Famous Rices in History IV

In an effort to find a good name for our unborn child, we have decided to look at famous Rices (unrelated as far as we know) to name the kid after. Part FORE!:


Uncle Ben Rice
Purveyor of fine long grain white rice; available in box or bag.
Pros: "Uncle Ben's brings more to the table." Did you know that their Web site boasts 38 different types of rice, 2 types of soup AND 2 types of rice pudding?
Cons: It's a dude on a box. And he's not real. We've got more in common with the Quaker Oats guy.

Anne Rice
Spinner of tales including The Vampire Chronicles and some naughty stuff involving Sleeping Beauty.
Pros: She's obviously highly creative. And rich. Maybe if we name our child after her s/he will be in line for some of that mad Vampire cash in the will.
Cons: She creeps me out. And since she wrote the books - I hold her personally responsible for subjecting me to Tom Cruise in a blonde wig and frilly shirts.

Jerry Rice
Only the greatest wide receiver ever.
Pros: 197 career received touchdowns. 1,549 career catches. Need I go on? No? Good, becasue I know nothing about sports statistics. I had to lift all that from Wikkipedia.
Cons: Four words. Dancing. With. The. Stars. I never watched the show - but I know a train wreck when I see one. My how far the mighty have fallen.

Condoleeza Rice
George W.'s Right-Hand of Doom and Secretary of State
Pros: She's smart, speaks several languages, she's in a position of authority and just look at that beautiful smile.
Cons: Ummm ... I really can't go into that. Let's just say it shouldn't be much of a problem in a couple of years.
