Okay, so I’m participating in an auto race this week. Now, here’s the rub. I’m beginning to suspect that one of the drivers is my long-lost brother Rex, in disguise. He ran away years ago, after an unpleasant confrontation with Pops.
So, what should I do? I’d mention this to my folks, but I don’t want Pops to get his hopes up. I’d mention this to my kid brother, but he’s too young to even remember Rex.
Any sage advice would be appreciated.
Woah. Are you serious?
If you are, my gut reaction is to tell you to go by yourself, see “Rex” and talk to him. See how things stand with him—test the waters. If he had no problem with you (you say that he had a falling out with your dad) then he may be happy to see you. However, if he saw your dad there with you, he might try to avoid all of you, and then you’d never get to talk to him.
Good luck to you. Wow.
Wow, indeed! I agree with yosemitebabe. You can find out if Rex actually is your brother. If it truly is him, then hopefully the two of your will be able to find a way to become a family again. Good luck and here’s hoping for a happy reunion!
And good luck on your race. Take care - you’ll certainly have a lot on your mind.
(Fast, out of synch dubbing).
Hmmm, Speed may be on to me, but I cannot allow he and Pops to know that I have entered the race to prevent the Mach-5 and it’s top-secret Dynotech Ceramic Engine from falling into the nefarious hands of the Acrobatic Acceleration Assasins whom I know tried to steal it from the graveyard where Pops Racer wisely buried it knowing that it’s incredable propulsion would be a terrible force for destruction in the wrong hands, but Pops knew that Speed was wise and unselfish enough to use the Dynotech Ceramic Engine for the good of the world rather than his own selfish gain. I myself ran away from home at an early age because my over-critical father, Pop’s Racer, couldn’t accept my lifestyle choice of skin-tight latex jumpsuits and masks and my pathological need for over-analyitical exposition in the form of run-on sentances that don’t match my lip movements, but someday I will reveal myself and return triumphant to…
Hey, is that fucking monkey hiding in my trunk again!?
Did I actually hear a ‘whoosh’ up there? Twice?
Screw it. Ask the Chimp. And don’t trust the car acrobatic team (but steal the technology).

for yosemite and brachy…
Wha? It’s not true?? No warm, fuzzy feelings?
Well, I feel stupid…Dad, er Pops always said I was too naive.
:o
Throw this dumb dog a bone, what’s this referring to?
Oh, fer…
In my defense, I was a Gigantor kind of gal. Space-age robots, you know.
You’ll gets yours, you speed racing, thundering kind of guy, you! Where’s that monkey?!
Thanks beagledave! 
Go, JThunder

Go, JThunder
Go!
Inky-, that was precious. Truly inspired.
Sigh. OK. I had a feeling it wasn’t for real, but I don’t watch Speed Racer! What do you people WANT FROM ME?!?!?!!?
That’s so adorable that you guys didn’t know!
Reminds me of that Dexter’s Lab spoof of Speed. With Deedee in both the Spritle role, and the Racer X (or rather Racer D) role. Kickass.
Um, an education? In stuff that really matters?
I’m gonna get Gigantor all over your ass and lock this thread.
