Errr....when I see the words "chalice" and "divine" in the same sentence, I tend to think we'll be seeing a lot of stuff over in the Rubber Room! LOL

Well, a response is a response!

Prompt # 233 Chalice Joe stood watching from his pit, fuming as Lorenzo Rini raised the silver plated chalice above his head while the local press surrounded him. Camera flashes illuminating his smug, tanned face. Microphones shoved at him from every direction. The way his competitor was carrying on before them, you would think they just handed him the Holy Grail or something, instead of a trophy from the local track "Summer Special Series" races. He drew his arm across his brow, wiping away the sweat that had gathered there, and unzipped his firesuit. There was no way that race was cleanly run, no fucking way. The judges must be blind, either that or Rini's sponsor's had paid them off. Honestly, nothing would surprise him--but it was seriously pissing him off. Joe nodded a "thanks" as one of his crew handed him a cold water bottle and he half emptied it over his head, then drank the rest. Leaning back against his car, he caught Rini's eye, as well as the slight smirk that crept over his face. Grinding his teeth, he crushed the plastic bottle in his hand and tossed it into the nearby garbage bin.

Redbird: This reminds me of a scene that could have been straight out of the movie, "Rush," about the rivalry between race car drivers. Very intense!

Redbird: You'll get him next time, Joe!

Haven't seen that one RIGirl. (While it's not a "racing" movie, one my favorite "car" movies is "Bullitt" though. I want that black Charger! LOL.)

I thought it was a pretty good movie and was based on the real life story -- and rivalry -- of two race car drivers. Like I said, it was pretty intense, especially when you remember that it actually happened. I hear you about wanting cars -- though the only car I ever really wanted was the Mach 5! lol

LOL'ing at the old ladies on the bus. That chalice does sound gaudy! Poor Jun, though. I don't blame her for wanting to finally leave the "city of spies"--I would too (especially if I were with RI). (I'll check out that movie though. I have a list of classic cars I'd like. If I win the Powerball Lotto, I'm going shopping! LOL).

Well, they're still alive, that's a good start!
