Isn't Bob's gun in the cabinet too?

There is no evidence that Bob ever owned any firearms, despite a old republican from Texas.

I thought someone said Bob had a revolver and a .30-06.

I only know a little bit about guns, but I've heard about people leaving loaded revolvers for years in sock drawers and they still worked. Revolvers are tough guns, so it may still be functional if Bob last took care of it before he got too feeble.

I don't know when Bob would have last used the rifle, but I imagine it's like the revolver.

If Chris happened to find the guns, I hope he takes them to the gun store and sells them for vidya money.

I don't think we had any specific evidence that there were firearms in 14BC.
 
Since we all pretty much know Chris has aspergers, and is just faking autism to steal autistic's spotlight, the autism papers are the only way he can prove it to us. It would be a bad idea on his part to claim they exist, and never show proof.

Brother, the Autism papers are the holy grail. They are the equivalent of the WWF World Heavyweight Championship, man. And just like the championship, they must be worked towards. However, instead of months of training ,saying your prayers and eating your vitamins, they would involve asking Chris with the potential of some reward (such as china).

Brooke fits the sweetheart criteria, doesn't she, Hulkster? I mean, she wants out of the marriage to that JERK so she'll fit the bill as soon as the paperwork is signed at least. So does Nasty Nick if he turns out the lights and goes in full :tomgirl: regalia TRUE and HONESTLY if he's out of jail now and ready to make something of himself like his old man has?

Plus the Autism papers are more like the articles of incorporation for Vince Sr.'s WWWF than the Championship, the Championship is more akin to the :medallion: than the papers.

If there is a gun somewhere in that house I'd hope it'd be unloaded and useless by now but if Chris found it I could see him doing something stupid. Not carry it outside or anything but maybe taking a picture of himself pointing it at his camera as a warning to all trolls, pointing it to his head as a plea for attention/sympathy, etc.

There is a huge difference between Chris being able to do something and Chris actually doing something.
Why do you think Chris wouldn't do that,Chris knows he needs a roof to deteriorate in front of the TV and Vidya. If Barb doesn't die suddenly, Don't you think she would instruct Chris do something like that.

Chris doesn't think of the long term or really even the medium term consequences of things. He also has a remarkable capacity for self deception. When you add the two, one comes to the unavoidable conclusion that he is very [cwc]naive[/cwc].
Yeah, but not about things that are concrete. It's very easy for Chris to deny things like whether or not he's attractive, because physical attraction is such a debatable topic. I bet Chris can't tell when one man is attractive and another man is a dumpy, jiggly fatass. And because of this inability, Chris can easily bullshit himself that he's attractive.

But Chris knows that he can't bullshit physical realities. Like he can't bullshit his ps3 into working without electricity. Or he can't bullshit himself out of jail if he gets arrested. I think Chris is way balsier about bitching about jerkops on his facebook than actually confronting jerkops IRL. He'll run away because he's a huge pussy and he knows he can't curse-ye-ha-me-ha himself out of jail cells.

Oh, I know Chris understands he has to pay his bills. But he's done things before like overdraft his account, or not pay a bill on time. That's more along the lines of what I meant.

Hell, people without Chris' naivete get into financial problems because they don't pay attention to their financial obligations, even though they are aware of them.

Eh, I've missed bills myself. I don't think Chris will encounter any serious consequences from missing payments.

I would send Chris $100 just for him to upload the autism papers, his mental evaluation and grades.

The sad thing is that Chris being Chris, he'd upload them on his own, just to PROVE! the CONSPIRACY!!! against him.

unless you really really neglect or abuse a revolver, it should still work even after decades of sitting in storage. The only reason you really need to clean a gun often is if it's regularly fired. If Bob never or hardly ever shot it, it should be good for a very long time.
 
I collect old firearms as a hobby and old weapons usually will work as long as they aren't rusted solid or something similar. Ammo will also work fine most of the time. I've shot a lot of WW2 suplus ammo and 9 out of 10 times it'll work so I have no doubt that unless something really bad happened to his firearms that they would still function.

As for the bills, he'll probably get most of them in on time. However, I hope he's learning a little bit about budgeting because I can see him getting depressed and spending all the tugboat in a few weeks and be really short the rest of the month.

In reality, who knows what will happen? Has Chris not shocked any of us at least once with his ability to fail at mundane things? :briefs:
 
Most of the .50 cal ammo used in Iraq and Afghanistan was WW2 surplus.

this is true, but how much wiggle room does he have? any fees would cripple his income if it as low as we've speculated. not to mention, if he answers a bill collector phone call, they probably won't accept, da trolls, or stress, or autism or loneliness as an excuse.

He's pretty stable with this sort of thing, now that he's got responsibilities.

Uhh, his income's something like $1.2k a month? More or less? I wonder, would it go up when Barb dies?

Oh man, if it doesn't go up, or it's not big enough now, watch him take out a bunch of credit cards to fund his life.
 
I wonder, would it go up when Barb dies?

Someone who knows more about Social Security than I do (I think it was PolterBob) said that it wouldn't increase. So yeah, he'll either go into massive debt with no way to pay it off or will have to make severe cuts to his vidya budget.
 
I really hope that once Barb passes and assuming Chris inherits it outright or Cole gives his half of the house ownership to Chris out of his need for it, Rocky will help get 14BC fixed up to the minimum with possible help from the church and some sacrifices from the tugboat and Barb's savings (like new roof and missing windows replaced, appliances replaced with Goodwill appliances in decent working order or from a used-appliance store (there has to be one in R-Ville, C-Ville or both), gets the hoard removed by Junk-B-Gone or a similar service (Chris could probably clear the parts of the hoard in the bathrooms and his bedroom out and give it to the junk removal workers), and gets 14BC treated for spiders, bedbugs, ants, fleas and roaches, which is what I think the infestation is.

He could then look on Craigslist, take the Dodge van to places where there is free or cheap furniture and have a neighbor help him bring it in. Once 14BC is fixed up enough to be more or less livable but not pretty and the yard is taken care of, neighbors may help him with moving in furniture and the lawn, he could get CollegePro to paint the house for not much money (like half a tugboat or his survivor benefit payment from Bob's tugboat), he could paint the shutters, stairs and door himself with Krylon spray cans, and Rocky or another person from church (methinks his epistle is fairly old and he has gone back from time to time) could hook him up with automatic bill-paying and some supports. The tugboat would be mostly reserved for general needs, he could get food stamps fairly easily, but he could get Netflix instead of cable (costs way less) and focus mostly on playing used games from Goodwill and what he already has from PSN. Also, he should sell the Cadillac and BMW and keep the Dodge van.

Chris is trainable with the right assistance and with compassion, and 14BC can be fixed up into a marginal but livable place. He may eventually be able to meet someone who could be a girlfriend of sorts if he is given the opportunity to go to meet & greet groups with other autistic people... like Marvin says, what he says and what he actually does are 2 different things.

edit: as to how I know this... I am autistic as well (finally admitting it, my special interests are electronics, cars and crime), but received early intervention and treatment through the Denver public-school system draw a tugboat with added benefits from a parent, albeit caused by retirement and not death, have participated in autism meet & greet meetings, and am entering a vocational rehabilitation program. I could have EASILY ended up like Chris had I not been given treatment, and I know several cases of people like Chris who were trainable & reasonably successful once their parents passed on.

/end derailment

And AFAIK the reason Chris gets a bigger tugboat from Bob's demise but won't from Barb's is because I think Barb lives on a pension from Virginia Power (which is most likely a state job and a union job, so there is a pension involved), and not on a federal tugboat like Chris or a GE pension, patent royalties and Social Security retirement tugboat like Bob (which is how he could afford a Jaguar and a BMW).

Mostly on target, except this. It's been just under three months since Chris wrote that.

No, I don't think Chris has attended church services. But he still gets asspats from Rocky. He might go to the church to meet up with her sometimes.
 
As poor of a parent as bob was, I wouldn't be surprised if he set up some money for Chris for after him and Barb kick the bucket. Barb's pension probably also has a survivor benefit so he may get a bit more money when she kicks off. The real question is would Chris use a lump sum to pay for house repairs and stuff he needs, or an all out viday splurge.

If bob rely does have a revolver I'd love to get my hands on it some how to have an authentic relic of the lumberjack. It's probably a good condition Colt or Smith & Wesson that's worth several hundred or a thousand plus depending on age, model and condition. Fucking Chris will probably have a negligent discharge with it if he finds it, or sell it to a fucking gun buyback for fifty bucks.

There has to be some guy on /k/ who lives near enough who might buy it.
