This place is becoming more and more like a Visitation Zone from A Roadside Picnic. The perils and strange artefacts just keep on multiplying. I also find it interesting that the actual covert imaging pass made by the feild agent is only ~20 seconds in total.

Wow, if Bob came back to life he would immediately have another heart attack and die again if he saw the current state of the hellish dumpster which he once called "home".

Bob would only be mad if the BMW went to shit. He wouldn't care about anything else.

Are you sure? Was Bob even out of the house in his last years.

I would say this is completely incorrect. My impression of Bob's relation with the horde is that he did not like it, he wanted to see it gone, but as an 80-something year old man married to a vampire he had the energy or time to deal with it, so he just slept in it.

This is the reason I pity Bob. I get the notion he was an wealthy older man that cheated on his wife, cheated on her with a younger Barb, and then after the divorce he was too old and tired so he just settled. It was entirely his fault, and I'm sure he realized that, but I still feel bad thinking about it.

It was a joke, I wasn't going for correctness and Bob isn't entirely without fault. He was the one who told Chris he didn't need to get a job.

Is that a refrigerator in the front yard?

it started running, but didn't make it

You are a national treasure, Cat.

Refer to my post in the Bob's Filing Cabinet thread... it's likely that Rocky will have the congregation at least partially pay for Junk-B-Gone and Orkin once Barb is gone.

I forsee the immediate post-Barb era to have Chris in extreme Mooch Mode. He will get some help in getting the estate affairs in order and maybe some cleanup, but Chris will always see that inch and try to grab a mile out of it, wearing out the altruism of his congregation quickly.

History shows that Rocky suffers from high-functioning altruism.

Elizabeth isn't around to tolerate (or even encourage) this sort of thing anymore. I mean, Ed didn't hesitate to ban Chris from church for a month. Sure Rocky will bitch and argue if he doesn't sign off on what she wants to do for Chris, but at the end of the day he'll still refuse.

Here.

Took screencaps to make analysis easier.

That's not Sonichu on the sign. I don't know if it's a sign by the mailbox or just more random shit from their yard.

Jesus Chris. 14 Branchland Crt is where parents threaten to leave their children if they misbehave; Barb and Chris are the boogeymen.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

Now just imagine passing by that place at night and hearing a child's voice:

"Hello, Mr. Troll..."

 

[Stratochu]

That is most certainly the BMW next to the Cadillac, but that looks like a roof off a portajohn (seriously) and some random junk on the BMW, not a tarp. Goes with what another person who recently visited 14BC said, that the BMW had random junk on it.

Did they just leave Bob in his red body bag and set him on a lawn chair in the front yard?

 

[lynx]

i guess chris hasn't mowed da lawwun in quite some time. i figure he can't find the inspiration to practically kick it, kickstart the lawnmower up again.

Oh, no, I really doubt Ed would care about that sort of stuff. Ed, I think, primarily cares about Chris being an ass during services.

 

[BALLZ-BROKEN]

In the Jackie email leaks, Chris mentioned that he had to get a gallon of gas for the lawn tractor. He said he put the filled container in the back of the Mitsu.

What are the odds that it's still in there, today?

 

[The Hunter]

Jesus Christ, did they get ANOTHER van? What is that, a Dodge Caravan? The front grill looks like a Dodge.

How many cars do these people need? They're not even getting good cars either.

 

[Anchuent Christory]

Anybody else think that some of the stuff outside may be large crap that Barb's bought and had delivered but refused entry to the delivery guys so it just got left outside?

 

[Male]

Now chris is gonna hide in a bush and take pictures of every car that passes his house

 

[Taurine]

Honestly, I'd love to have a functional refrigerator outside of my house.

 

[KatsuKitty]

Even while Bob was alive, he lost control of Barb's hoarding. To his credit though, he appeared to hold it back until his very last years.

This is a picture of his house using Google Earth historical imagery from December 30, 2002, the good old days even before Mary Lee Walsh conspired with her legion of jerkops to render true love illegal in Virgin-ia:

This is a picture seven years later to the day. The shingles have all rotted away and the yard is full of crap.
