I don't think he thought of it as normal. Chris is such a huge pussy, he'll live his whole life in misery and unhappiness rather than have one confrontation to change things for the better.

I'm beginning to wonder if Chris ever dreams he once had some sort of "George McFly" moment where he would have made that one, simple change that could have catalyzed a complete life change for him…

Nah, I'm just spewing shit.

I'm so proud of my own ability to stand up for myself.

I can imagine Chris working through the night printing out anime posters.

I can imagine Chris working through the night printing out anime posters.

You mean, to support himself and his mother?

That's very sad, I imagine it was a pretty nice place before, not only is Barb's crap cluttering up the yard but it probably smells like smoke, feces, and everything else on the inside.

Feel sorry for the neighbors, not just for the trash, but for ultra-bright security lights making life difficult. I imagine if any of them came to talk to the Chandlers (whether their trashiness or even to say hello), Barb would probably be extremely rude.

I imagine that in two years from now, Barb (if she's still alive) will join the ranks of Charlottesville's homeless population, armed with a stolen Walmart shopping cart holding the last of her crap.

He probably does have such a list, and it's probably jam-packed with stuff, but it's also probably loaded with events that are both highly improbable and don't impede Chris's lack of agency. (Stuff like "win the lottery" and such.)

It's telling that they've been given a fresh slate and instead of even trying to improve their surroundings they slip right back into habits that give them an iota of comfort but are ultimately destructive.

Chris seems to have an idea that the Horde is total crap ("No burglar would want anything in this house", he's gone on record saying, and he's absolutely right for once). However, since Barb has total control of him (combined with his laziness/lack of ambition), no improvement will be made.

Chris probably still blames Adam Stackhouse for beating him in the Parappa contest, because as we all know if he had won Megan would be totally banging him at this very minute.

Does he make coffee there?

He makes something brown...

The problem is that Chris' life can't be changed through one single event. He's a mess of events all wrapped into the OPL that we all know today. Even if he suddenly got over his autism, he would still be an egotistical, gross, transvestite with a skullet.

It's been echoed but it's amazing how quickly these two ruin anything they touch. The Caddy is an example, same with this rental. Mowing the lawn is not terribly difficult but having a mower could be an issue. Paying somebody to do it would be an option but as we know the Tugboat must be saved for Vidya, McDonalds and the Goodwill.

People will complain if this is a decent neighborhood about the shit on the yard and the ever-growing grass. And landlords will tell Charb to get their fat asses out there to fix it.

I don't know if this was ever even technically public, but it was so damn long ago I'm just going to reveal it anyway: There was a point at which Chris's literal plan for his life was to win the lottery.

...

His plan was to win the lottery.

And I don't know if he ever even bought a lottery ticket.

Was the lottery his fall back plan since he was never going to get himself a sweetheart?

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

Was the lottery his fall back plan since he was never going to get himself a sweetheart?

Nope, it was his primary plan. It went basically like this:

1. Be born.
2. Autism.
3. Win the lottery.
4. ??????
5. Sweetheart!

Why am I imagining a silhouette in front of the house and Tubular Bells playing?

 

[Tubular Monkey]

would you trust him with a high speed blade?

Oh my sweet God, yes I would.

I feel like it says somewhere on the CWCki that he bought tickets weekly. In Jackie E-mails 12? Of course we know how well that has worked out for him...

From the Jackie e-mails:

I'm sorry for not replying yesterday. In the morning, I had to hang with my mother while she went in for her liver checkup (I think that's what it was about), and she gave a bit of blood shortly before as well. We had some breakfast (she ate later), and met my father at the usual gas station where he buys his weekly lottery tickets. I invest $4 weekly between Win For Life and Mega Millions; two plays each.

EDIT: MerriedxReldnahc, you read my mind.

The HILARIOUS thing is that Bob's ticket was a winner TWICE. But we altered the results in the computer and changed the numbers. They would have been SO RICH! LULZ!

Well, it was possible that Chris contributed his tugboat to Bob's lottery trials, it's unknown if he did it after Bob's death.

What's interesting is talking about the liver checkup of . Does she drink at all?
