knows. Short in stature and self esteem he is slender for no other reason then that his build The dark sunglasses hide his eyes, bloodshot from the late nights, cheap alcohol and frequent cigarette breaks. Looking at his hands there is a sharp tan line on the left ring finger.

Rick is a middle aged, slightly overweight, no one. He never did anything of value, but never upset anyone, balding hair, lonely, drives a yugo when it actually goes. He never does get it fully fixed because the car maintenance workers like the extra income, and he accepts it. He orders sandwhiches with mayo, and gets mustard but never takes it back, only accepts it and eats it anyway. Think balding middle aged version of "chuck" from the beginning of Night Shift. don't you feel better now? ;P

I'd expect him to be: * ownwer of the restaurant * cynic * drunk think Bogart in Casablanca

I have tested voice recognition software in the past and I am not sure they can do any thing to fix or even test this error being that everyones voice is different and everyone will have a different training file. There are a lot of factors that come into play here. The most important is how clearly you spoke (especially during training) and how long you spent with the training part. I have found out that in order to get decent results you have to train your voice to talk to the software and then no matter what the companies say small and most used words ( a an the ...) are a crap shoot at best and longer less said words are usually easy for the software to recognize.

As our infamous joke goes.... setting up voice recognition here is just bad news.... operator: "Hey Fred lets go to lunch." computer: "preparing to launch."

Rick has a long brown hair, balding in the back, with a style roughly following a shaggy mullet. Rich is middle age, suffering from a paunch, somewhat tallish, and has extremely pale skin, and wears sun glasses for no reason whatsoever, other than a vain attempt to look "cool". Rick may or may not have been in a band that wrote sad little pop tunes back in the 80's. Rick's face has *not* aged gracefully, with skin looking rather like Keith Richard's on a good day. Rick is an annoying twit who has somehow managed to attract and keep a supermodel for a wife (almost certainly through the use of leftover mind altering drugs he received from the CIA to infiltrate and corrupt 3rd world Communist countries in the late 80's). Rick is unstable, and you should be careful about what you say. Don't bring up cars.

Does Rick remember any of that, or was his "slate wiped clean" upon discharge from the CIA?

Rick is a circus midget. He has greedy eyes that follow your wife as you pass. He has a greasy mullet that he is constantly slicking back. When he isn't taking tickets to the freak show, he is applying for the "I didn't know that sexy stripper was my mom" show on Jerry Springer. I recommend you stay away from him! Hogan

I think the jury is still out on Rick's memory.
