DIRK: Anyway, carry on. You were asking about adult Dave? DAVE: yeah DAVE: so that covers how he died DAVE: taking a futile stand against some unbeatable foe DAVE: cant say im too surprised about that cause what else is even new DAVE: what about his early life though DAVE: guess i arrived around the same year my bro did in my universe? DAVE: just came down on the same dead horse i rode in on DAVE: into a world full of opportunities DAVE: how did i get started DIRK: His early life isn't well documented. DIRK: There's hardly anything to read about him until he broke into show business with a few obscure projects at the turn of the century. DIRK: It all snowballed from there. DAVE: i guess the one thing we know for sure is i didnt find a kid in a crater and take him under my wing DAVE: that was probably for the best DIRK: Heh. DAVE: actually maybe its better that most of his story is left to my imagination DAVE: kinda like how you said you spent a lot of time thinkin about him DAVE: filling in the gaps of his ridiculous exploits DIRK: Right. DIRK: There's certainly a lot of lore to work with. DIRK: Urban legends and stuff. DAVE: like what DAVE: actually wait DAVE: dont tell me DAVE: at least not now maybe down the road it would be cool to hear some DAVE: i think id prefer to fill in the blanks myself for a while DAVE: really it sounds dope as hell to imagine that sort of blank canvas life DAVE: dropped on earth as a kid in the 70s or 80s or whatever with no bossy adult to reel me in DAVE: and just having to figure stuff out DAVE: especially knowing that many years later it all worked out ok DAVE: really wonder what i did DAVE: was i like some homeless eighties ragamuffin??? DAVE: jesus christ that sounds fairly adorable if so DAVE: maybe i slept in an alley on a bed of rubix cubes and alf merchandise DAVE: or maybe i offered my old school rap services for food DIRK: Like, through a shitty cardboard booth? DIRK: You know, like the one from the fuckin' Charlie Brown comics. DIRK: "This is what the refrance," FYI. DAVE: yes exactly DAVE: this sounds like exactly the life for me DAVE: what if without a penny to my name and the wind at my back i hopped a boxcar to the big apple DAVE: because as a dumb child i naively believed thats where they made all the apple juice DAVE: id be sorely disappointed when i got there but it wouldnt matter because id probably scrape together a living on off off off broadway like... DAVE: making shitty cartoons DAVE: on stage DAVE: and saying DAVE: you guys DAVE: this will be SO much funnier once the internet happens TRUST ME DAVE: then the aristocratic patrons of fine theater just shrug and dump their shillings into my orphan hat DIRK: It sounds to me like you've been reading up on the urban legends already. DAVE: hahaha
