You know, Chris, the best way to pay tribute to Bob would be to become the son he wanted.


I don't think Chris would make something like that up. When he lies, it tends to be very spontaneous, very transparent and usually it's intended to get him out of some trouble he's got himself into, or to obtain something he wants. There's also the fact that he has a small child's respect/fear of his parents, so I don't think he'd lie about Bob like that.

From Bob's perspective, he grew up about a generation earlier than most parents of children Chris' age, so his youth and much of his adulthood would have been spent in an environment where homosexuals were at best sissies and at worst molesters. I don't believe Bob was the far-right quasi-Nazi Cole paints him as, but I can't imagine he would have been too happy with his son's sudden decision to turn gay.

For someone of Bob's generation it probally says a lot that he called him a faggot but didn't kick him out the house.
 
The sentiment is clumsy, but I think I know what Chris might be going for with it.

According to Christian belief, we are "reborn" into a new spiritual body once we leave this earth, not the exact same thing as reincarnation, but close enough. And I don't think he's lazy with the "I miss you Mom" picture he posted, he was just saying he feels the same, but for his departed father.

I might just be feeling extra generous since it's the holidays, but it is nice to see Chris really does miss his father. :heart-full:
 
Bob would have drowned you if he had known the total failure at life you were going to become, Chris.
 
R.I.P. Papa.

Oh no I don't doubt for a second Chris actually loved bob. Hell, there's an infamous unreleased video where someone contacted Chris to see how he was doing, and when the subject of Bob came up he broke down and cried uncontrollably for the rest of the call. He definitely misses his dad, it's just that he has a hard time expressing how he feels about it because he's so completely fucked up in the head. I may love laughing at Chris for being a complete idiot, but I'm willing to cut him some slack when it comes to him and his father. Losing a loved one is hard, and I know it has to be hard on Chris because losing Bob and losing Patty are probably the greatest tragedies he's ever faced in his life. He may not be able to deal with them the way most people would, but I still think at the very least Chris and his feelings towards his lost loved ones should be respected.
 
Chris maybe a lolcow,childish,insensitive,idiot but he is still human (to a point as some would think) losing a parent is not always easy, in Chris's case it's worse because Bob and Barb were the only people who ever truly loved him (yeah yeah I know) even if they showed it the wrong way at times. I do feel for Chris in that aspect, however I know after this he will go back to posting about the young warrior challenge, his wish list, being a female soul and then it just makes that whole moment of feeling, vanish like a mirage.
 
The Human side of me says "aw man..sad time of year for this big little boy"
The KIWI side of me says "this is a fucking set up. queue the goddamned e-Begging in Loving Begging Memory" videos....
 
Bob loved Chris and tried to protect him, and Chris realizes that. In fact, his affection towards his father might be the most genuine gratitude he's ever displayed. Although Bob spent his final years being eaten alive by insects and stunned by his son's Tomgirl antics, at least he knew that he was loved, and that's no small thing.

This latest Facebook post is trademark Chris; tragic and hilarious at the same time. Bob really is the best mother Chris ever had.

*Feels* Chris would come across as more sympathetic if he had not tried to justify his bad spending habits and his desire for donations with that terrible little comic strip.
 
Whenever Chris's Internet goes out, It's Bob shutting that Goddamn thing off and cutting it down with his Internet lumberjack axe

I wish I could find sympathy for Chris and the loss of his dad; but then I remember that he's used his dad as a crutch and assault among "trolls" and his enemies.

So; the main thing to acknowledge is that Chris misses Bob...because Chris had less work to do when Bob was alive.

I think he preferred Bob because he did all the house work so chris could sit around all day.

There's a Facebook post in which he explicitly says he had more freedom when Bob was alive. But I don't doubt he misses his dad because he loved him. I think we've all had someone close to us pass away, & we all thought "man, I wish I'd spent more time with this person," or "maybe I should've called more often." I think that's how Chris is feeling.
