Congratulations to Stick, who has demonstrated that he can play backgammon very well!

Stick is too polite to complain about how people write his name, so I will do it for him. Perhaps Stick can find the link to a post where he has stated that he is just Stick and not Stick Rice and not Jacob "Stick" Rice. Everyone on this site knows who you are talking about if you just say "Stick." Let's all stick to saying just "Stick."

On the other hand, I believe I have seen a photo of Stick wearing a T-shirt saying "Sticky Rice."

Quote from Wikipedia, "Glutinous rice (Oryza sativa var. glutinosa; also called sticky rice, sweet rice or waxy rice) is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, which has opaque grains, very low amylose content, and is especially sticky when cooked. It is called glutinous (< Latin glūtinōsus)[1] in the sense of being glue-like or sticky, and not in the sense of containing gluten. While often called "sticky rice", it differs from non-glutinous strains of japonica rice which also become sticky to some degree when cooked. There are numerous cultivars of glutinous rice, which include japonica, indica, and tropical japonica strains." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinous_rice
