I know you’ve been wondering how they stack up, so here it is: A tale of the tape measuring Robert Alan Dickey against Jacques, the friendly resident advisor on the fourth floor of the New South Dormitory at Georgetown University in the 1999-2000 academic year.
| R.A. Dickey | Jacques the R.A. | |
|---|---|---|
| Headwear | Mets cap | Bucket hat |
| Enjoys reading | Yes | Yes |
| Beard | Yes | Varying |
| Weapon of choice | Knuckleball | Student-conduct citations |
| Widely appreciated facial gesture | Makes hilarious face while throwing | Looks the other way while you’ve got a backpack that’s obviously filled with beer |
| Dislikes | Being pulled from a game early due to injury | Hall sports |
| Willingness to let you play Bond on his N64 | Unknown | Frequent |
| Skills | Controlling knuckleballs at multiple speeds, fielding position, flummoxing opposing hitters | Playing various musical instruments, pulling off tie-dye, maintaining an interesting tumblr |
| Fun fact
