I wonder if they'd bother keeping records on a student who graduated over a decade ago. I mean, I suppose it's possible, but I doubt it.

One of the three high schools I attended (My dad's job transferred us across the country a couple of times) had a policy where they would retain a student's records for up to eighty years after graduation before they were destroyed. If you withdrew from that district for any reason before graduating, your records were kept for just five years before being put in the circular file.

So, yes, it is possible that Chris and his permanent record are both still on file at Manchester High.
 
I realize it's essentially trolling, but someone should totally call Chris' bluff and actually contact MHS and get his high school transcript and post it. Not because I really doubt that perhaps he's lying through his ass and/or probably thinks graduating high school actually means he was on honor roll, but just because whenever Chris gets caught being a lying sack a shit is always hilarious.

What's the worst that the FCC could do? Would he just get a cease and desist, or would it just be exorbitant fines?

I actually work with a few radio stations and yeah, if the FCC was going to act, they wouldn't be so kind as to send out any C&Ds. To give you an idea of what kind of fees the FCC throw around, they will ding a radio station a cool $5,000 for simply failing to identify themselves once per hour. Although I don't believe the FCC would waste their time chasing after some autistic manchild for trying to sell CD-Rs of a nearly 25-year old recording from the equivalent of a public access radio station, if they were feeling ornery, they could easily slam Chris with a fee in the five-figure category.

There isn't any evidence that he didn't give the money from his lemonade stand to charity. Chris is greedy and stupid but I don't think he usually outright lies that he's going to give money to charity and then doesn't do it.

True enough I suppose, although there is the counterexample of that trip Chris took to Redmont, was it?

Eh, wasn't MHS in Chesterfield County?
 
I don't think anyone here is going to argue that Fatty honestly earned honour roll.

Not after Skyraiders drops at least.

I can't remember if he claimed Deans List at PVCC though...

Didn't his master plan from the sale of the "original drawing" in the event it sold for the full $1000 effectively involve him using half of it to lie to his mother as he claimed it would be from the Tugboat such that he could then use the Tugboat money for more LEGO?

Piedmont Virginia Community College is Chris's collegiate alma mater, a community college located in Charlottesville, Virginia. At PVCC,Chris earned an Applied Science Associate's Degree in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design. After five years of study, Chris earned his degree, even though students are expected to earn associate's degrees after two years in the U.S. He also made the Dean's List, or so he claims.

But wasn't the lemonade stand in association with the church? There must've been some supervision on that one. But much like the contest where he said he would share the winnings with the congregation, it came down to it that they didn't get as much as he originally pledged. Without proper supervision for fundraising, who's to say he won't use those tens of dollars to cover shipping as the eBay orders come in, and conveniently forget to forward WTJU their fair share?

Uh I don't remember hearing anything confirmed about how he's gypped the intended charity recipients before but I could be wrong.

I mean I guess you never know for sure but it's not like he's claiming he's going to donate lots of money to charity so I wouldn't worry about that aspect of it too much unless a Christorical figure gets wind that he's graduated from dumb Lego hoarder to con man.

Not sure if you're being facetious but Chris didn't raise money to go to Redmond as far as I know.

Ok, I've talked about this whole honor roll shit before and I really think I've got the answer.

So in my HS the special ed kids that were graduating usually got a sash that looked similar to the sashes valedictorians, honor roll students, and big time scholarship winners got. The were usually the same color with a little different fringe or insignia on it; nothing super noticeable to anyone who can't remember their own face (i.e.: Chris). We had a kid with down syndrome who was 19 graduate with us who had a sash that looked almost identical to the band kids sash; we also had a kid who was severely autistic (and something else, not sure) that got a sash that looked pretty damn close to the valedictorian's sash. None of these kids got near perfect grades; I think the guy with down syndrome got Cs and Ds (mainstream grades and Sp. Ed. grades) and the autistic guy barely passed; pretty sure he shouldn't have when I think about it.

Now these sashes were never described to these individuals as "You're special but we love you and want you to feel special sashes"; I really have no idea what their parents or anyone else told them. But in my mind what happened with Chris was this;

Chris: Why do I have to wear this itch/irritating thing?! (remember his aversion to things rubbing on his neck) Or maybe "What is this mommy?"
Barb: Why honey; it's your honor roll sash; see? The girl over there has one too and she's on the Dean's List. You have to wear it so people know how smart you are!
Chris: I got honor roll??? Wow! And because that girl made the Dean's List and Honor Roll, I must have too!!
*Later*
Chris: I NEVER GOT RECOGNIZED FOR MY AMAZING TALENTS IN MATH, AND ART, AND SONICHU, AND MY HONOR ROLL!!

We've seen Chris's grades; there is no way in hell he graduated "with Honor Rolls and Dean's List" as he says. I could see him getting on the honor roll maybe once, just one semester; but to graduate with the sash you have to get it and stay on the honor roll throughout high school (or at least, that's how mine was).
 
Yeah that warning about a outside transactions. I don't think I've ever seen one of those.

He made deans list once or twice in cc, way in the beginning before all the drama with MLW.

The thing to remember about the lemonade stand is that it coincided with a concentrated effort on Chris's part (bear with me here) to walk the straight-and-narrow, or at least appear to do so, having been arraigned a few months before and lacking much other evidence of good character. (Because good character overpowers all legalese.) He thought his Pokemon gym leader stint got him out of a stern(er) punishment in for the Target incident, so why not a lemonade stand to counter a failure to stop charge?

Here, there's nothing that can hold Chris back from lying. There was no formal agreement between him and the station, and therefore no consequences for breaking it.
 
I get where your coming from Henry but I just don't see Fatty putting that much fore-thought into, well anything really.

I still think he did it just for the t-shirt. As asinine as that sounds but hey it fits Fatty's history IMHO

Shit, my school gave sashes for everything and I came from a town where most of us will work as construction workers or in the logging area, maybe even a fisherman off lake Huron. I actually got a stupid sash for getting into community college.
Chris whined then raged about not getting an award but I say the school gave him "honor roll" so he wouldn't run off the stage crying, but look what happened.
