 RICE ROCKET #3e8  JAMMER, BLOCKER Delicate as a lily and sweet as cherry blossom, Rice was the pride of her strict, traditional family. Little did they know that her precious exterior hid a fierce intelligence and the burning need for speed! Rice wasn't like other girls who obsessed over lipgloss and Hello Kitty...Her fantasies were filled with chassis, transmission mounts, superchargers and T-gauges. Her parents became concerned when she picked up English from reading Hotrod Magazines. Then, the real trouble began when she tricked out Daddy's rickshaw with a hemi engine and racing flames and challenged the local boys to street races. Much to her family's dismay it wasn't long before she was known as the Queen of the Rickshaw derby. Rather than allow her to bring more dishonor to the family, Rice was given two options: She would wed a 65 year old pig farmer and spend her life beating his laundry on a rock and caring for his 36 children. Or she would be sold to the local sweat-shop. She knew it was time to bust out of this rice paddy, but where to? She thought of all those secret, forbidden longings: Hotrod engines, rollerskating and haircuts that don't require bowls...All could be found in Texas! She hopped on a fishing boat and made way for America. It wasn't long before she hooked up with a girl gang who were faster than a speeding rickshaw and meaner than the Yakuza. They introduced Rice to the wild world of rock-n-roller derby and she never looked back! If you see this lil' China Doll in your rear-view you best change lanes! |
