Facebook Update 05/28/14 Looks like Simonla isn't the only zombie

Given how uptight and tense he is, getting stoned might actually turn him normal. At the very least, we can expect the CWCville drug laws to be overturned.

And then the would have something else to be spent on.

I've always thought it would be funny if you could get Chris to try a couple cigarettes. Just a couple. Because he would instantly forget all his DARE anti-tobacco indoctrination and become a massive chainsmoker. I could picture Chris making a 5 minute video and nervously igniting a new cigarette the instant he puts out an old one without even thinking about it. And then of course, the tugboat would be that much further underwater.

And he'd burn down another house.

Are you sure he would like it? I mean...cigarettes have a strong smell which he may not like (if he can smell it over his own stench) and they cost precious lego money, not to mention they look like slim pickles.

It wouldn't be the smell, but that the smoke might be a bit harsh for Chris. He wouldn't care about lego money though, because it'd be an addiction, just like legos are. It'd be the next legos, if you could get Chris into it.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

I'd love to see Chris begging for money for cigarettes or for people to send him cigarettes.

"Smokes, let's go."

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

I don't see Chris smoking marijuana, because of his hatred of the smoke. I could see him eating a brownie or two.

Or five and getting violently too high. He'd probably start crying, if he wouldn't be so dried out.

 

[Pinhead]

Violently too high? What kinda shit have you been smoking?

No, I think pot would be a bad idea if he didn't have someone to guide him through it. He can barely parse reality as it is.

If I was gonna get him high, I'd let him smoke say, one pipe, and then I'd put myself through hell and play LEGO with him, so he's comfortable. Then I'd give him another and crank up some Fraggle Rock. I don't think anybody can be unhappy watching Fraggle Rock.

 

[Le Bateleur]

How did Chris get on with alcohol? From what I could gather, didn't he go through a period of sitting in bars, playing his DS, drinking one drink after another? He then stopped once $ got tight.

If this is true: what did he drink, and how many did he have in a typical session?

 

[Marvin]

Violently too high? What kinda shit have you been smoking?

Oh, I can't smoke myself too high. But if you're eating cannabis food, it's slow acting. So if you eat a few brownies quickly, it hits you all at once, and it's horrifying. You like have to remember to breathe. It's scary as hell.

Heh, me and some inner circle people did that one time at a convention. My sister gave me some weed brownies that she said were "pretty strong". But, of course, we didn't pay attention to that and we just wolfed them down. It was... not fun.

Yeah, that's probably a good way to go.

Nah, Chris didn't drink that much. He had a few beers, tops. Now, the funny thing about Chris and beer is that he put sugar (or maybe some artificial sweetener) in his beer.

LOL

Just a sweet little bawdle of Bud

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

He has very childish tastes, it not surprising he dislike beer and has to turn it into what is basically alcoholic soda pop.

Lightweights who have no tolerance for THC tend to get "the fear", it happened to Maureen Dowd and she wrote a "POT IS EVIL" article about it because she's an idiot.

That's what most people got from the article (at least what the mainstream media is running with). Plus, she was an idiot for doing zero research on a mind-altering substance--especially a recreational one--before consuming it. However, I kind of agree with the main point of the article--at least putting something on a label telling people "don't eat all of this at once" is a good idea. I said it somewhere else a few days ago, but the legal market is aimed at experienced smokers, which creates issues when people who have no clue what they're doing decide to try weed.

Actually, I found that alcohol has a bigger impact on you than smoked weed, and its also cheaper.

 

[Mogambo]

Didn't he have a thing for Long Island iced teas though? Not surprised he never got into drinking reeb though. I mean, he was vehemently anti-alcohol, tobacco and marijuana for years, if his Sonichu comics are to be believed. It seems to reflect his overly moralizing nature, though its interesting for a kid growing up in the South to never get into drinkin', smokin' or chewin'. Well, a kid who wasn't raised Baptist at least. Those guys tend to be all sorts of screwed up. I remember one Baptist guy I went to school with; he didn't swear because that was taking the Lord's name in vain. He'd even punch you if you swore in front of him. But he had no problem smoking pot or selling it (and he sold good pot). Also had a kid out of wedlock before he graduated high school. Wouldn't have been so bad if he didn't criticize another girl who did the exact same thing. But then, she was Catholic. *rolls eyes*

Anyway, sugar in beer sounds... pretty gross actually. Granted, I'll take a rum and coke (which is pretty sugary, because soda is pretty much all sugar) but I wouldn't pour sugar packets into my beer... let alone artificial bloody sweetener. In fact, sometimes I like my beer nice and hoppy.

Chris' first drink (I think) was a long island iced tea, but I don't think he had a thing for them. He started drinking beer after having the LIIT.

Well, it was moralizing, but he didn't have a personally strong opinion about drugs or alcohol either way. Considering how quickly he changed his mind on the subject. He parroted typical anti-drug/anti-drinking stuff, just filtered through his perceptions.

Growing up in the south? I see people bringing up Chris' "southern" upbringing and I don't really get it. Chris grew up in Virginia, near cities. I mean, maybe they're more different south of the Potomac than I'm thinking, but I didn't notice anything too strange when I visited Charlottesville. (Yeah, Virginia smokes only a bit more than Maryland, for example.)

Heh, well, it's not sugary alcoholic drinks that's the problem, because those drinks are meant to be that way. It's Chris misunderstanding beer.

 

[Picklechu]

Yeah, the whole "growing up in the South" angle is pretty irrelevant on most fronts when discussing Chris. I mean, I'm from Alabama, and most people aren't like that. Admittedly, there are a greater proportion of moralizing, bible-thumper types, but most people either (A) just ignore them or (B) parrot them while doing the opposite of what they preach.

Really, there's nothing in Chris' behavior, personality, etc. that wouldn't have developed in the way it did if he lived in a non-southern state.

Well and also if the brownie had the indica strain she probably would have just chilled

I don't know if this is confirmed or not but I think he drank the LIIT because Marge Simpson drank one once.

But he said it went down salty
