Awww. He looks like a budding little serial killer in this photo. Seriously, I think its the combination of his pedo glasses, the clownshirt (which is moderately more tolerable than the garish, multi-coloured fashion abortions he usually wears), and that soulless expression on his face.

But no, seriously, other than Chris being weird, it looks like any other family photo from somewhere in the 90s. The old TV and computer kind of give it away. Actually sort of make me nostalgic. Ha, go figure. The other thing is that the hoard really doesn't seem to be imposing into the Chandlers' lives at this point. I mean, its a little cluttered, but its fairly normal clutter. Potted plants and the like. I assume the balloons and plastic cups are for a birthday and will soon be thrown out.

The only other thing that strikes me as weird is the lack of books in this or any other Chandler family picture, but then I come from a family of readers and have a huge collection of books at my place. Maybe I'm just weird like that.

What I love the most about this picture is how "white" it is. Tiny little apartment, small cluster of balloons, that 1990's computer over to Chris' left, the rinky dink table with red Solo cups, and fucking Good Burger on the TV.

Yeah. Not to sound racist here, but there are some white people who really manage to pull off that boring, small town thing. Not that there's anything wrong with it of course, but yeah. Of course, Chris' parents were from a different era. They didn't know better, and likely didn't care. I'm sure that life in the Chandler home would have been pretty bland without Chris to... well I don't know, whatever Chris does.

I also noticed the scanner up on top of the PC tower over there. Imagine all the horrors that thing saw.

Oh yes. Just think of all the crap Chris must have drawn over the years that we haven't seen. Yet. I'm sure SkyRaider is working on that...

Well he would join the ranks of JustinRPG, Reymon14 and Kevin Havens as people who will probably die alone. They are lulzy for different reasons, JustinRPG thinks he is married to some pokemon, Reymon14 his voice reminds me of someone I used to go to highschool with, and is a wrestling mark (A person who is enthusiastically devoted and passionate about Pro Wrestling) and Kevin Havens is someone who buys lifesize dolls, SomethingAwful and Encyclopedia Dramatica both made fun of him.

Thanks. I can't say as I was really aware of any of these lolcows but I'm going to have to look them up. Also, what's with lolcows being obsessed with Pokemon and wrestling? I know plenty of normal people who are into one or the other of those, or both, but it seems a disproportionate number of people like Chris and Jace also are. I can remember one guy I went to high school with who was obsessed with WWF, WCW, ECW, etc. And yes, he really was obnoxious about it. Hell, his entire wardrobe must have consisted of wrestling t-shirts...

One could wonder if he was separated at birth from Chris...

It's got to be great to go to a party and be the only one there.

I'm also quite fond of the tiny Mario head in the bottom near the TV.

For me, it's the Chip and Dale dolls behind Chris. The way they're looking at each other makes it seem like they're horrified at what they see. Also can anyone identify the VHS tapes on top of the TV? It's kind of weird they have two of them standing up. Actually, it's just occurred to me that Chris set them up like that for the gal-pals to choose which one to watch. Good Burger must've seen pretty good compared to the other two.

Well, one of them is definitely a Red Skelton compilation:

Not sure what the other one is though. The bright pink case and big, yellow lettering makes me think its some sort of kids' show, but that's solely conjecture on my part.

I will say its kind of weird that all the VHS tapes look like they are in those big, puffy cases. I remember VHS cases being smaller and made of hard plastic. Do you think that's just because his parents were raiding the bargain bins or is it because they were taken from some sort of video rental place? Either way, that seems much stranger to me.

 

[Bridechu]

I remember a lot of Disney and other kids' movies coming in the "puffy cases". Some blockbusters on their first releases, too.

This photo reminds me of my own birthdays...when I was 6. Chris was EIGHTEEN FUCKING YEARS OLD.

Also, high-five, reading family buddy. My family practically hoards books. I sometimes can't believe how little Chris read growing up. You think that would be a way for Borb to have an easier time mainstreaming him.

I can't say I'm surprised Chris offered Red Skelton seeing as how he happily emulated his parent's old fashioned choice of media. The other one looks pretty generic. It definitely screams bargain bin entertainment. Perhaps the Celebrity's Just for Kids brand?

Which is why no woman would want him. Even mail order brides desperate to escape starvation on frozen Russian tundra. Chris is going to die sad and alone, possible after preserving Barb's corpse in the hoard.

Actually, Chris is perfect for the type of woman trying to escape a third world hellhole. All they'd have to do is entice him with the promise of hanky-panky until they can get a hold of the tugboat and then either they move themselves into a separate apartment and continue to con Chris out of money with the excuse that they're just fixing up their future love nest but keep encountering setbacks or she stays with him just long enough to find a better man and then ditches him. But not before taking him for all he's worth.

So, some melted legos and some ?

Except that Chris isn't worth all that much. And there are far easier marks, with far more money and stability. Chris is this close to being homeless and even the most desperate woman doesn't want to live in a hoarder house with Barb.

Sure there are easier targets, but Chris would still be a target. And as nasty as Fatty's current home might be (and as bad as his previous home was) it'd still be better than the place were the woman left. As much as we like to talk about how much of a wreck his homes have been and how filthy they are, all they are is just that, filthy. Nobody's trying to kill you there, you won't be beaten for wearing "improper" clothing, no one's going to torture you for believing in the wrong interpretation of an invisible sky deity, and as shitty as fast food is, it's food. You wouldn't starve.

The tugboat may not be much, but people have killed for less.

Though considering none of this is ever likely to happen, I don't think Fatty will have to worry too much about it.

You seem to have a pretty bad impression of developing countries. Even by third world standards, hoarder houses are pretty filthy. Barring a handful of places like Somalia or Haiti, hoarders would be disgusting by most of the rest of the world. And that's including countries that still use latrines, or dump waste in the ocean. And aside from Saudi Arabia (which is solely propped up by the US) or Afghanistan, there aren't many places so authoritarian as you describe either. Some that are bad, yes, but hell... I could name places in the US that are pretty bad too. Wanna walk through Chicago or East St. Louis or Gary or Detroit at night? And I say this as someone who lived in Chicago.

I lived with an abusive prick, before. During that low point, I would have jumped at the opportunity to spend a few weeks at 14 BC instead of under the threat of having to fight someone to the death, sleeping under a highway, and bathing in a bus terminal bathroom. I wouldn't worry about a spineless weakling like Chris victimizing me, and - if I were his type (I'm not) - he'd be easy to manipulate by just batting your eyes at his naive face. I know I'm not the only one whose faced similar circumstances, where a place like 14 BC isn't all that bad. Though, honestly, jail would probably be better.

tl;dr, things can get pretty shitty, even in the good ol' USA.

I think there's a difference between developing and third world nations. And most people don't have too good an impression of third world nations.

Even by third world standards, hoarder houses are pretty filthy. Barring a handful of places like Somalia or Haiti, hoarders would be disgusting by most of the rest of the world.

Disgusting yes, but much safer then say, a concentration camp. Like the ones in Myanmar.

And that's including countries that still use latrines, or dump waste in the ocean. And aside from Saudi Arabia (which is solely propped up by the US) or Afghanistan, there aren't many places so authoritarian as you describe either.

There aren't as many major countries like that. But there are hundreds of smaller dictatorships that exist throughout the world that have no problem brutalizing the people into submission.

Some that are bad, yes, but hell... I could name places in the US that are pretty bad too. Wanna walk through Chicago or East St. Louis or Gary or Detroit at night? And I say this as someone who lived in Chicago.

You'll get no argument from me here.

Too bad women in that position are unlikely to be White. No darkies for Chrissy.

Oddly enough I found this picture by accident on /cgl, someone just did a random dump of 3 or 4 CWC pictures and this was one of them. I've never seen it before and I find it pretty unsettling that the baby is the only one looking at the camera person. Anyone know the back story on this one?

Aaw maybe he was just bashfull meeting Jackie Chan (Allthough he looks more like Beat Takeshi)

looks like a mid 90s Packard Bell, which was withdrawn from the US market around the late 90s

the other two must have been some bargain bin tapes Barb bought

Except, you know, for Russia, Ukraine (the "bridebasket of Europe," to quote The Onion), Poland, the former Yugoslavia, Romania, etc.
