You can not troll Chris that easily. He doesn't answer the door, and often doesn't even open his mail. Chris is paranoid of trolls.

If you want to give Chris something, mail a package and time it to arrive along with his next batch of ebay purchases, and make sure it doesn't require signature on delivery. Maybe you will get lucky and Chris will actually open it, but there is a high probability it goes in the trash like a lot of other stuff people have sent.
 
Can't blame you for trying. If you UPS'd it or something he probably wouldn't have posted about it seeing as he's invested in Smash Bros, medallions and Sonic's arms right now.

I think if you arrived later then you'd have stood a better chance, what with Barb perhaps being asleep or Chris being up. Not sure if this justified its own thread considering nothing happened, but whatever, I'll take this over another 'ESTIMATE THE DIAMETER OF CHRIS' ASSHOLE AFTER HE LEAVES PRISON' thread any day.
 
OP nice thought but if you ever rang my doorbell, waited five minutes, knocked on the door, stood there for another five minutes, I would pepper spray you.

Not sure if you're serious or not. How far have you gotten? What's the obstacle that stops it? Does he just not respond, or does Barb say no, or does he not have the money?

People have asked Chris to go to various local conventions over the years.

Like, this story about an attempt to attend magfest is pretty typical. Not sure who Dana is, but I guess she asked Chris to go to Magfest. Barb's reaction is pretty typical. She pulls out all the stops to get Chris to fold, like in this case, threatening to change the locks.

Chris almost always opens his mail because he's afraid of the risk of losing gifts. He usually keeps gifts people send him.

He lost the gift card I sent last Christmas. I've checked the balance, and it's still unspent.

Chris is famously unpredictable.
 
Barb must be slightly aware of Christian's internet fame. Don't people constantly mail her postcards of the Julay video and other 'erotic' photos of Chris? Perhaps she is paranoid because she is now the only person in that house capable of fending off any robbers like the evil firefighter who stole stuff from her precious hoard.

Anyways I don't know why you would want to give something to the Chandlers. Seems like if Barb did take it she would have said "Just leave it by the door" and then tell you to immediately leave under threat of calling the cops only then for Chris to post a facebook status enraged that he wasn't sent money or lego instead.

If it was me though, instead of sending Chris pictures of Sonic, I'd send him a framed picture of his cat Scamper that died in the fire to at least remind the Chandlers that there is at least one human being in the world that cares that an innocent cat lost her life due to an idiotic manchild and his hoarding enabler mother who cared more about firefighters allegedly stealing literal garbage and getting legos and psn cards.

Heh, Chris is famously unpredictable, except for all those times he's trivially predictable.

Jesus christ. Christian can't do something as a 30 year old man that 14 yo do all the time. He even thought there'd be pussy and couldn't stand up to his mom. Plus with a little self control he could have afforded that trip with his tugboat.. I guess though it's christian and he always folds at the first sight of challenge.

Yeah, he's completely whipped. Part of it is Barb's fault, because threatening to make someone homeless over a weekend at an anime con is some pretty serious (and crazy) stuff. But of course, it's also Chris' fault, because in order to assert independence on a bigger scale (I'm going on a trip this weekend), he has to start off by asserting independence on a small scale (I'm going to be gone this afternoon, if this bothers you, shit sucks).

I agree. But that is a tough one. Barb seems to work pretty hard to stamp out the earliest signs of independence. I have a mother who I think could get like Barb if given free reign. My brothers and I always have to be really careful to keep her at arms length. And none of us live with her, so we already have that advantage, in addition to not being incompetent idiots.

I have quite a bit of sympathy for Chris about this. It's a tough thing to do. One would have hoped that he realized that now that Bob is gone and her finances are worse than his, he is not dependent on her. Unfortunately, he seems to have flipped from "I need my mother" to "my mother needs me". Either way, he can't leave.

Well, I think a part of him likes being treated like a baby by Barb. No way she's gonna lock him out of the house if he goes off, that's an idle threat. But I think the message is if you cross this line I won't treat you like a baby anymore, I'll treat you like a grown up and you'll have responsibilities. And that's what Christian really fears.
