That is a very poor drawing of Dee Dee. It literally looks nothing like her.

I thought it was a second picture of Bubbles

TV commercials. That's how I found out it existed. If it aired on Cartoon Network he found out Pokemon existed very quickly after launch. Hell, maybe Nintendo sent him a VHS all about Pokemon before it came out/started to air and he begged for it weeks before it launched.

I think Pokemon first appeared on WB

When I was in third grade in 2003 we learned cursive and my teacher said "You're gonna need to use it in high school, so get used to using it now!"

(we never used it in high school)

Wikipedia tells me the 1992 Clinton-Bush Classic election score was actually 32-18. Virginia did in fact vote for "Bushwell" because he's GOP and it's Virginia.

Oddly enough, there was some minor 12th drama around the 2000 Bush-Gore election over where Cheney was actually from because of whether or not a state could vote for both the pres and veep if they were both from the same state (which iirc isn't allowed under the 12th). This was resolved pretty quickly because Cheney's driver's permit was in Wyoming, his home state, and while he owned a house in Texas it was up for sale.

Yeah, Cheney changed his voter registration back to Wyoming, which he had represented in Congress in the '70s, to avoid any Electoral College issues.

And just a quick question to ask; Is it possible that these are the Legendary "Autism Papers" that Bob kept locked away?
Click to expand...
The autism papers are the actual documents containing Chris' diagnosis of "high-functioning autism", so these aren't them. I don't think it's been confirmed nor denied whether or not someone has them, though, or if they were destroyed in the fire.

Pokemon was originally distributed in the US through syndication if I am remember correctly. I remember the local UPN affiliate having it while the local WB affiliate would also have it (not a part of their SUPER DUPER KIDS line up though).
Click to expand...
Yeah, IIRC, the anime was in syndication before it was initially canceled, then, when it came back, WB had the distribution rights.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it say on the CWCki that Chris's academic transcripts are accessible to the public? If so then why couldn't someone like Marvin who lives in the area try calling Manchester High for a copy sooner?

Most schools trash records a year or two after the person graduates to make room for new records, so I'd doubt it's there anymore.
 
Might be a cultural thing, but most people I know stuck with cursive at least through high school. Chris's handwriting has a lot of curls and such, though, not the sort of half-assed simplified cursive scrawl you'd expect. Look at that loop on top of the capital E. Combined with the childish drawings, it's pretty odd.

re: how chris discovered pokemon, i'd venture he saw it in nintendo power

also the powerpuff girls are rad and transcend age

Considering Chris was an avid reader of Nintendo Power from a young age, I'm banking on this. There was a *huge* push from Nintendo Power to market Pokemon Red and Blue in the states. The game got a cover splash on one issue, there was a six part "Pokemon Power" mini-magazine/walkthrough given out in the magazine, Nintendo started the "PokeCenter" feature specifically to showcase only Pokemon fanart and content, and when the TCG came out Nintendo Power gave away stage two evolution cards of the starter Pokemon (plus legitimate NP-only promo cards, Dark Persian and Sabrina's Abra I think?). A Nintendo Power contest was also the first and only way to legitimately obtain Mew in your game for a long while.

You could say it was a pretty big deal and considering how easily Chris buys into marketing and how attractive Pokemon has been been to the autistic community over the years it's a safe bet that Chris was an easy sell.

Chris is a notch older than me, but the fact that all of his assignments are in shitty cursive is strange to me. I know when I was in elementary and middle school there were
still a few older teachers who insisted it was the only
"proper" way to wright, but by high school most of them
told you to knock that shit off because no one can read
it. I wonder if he was just being autistic and unable to
change, or if he's just old enough that cursive was still
encouraged.

I still write in cursive and I'm 20. Have yet to get a complaint from a teacher or professor. Granted, unlike OPL, I was never even close to failing English.

I've always assumed Chris' poor handwriting (both cursive and print alike) stemmed from something like Dysgraphia.

Makes me wonder what he doodled back in the early-to-mid 90's before Pokemon came around. Maybe it was just solidly Sonic, but unlike Pokemon he doesn't seem as obsessed with the whole Sonic franchise as he is with the hedgehog himself since he's shown no interest in making a bastardized Tails expy.

21 here but the same applies to me. I just find cursive easier since it's more linear in how the pen/pencil doesn't leave the paper in the middle of the word.

Sonic the Hedgehog is also incredibly attractive to the autistic community as well for reasons I don't actually know. Despite this, I believe Chris may have bought into Sonic because of the Watch & Win Sweepstakes. All Chris had to do was sit on his ass in front of the television set and he was given $1,000 in free vidya. Hell, I'd worship someone who gave me a straight grand's worth of stuff that I liked. He could've just as easily have created a shitty Street Sharks crossover Mary Sue if he was given a Toys R Us shopping spree from that cartoon.
 
I just graduated from University myself. I dunno if it's the same for the schools in the states, but I didn't graduate with honors (a lot of the marks were around the 50s but in all fairness I didn't open a book. ha ha ha =P ) But I had a sash. Every student got a sash (or in our university's case, fur hoods) the color of which reflects the program. Mine was a bachelor of arts, so it was a black hood with white fur. People who got recognition for high grades or whatever just got a medal or pin or something, I couldn't see what it was from my seat and it was wrapped up.

Also again, dunno if it's the same for the college Chris went to, but you can rent the gowns and hoods from the school for professional photography. Although I'm pretty sure at my school they'll only give you the hood that corresponds to the program you're in, so I couldn't, say, rent a gown and hood for a science degree, it'd have to be a bachelor of arts hood.

Beyond that, yeah, maybe it was Bobs' hood. I dunno if I want to believe Chris graduated with honors. Although he's not going COMPLETELY off the track saying he had an honors degree majoring in in, say.... Logic? lol

It could be that Barb 'n Bob made a strong push for him to learn and use cursive. They came from a time when Penmanship was a subject after all. Penmanship was a class Chris really could've used. So did my 3rd grade class, for that matter. One day my teacher ordered the entire class to never write in cursive for school assignments ever again because she couldn't read the scribbles and smudges we called handwriting. We'd only learned how to write in cursive the year before.

I can't tell if the alt universe where Chris makes a Street Sharks Pokemon crossover instead is more or less hilarious than the one we live in.

Nintendo Power is also what I cite every time someone asks why there's Banjo Kazooie references even though he never seemed to play it. I remember those games plastered NP for years.

I don't know either, but to be honest... I want to be there.

The question still stands - how did Skyraider get a hold of these artifacts?
Click to expand...

There have been a lot of hypotheses that Skyraider works as an insurance adjuster, is a foreman or head of the cleaning crew, or is a local who has a direct affiliation with someone who is working with the Chandlers and/or the corpse of 14BC. I'm more or less a fan of Occam's Razor and I'd like to believe Skyraider simply lives in proximity to 14BC and he is picking up what is literally (and legally) defined as trash from the site.

Skyraider claims he obtained this through "legitimate means". Digging through garbage, while socially unacceptable, is not inherently illegal. When I worked for Blockbuster Video I picked all of the OEM PS3/360/Wii game cases that the company threw away and flipped them on eBay for hundreds of dollars. Completely legal.

Banjo-Kazooie also had a front page feature and the game was promoted pretty regularly if I remember correctly. Nintendo Power offered/sold all sorts of BK merchandise like soundtracks, strategy guides, plushies, etc. I actually bought a Banjo plushie from one of the "Super Power Supplies" catalogs way back in the day.
