True Facts About Chris Rea

[steverob]

Chris Rea started an online petition demanding that Dick Dastardly be allowed to win Wacky Races just once.

Worth noting that there was a follow up to Wacky Races in the 1990's called Fender Bender 500, featuring other Hanna-Barbera characters (Yogi Bear, Top Cat, etc.) where Dick Dastardly did actually win some of the races. Of course every time he won, the prize was deliberately terrible, leaving him angry that all his cheating hadn't got him anything worthwhile.

(And that might be the only true fact on this entire thread!)

Chris Rea has never heard of Fender Bender 500. Everyone close to him is involved in a conspiracy to keep it from him.

Chris Rea is the star of the U.S T.V series, The Curse of Skinwalker Ranch, yet we only ever catch a fleeting glimpse of the Turdis, but the auberge field from the Turdis causes all the experiments to go belly up, electronics to fail, and cameras to catch glimpses of the Turdis, the producers and the crew will be gutted if they actually find out it's just Chris Rea who is using the property as his American Time Travel Megabase, after all the costs of the experiments

Chris Rea started out riding fixed. He did. He strapped 2 dustbin lids to his ankles because he was poor, very poor. He suffered a technological breakdown when coming unbolted at 150rpm going down Holme Moss only slowing due to a stone dyke which was demolished (and then later turned into a parking lot). He spent the rest of his life writing songs to pay for the damage because there was no way he was going to make any money as a professional cyclist. Not in this life, not in the next.
