Tony, I know this probably isn't very fair to take advantage of this situation, but I figure it's probably the only way I'll get a straight answer out of you. Ever.

Do any of the following products actually exist: Toasteronis, Densaugios, Skittlebrau, Brawndo, Bot Munch cereal, Snappy Cracker Crunches, Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, Cosmic Cookies, Snicker Snax, Choc'o the Mornin, Jumbo Jim's Grape Scotch, Cowboy Crunch'ems, and/or Fishtastic Toaster Tacos?

Does NC-17 really mean it's for people under the age of seventeen?

Did something called Prop 8 really make marriage mandatory for homosexual couples?

Is Star Trek really the true story of the founding of the space program? I've been meaning to watch it to see.

Is that Mitt Romney guy really a Doombot?

Does the E on that fiction site you found really mean the stories are for everyone? And does the little slash thing mean it switches point of view between two people?

If you take a gal on a date, do you really need to take her bowling so she knows you're interested? And get her a corsage to match her outfit? And call to ask what she's wearing so you can make sure you match?

I'm pretty sure grabbing someone's backside isn't actually a Nepalese greeting that's becoming really popular in the states, but I'll ask anyway. Is it?

Is Fox News really "brilliantly crafted political satire"?

Is Twilight an inspiring true story?

Do people really use Comic Sans exclusively?

Will citizens of the United States really be required by law to be fluent in Norwegian by 2024?

Was there really a war with Canada in the sixties?

Do you really need to say please and thank you to the toaster if you want it to cook your bread?

Is Men in Black really about a sister agency of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

I really feel like kind of a jerk asking you all these things, especially when you have to be honest, but I just don't know what to believe any more. And I don't get why you keep saying this stuff if it's not true. I mean, Jesus, it's hard enough adjusting to things when nothing makes sense and I feel like an idiot most of the time anyway, but it's worse when I'm not sure what to believe and what not to. I mean, I know you don't like me all that much, but I just thought we were getting past the awkward start, and now I'm not so sure. And I know I could probably look all of this up, but I'd just rather hear it from you.

	I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. I hadn't meant to respond but this... device apparently had other ideas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think they've been sort of busted lately. I've taken mine apart and put it back together three times, but no change. Pretty sure "God" is just screwing with us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-29 03:46 am UTC (link)
	So it would seem. Now, if you don't mind, or even if you do, I have a question that I would like answered And, as it looks like you haven't a choice in the matter, I'm going to take advantage and ask away. Are we simply going to pretend that you've no idea who I am and I'm lacking the smarts to figure out who you are as well, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sort of. Actually, I was going to borrow a costume from the university's theater department and pretend to be one of the Starks from Game of Thrones, but Tesla correctly pointed out that I couldn't feign technological ignorance long enough to fool anyone. And then Steve screwed it up by telling on me. Although I guess it was never really a great option to begin with. Then I thought about hiding in the lab until someone sent me home, but the pizza place gets really tetchy about delivering to something that looks kind of like an abandoned bunker that may or may not also be armed to the teeth. The general pretending was really like, plan H. Which I by no means an insult to your intelligence. It was more, deliberately ignorant wishful thinking.

	So, essentially, instead of admitting that you are my son from the future, you would rather pretend that you're no relation to me whatsoever and hide either behind a costume or in a lab? I see. I guess the only thing I have left to ask is what I did as a mother that was so terrible that I deserve that sort of treatment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystarks 2012-06-29 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Well, it seemed like it would be easier for everyone. And I liked the costume. You should really check out Game of Thrones. The detail work is impressive. What? I--- nothing. I just--- you didn't know me, and you and dad never really wanted kids, and. I haven't seen either of you in more than twenty years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-29 04:32 am UTC (link)
	I might, since you suggested it. Now who said I never wanted kids? There's a difference between not planning on having kids and not wanting them, you know. And I frankly don't believe you, this entire truth nonsense be damned. Clearly I had to have done something, or maybe not enough, if Howard treated you the way you're claiming and I just allowed it to happen! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystarks 2012-06-29 04:49 am UTC (link)
	You should. They probably have it at the video place. I guess that's true. But it wasn't like that. It was a long time from now for you, and a long time ago for me. But you didn't allow it to happen. It just happened. It was never you. I just. I didn't think you'd want to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-29 04:55 am UTC (link)
	You're my son. Of course I'd want to know. Even if I was a failure as a mother, I'd rather know that than wonder why my own flesh and blood would prefer to pretend he's someone else than admit our relation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't want you to be disappointed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-29 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Why on earth would I be disappointed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know. Dad was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-30 03:11 am UTC (link)
	Well, I'm hardly him, now am I? And I'm not disappointed. You seem like a fine fella with people who care about you and who you care for in return. That's plenty for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystarks 2012-06-30 03:14 am UTC (link)
	You want to see the lab? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-30 03:14 am UTC (link)
	I'd be delighted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystarks 2012-06-30 03:50 am UTC (link)
	I should probably warn you. There's a big glowing metal thing on my chest. It's supposed to be there. Long story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-30 05:09 am UTC (link)
	A story I'd love to hear sometime, I might add. Though I think it'd be best to wait until you're not required to speak to honestly about everything. I'd hate to feel as though I were taking advantage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystarks 2012-06-30 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, probably not a good day to play 20 questions. ~~Maybe the drinking game. But.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hisbetterhalf 2012-06-30 06:09 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I'm sure I could think of a lot ways that game would be fun right now. But not in this instance. (Reply to this) (Parent)
