[28-3-2014] Manchester High Lego Competition Submission

[OrsonZedd]

Still looks nothing like the actual school (which, oddly enough, looks like a Lego model)

Hell, that's all? I could build that. I could build that easily.

 

[Holdek]

When people argue that Chris is a nice guy, I like to point that incident out.

No one here does that, though. Just the three white musketeers: Anna, Watermelon, and KEngle.

It still amazes me, tard or not...a 30+ year old man whose main priority after a house fire was to rescue his Lego building.

Our Chrissy is the very definition of a man-child. In fact I would wager one day soon you will look up the word in your dictionary and see his very picture staring right back at you. Dead fish gaze and all.

Or retard, really either one works.

Well, he looks at all the other issues the fire raised and probably assumes "my mother will be taking care of all that".

 

[JFKdestroyer]

I dunno, trying to identify specific types of Chandler dirt is a hopeless task. It could just as easily be from being wrapped in dog pee newspapers during the move or something.

I'm pretty sure that it's a combination of dust that got damp and baked onto the flat pieces, and smoke and soot damage on the rest. Look at the part on the left. The flat "floor" pieces are disgusting, and the smoke damage on the door makes it look like a fire broke out inside the school.

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

Well, some adults use them in a rather serious way. LEGO robotics have been used for demonstration and practice in university engineering courses.

I'm sure whatever they're doing here is incredibly complex and over my head but I'd be lying if I said this didn't look at least somewhat spergy.

God Bless em though. Theyre probably making way more money than me. But still adults + legos are always gonna be a little off for me.

If Chris really expects to win with this kind of creation, then he should start by at least maintaining a consistent color scheme. He uses way too many different colors and it sometimes hurts trying to look at them, especially if they are really bright.

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

Although the more I think about it, there must be a major conflict deep inside what passes for Chris's brain. His constant need to rationalize, contextualize and rearrange facts has got to be wreaking havoc on his psyche.

Chris has surpassed mental gymnastics and has now gotten into straight up ringling brothers style mental acrobatics.

And no judge would ever love the idea of a children's High School being frequented by two enormous-headed Yellow & Pink monsters.

A) I'm happy for Chris for not living in a shit hole anymore. That neighborhood looks nice. Not that the last one was shite or something but years of ignoring the property had an effect.

B) I'm not happy that hes wasting this time away from that shithole in ruckersville by playing with toys.

C) Remind me to never upload another picture to the internet again. Geez.

Yeah, thanks to the cleansing fire they get to live in a house that hasn't been lived in by a lazy hillbilly hoarder and her imbecile manchild offspring. They'll fuck up this new place, just not as badly as the old one. Do you think one of them just suddenly started washing dishes? I bet the kitchen sink at the rental is already completely full with smelly, dirty dishes and fast food containers. Really, this all just means that Chris doesn't have to deal with the hoard after Barb dies. Shit, maybe that was Barb's plan all along...

Sorry if this is posted before, but God, the ween comments. (And this is just the beginning)

 

[sparklemilhouse]

Nope was my reaction to the school 2.0. Nope nope nope.

Give it a few months.

I looked up this page on the address, but it doesn't list any families with the last name Chandler as current or past residents. Either they haven't updated the page, or Barb and Chris used a fake name. It has two bedrooms, so Chris probably sleeps in his own room. The property values are certainly higher than their original house, but knowing the Chandlers, that is subject to change. Though it looks like Chris lives an even more cloistered life here since there aren't many houses nearby from the looks of the map. The page on their original home lists a Chandler family, but there is a fourth female family member with a name that starts with "C". I'm not sure who this fourth member is, but I'm thinking it may be one of the pets. Clover perhaps? Surprisingly, I don't see a resident that could be Snoopy or Kitty, so I'm thinking they are MIA, unlisted, or dead.

Five letters… Carol perhaps? It depends when 14 Branchland Court was purchased but she may have briefly lived there with Bob as a child. Do we know if he owned the house before he met Barb?

Of course this is assuming Bob and Barb didn’t just claim Carol lived there as a dependent for tax and social security reasons.

It still amazes me, tard or not...a 30+ year old man whose main priority after a house fire was to rescue his Lego building.

Well, he has virtually no responsibilities or obligations to worry about; no mortgage, car payments, documentation to recover, etc. He is probably on his mother's car insurance and I assume gets some sort of government medical insurance, so the only adult responsibility he has is the credit card debt, and possibly the cell phone.

If Chris really expects to win with this kind of creation, then he should start by at least maintaining a consistent color scheme. He uses way too many different colors and it sometimes hurts trying to look at them, especially if they are really bright.

Other people have mentioned it, but it is weird that he builds Lego versions of things and pays no attention to a realistic color scheme or detail, like the Walkman. There are many websites that allow you to buy individual Lego bricks (most are only a few cents, some rare types such as architectural pieces like a door in a particular color can be very expensive), for what Christian spent on all those Lego high school sets he could have bought as many or more of the same bricks in a consistent color scheme. The real Manchester High would be even less expensive.

I remember when I was a kid reading the LEGO magazines in the early 2000s, there used to be a section called "Cool Creations" where kids could send pictures of their creations to LEGO and have them published in the next magazine. If it weren't for the use of the Kreo pieces, I'd say if the section was still in the current magazines, Manchester High might be around that caliber. Keyword, might.

Maybe if weens sent it in for him and said he was eight.
