Who are you?
I am Richie Brinker the so called feisty one.

What's your favorite food?
Bean and cheese burritos, along with a cup of white rice - AKA Brinker Special

Who's been your role model?
Scrappy Doo - I ain't afraid of no ghost!

What's your biggest complaint about the other house?
Their kitchen isn't nearly as clean as ours.  Everytime I go over there, I'm knee deep in coffee grinds.

What's your favorite quote?
"It was a love for competition, and a desire to be first, a compulsion to surpass ordinary human limitations and achieve what other men cannot."

What's your secret to success?
A burning desire to lap everyone in the other house on the track while wearing flannel.
