 You're fighting Racecar Bob

This is one half of the feared Twins of Nas'Kar. They like driving fast, drinking cheap beer, and kicking your ass.

Hit Message(s):

I tell ya whut, he just about lays down the smack on yer ass. Ow! Ugh!

Reckon he just about smacks y'all right upside the <arm>. Ugh! Ow!

Well, that ol' Racecar Bob sure did just whack you in the <shoulder> with the steering wheel he's holding. Ouch! Ouch!

I reckon them Nas'Kar boys are just about the biggest pains in the neck in the county. Especially when they smack you in the neck, like this one just did. Eek! Ooh!

Critical Hit Message:

Racecar Bob calls Bob Racecar, his brother/cousin, over. Together, the two of them pound on you somethin' fierce. Argh! Eek!

Miss Message(s):

I tell ya whut, he just about tried to kick y'all in the ass and missed.

Reckon he tried ta smack y'all upside the <leg>, but don't reckon he managed to do it.

Well, that ol' Racecar Bob tried to hit you, but you dodged him with a resounding Yeeee-HAW!

I reckon that Nas'Kar boy was too drunk on 3.2 to even get close to hitting you.

Fumble Message:

Now, that ol' Racecar Bob tried to hit you, but he tripped and fell over a nearby cliff. Looks like them Nas'Kar boys better grow some wings. Or at least start flappin' their arms (FUMBLE!)

Occurs Inside the Palindome. Occurred at The Palindome (OLD), The Palindome (Retired).

Notes

• The "I Love Me, Vol. I" drops if 5 native Palindome dudes have been defeated (including this one). (It can also drop from the other 2 dudes.)
• The photograph of a dog drops if 10 native Palindome dudes have been defeated (including this one). (It can also drop from the other Bob, but not from the Bard.)
  • Alternatively, said photograph can also be acquired mid-combat by using the disposable instant camera against Bob; this is generally the preferred method. (Some paths don't allow for this faster method, however.)
• The above two quest items (needed to progress the Palindome section of the "Quest for the Holy Macguffin") can only be acquired once, and the counters towards acquiring them only start counting after having opened The Palindome.
• Racecar Bob's attack and dodge messages are the same as Bob Racecar.
• Bob Racecar and Racecar Bob's images are mirror image of each other.
• Bob Racecar and Racecar Bob's names are also mirrored, letter for letter, since "racecar" and "Bob," alone, are palindromes in themselves.

History

• Racecar Bob began dropping the ketchup hound as of a trivial update on March 10, 2013.
• The image for this monster was changed on February 28, 2014. It used to be:

  

References

• The "Twins of Nas'Kar" is a reference to the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR).
• The "Twins" could also allude to the marketing gimmick used by the Coors Brewing Company, the Coors Light Twins.
• The last phrase, "Now, that ol' Racecar Bob tried to hit you, but he tripped and fell over a nearby cliff. Looks like them Nas'Kar boys better grow some wings. Or at least start flappin' their arms." is likely based on the voiceovers from the Dukes of Hazzard television show.
• "3.2" is a colloquial term for low-alcohol (and often cheap) beer. Though it may be hard to get drunk on 3.2 (as asserted by the Hot Buttered Rum String Band), it is quite possible.
