Can anyone here donate me a Ferrari, please? Preferably pink and sparkly. While you're at it, can I have a whole new wardrobe?
Darn, I thought begging online for things I never tried to work for might actually work!
It just might. Hell, I'm tempted to try it myself. Stupid people tend to donate money to even stupider causes, or so it seems...
His greed is disgusting. I guess he doesn't even acknowledge the people back east who lost their entire homes to tornadoes and all they have are the clothes on their back. They have it worse than him.
There are lots of people out there worse off then him. There are people being slaughtered like animals in some parts of the world. There are people dying of preventable diseases or because they can't get access to clean food and water. And poor, sheltered little Chrisshun is worried about getting more fucking Legos, as if he didn't have enough already. Pretty disgusting, eh?
does this mean that he's literally going to be commuting there everyday to check his mail box/front lawn in the belief that he'll find a massive stack of Lego there?
Somehow, I can picture him waddling over there every morning and excitedly waiting for the mailman like some sort of fat little puppy. Kind of a funny image actually.
Oh, he'll do things like buy six of a given set, for all the parts.
Which is kind of a hoarder thing. "I've already got one, but its opened! How could I not buy sixteen more! They were on SALE so its almost like I'm saving money." I'm sure some of that behaviour was learned from Barb of course. I wonder if Chris knows (or cares) that he could buy individual Lego parts online. Like eBay and such. And often substantially cheaper than dropping $40 on another playset that he already owns anyway just so he can get the bloody door...
Actually, while we're on that train of thought... how exactly does Chris play with Legos anyway? I know he's awfully proud of that "replica" Manchester High abomination he built, but does he ever take his toys apart and reuse the pieces in different ways, or are they pretty much permanent things? When I was a kid, we' build stuff but also take it apart (and inevitably lose or misplace parts along the way). Chris doesn't seem particularly creative, though. I wonder if he takes more comfort in having simply done it and then placing on his ever growing stack of clutter...
We all knew that after he got the box and moved into a new rental he'd be a little bit happier. I think he was. That's why he stopped posting. For the first time in his life he had a clean space to play around in. He's been biding his time doing legos and games on open tables.
There may be some truth in this. I think hoarders are generally unhappy people, and the people who live with them doubly so. Its not Chris' fault obviously. He grew up living with Barb relatively late in her life and he never knew better, but I'm sure he didn't like living in a house where piles of crap were stacked about the stairs, even if he never expressed it. Too bad the Chandlers are making the same mistake once again. Even Chris doesn't deserve that. He might even have a decent start on... well, I'd be lying if I said a normal life, but certainly a better life than what he's led so far... if only they'd get rid of the damned hoard.
It reminds me of when I was growing up and I would get a toys'r'us catalogue in the mail before Christmas and I would mark everything I vaguely even wanted in it. That is how unreasonable this is
Well, that's kind of how Chris seems to work though. He's basically a giant kid. And even at that he's immature. I mean, yeah, we all played with toys and video games at some point in our lives, but most of us eventually grew out of that phase at some point when it became embarrassing to bring that stuff to school. We moved on. Got involved in activities. Took an interest in the opposite sex (or the same sex, whatever floats your boat). But not Chris... he continued to actively play with his toys well into his college years (at least that's what he said in his Mailbag), and I get the feeling it was more creepy than endearing.
So yeah, it makes perfect sense that he would go for the "everything" option, because he's basically like a 7 or 8 year old asking his parents for everything on his bloody Christmas list. And he fully expects complete strangers to go along and pat his ass by buying it too.
