Chris in 20 years?

[Doge]

I actually think he'll be alive. Miserable and looking like Bob, but alive. He'll end up undoubtedly losing everything when Barb dies and probably be homeless, at least for a while, but that'll be a few weeks out, maybe a few months if he's lucky. I don't think it'll outright kill him though. I think he'd manage to survive, especially if he can still collect government money to splurge. Enough to keep himself fed. I guess there is a chance of someone taking him in or arranging something when someone else steps in to handle the funeral arrangements (since Chris won't. Not even out of laziness, I genuinely think he'll be too shocked and unable to cope).

Best case scenario is institutionalization though.

 

[Burning Love]

51 years old... oh, the clock is ticking. :arrow:

I hope I'm still around to see what's left of him if I haven't found something more entertaining with which to pass the time.

He'll be a legend to the people of Ruckersville. A crazy old woman who spoons with a skeleton in a trash pile.

You say it like this and suddenly I have an image of a really gross scatological version of "A Rose For Emily."

Now that you say it, that does come to mind when I picture him and . Not that I ever wanted to...

Chris is destined to become Emily.

 

[He Sets Me On Fire]

If Chris is alive in 20 years I will be shocked. If he cannot get his life back together after Barb dies then I think he will end up either homeless, in a mental hospital, group home, or jail. I am doubting Chris could take care of a house himself and if he is smart he will sell the house and move into a studio apartment and get a part time job. Since Chris has made bad decisions in the past I doubt he will have a bright future.

Well, just paying for the house will outstrip his tugboat. He'd need to get a job to maintain the house, let alone all his other bills.

Oh, mahgoodness. A problem with the plumbing? Boom. A problem with the roof? Boom. Furnace won't turn on? Boom - massive repair bills, even if it's something small. And these things don't have the courtesy to happen one at a time. Just when you're getting the estimate for the cracked toilet, that's when a problem with the wiring kicks up. This isn't even considering an issue that may develop with the car.

Agreed on all of this. As far as cars, the Mitsubishi (if it still runs, I've more or less confirmed that or Chris-chan still own it) will be the more reliable of them all, the van is known for poor build quality but fairly reliable, and the Caddy is known for electrical problems and the Northstar V8 has quirks like nearly impossible repairs on head gaskets and oil leaks, burned pistons and timing belt failure that fucks up the whole engine. And he can't drive a manual, so the BMW and the Honda (if they still own it) will have to go along with the Caddy.

I'd suggest that after drops and the funeral services are over, he take his game consoles and special things like the Sonic plushie, his laptop and iCrap, music and movies, and a few other entertainment things, load them into the van or Mitsubishi, and move into an extended-stay hotel like Crossland, InTown Suites or Microtel, they have weekly maid service so his unit will stay clean, are very affordable, have kitchens where he could heat up frozen or canned foods or q-sand-like stuff from convenience stores and are perhaps too tolerant management-wise, and if Rocky still works for the church, hopefully she'll have the gumption to get him a social worker and home health aide along with putting the proceeds of selling 14BC as a teardown, the Caddy and Bimmer and 's big-screen TV, maybe Bob's records too if any are usable, into a trust fund, which will not affect his tugboat.

buuuut he'll just sit in the hoard of garbage and complain about trolls and how no one will fix his life for him.

Heh, he'd lose the hoard when he can't pay the mortgage.

Has anyone here besides me ever bought a house? I've bought and sold two.

You don't get a mortgage without mortgage insurance that pays off the balance if you die. Period. If there was anything still owing on Branchland Ct., Bob's heart failure took care of it. Period. That is how it works.

OK, devil's advocate here: somehow they bypassed the system (sacrifices to their pagan gods? who knows) and there's still money owing. Any mortgage Borb could have qualified for would have been thirty years, maximum. Their generation would be more likely to go for fifteen. How long, exactly, have they been at Branchland? There's not much time left in any event, so the foreclosure fairies had better be ready to pounce.

That's not to say there aren't costs like property tax and maintenance, either of which can floor a homeowner who isn't ready.

 

[MerriedxReldnahc]

I don't feel particularly optimistic about Chris's longevity, so him living 20 more years would be a long shot. I wanna see how he'd look though. At his current age of 31, he already looks older then my 53 year old friend.

Mr. Ja'mie bought his/our first house from a tax auction. So we were able to skip the whole mortgage process. We still have taxes and maintenance of course, and a couple of well-timed and intense fiascos could easily decimate our tugboats.

Hopefully but unlikely, has explained the taxes and general upkeep to Chris so he can be prepared to step up after she takes her big nap. If he falls behind on those taxes, 14 Branchland Ct and its contents could easily get nabbed in a tax auction.

Well somehow they'd still have a mortgage. Maybe they got a second one? Not sure.



Or, I guess I wouldn't be able to specifically confirm that they have one, but again, I definitely will say that it's incorrect to assume they don't have one. On my own, I would normally assume they didn't have one for the same reasons everyone else cites, but I've got other reasons.

 

[theobservdr]

he will probably be homeless by then... maybe even earlier and will live in an alley somewhere in Charlottesville probably being one of the more crazy homeless people types who just yell random things at people just for attention.

 

[Judge Holden]

Buried in an unmarked and shallow paupers grave, chris's body is quickly discovered and absconded with by weens who mummify him inside a giant vat of pickles

Honestly I would be surprised if he was still alive unless he makes some major changes

 

[GameFreak982928]

Dude if he's already balding, getting a "squeaky" and painful jaw (possible heart issues) gets out of breath doing the simplest things and is in a house infested with parasites and insects that not only contributed to the death of his father but infected his mother now to? All the while eating fast food every day multiple times a day for the past god knows how many years, already unable to avoid DIRTY CRAPPED BRIEFS, not showering to the point where he smells like rotting watermelons and considering playing Guitar Hero standing up good exercise?

I'll be surprised if he's alive TEN years from now at this rate. Barb certainly won't be....

 

[Ryan Rash]

He'll be dead. The way his life is going, not even his legendary Cherockian heritage can save him.

 

[GFYS]

Letting men take shits in his mouth for $20 a pop, behind Goodwill. No male taint will go unlicked, so long as Christian Weston Chandler walks this earth.



Pshh, c'mon... That unhealthy fat fuck will be dead before he sees 40.

 

[José Mourinho]

Probably still the same as the Chris currently: similar Facebook posts and its content etc., except instead of his PS3, he would be playing his next-gen Playstation console.
