At least the perfect hybrid he suggested wasn't Sonichu.
 
...What? Is this some kind of common saying I've never heard of or is this just Chris being exceptional? Sure sounds like the latter.

Muddled-up Proverbs
A good demonstration of Chris's lack of understanding of semantics is the fact that he doesn't really understand proverbs and adages; he frequently recites them incorrectly, clearly misses the point, or takes them literally. When he comes up with his own, he doesn't exactly try to veil any wisdom in carefully crafted phrases.

Examples of Chrisverbial Wisdom:

  • "Those who are unable to, teach."[8]
  • "The shaped OBJECT is the BODY of the Item, but the STICKER is the Item's SOUL."[9]
  • "A sound thought is a good thought, unless it is a bad idea."[10]
  • "The pen is mightier than the sword, yet it is more permanent than a pencil."[10]
The last example illustrates several problems: "The pen is mightier than the sword" (a phrase originally coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the man who also coined the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night") is, of course, generally regarded as a statement that words can have bigger consequences than violence. Chris doesn't understand this, and tries to somehow interpret this concretely: "pen is more permanent than a pencil." It is also problematic because normally, "A, yet B" is usually a statement by contrasts: "A may be true, but a contrary example B is true as well." Still, Chris fails at explaining why it's so important that pens are more permanent than pencils, and what that has to do with the original phrase — the meaning of Chris's proverb remains unclear to all, probably including Chris himself.

There was this married couple, George and Barbie, and they have been working at having children of their own. One night, George came home after work, and he was tired. Barbie welcomed him home, "Hi, Honey. Rough Day?" "Yeah," George replied, "I'm tired." Barbie said, "Well, why don't you and me go upstairs, and we'll have some Breakfast." "Breakfast," George replied, "At Nine-Thirty in the evening?" Barbie replied, "Sure, Dear, you bring theMILK, and I'll get an EGG." Later, they had a boy and a girl, Junior Bacon and Orange Juice. All Part of aBalanced Breakfast.

I love this quote so much, Chris doesn't come out with CWCisms like this very much nowadays. It's always good when he tries to sound wise but ends up coming across as an idiot instead.

I'm wondering why he's been tweeting random people so much as well these days. Almost every time he has nothing valid to add to the conversation himself but that doesn't stop him
 
FYI, Chris basically hamfisted together two tiny sets in the Lego Dimensions series. Sets which were already included in the same box:

People get really annoyed at Chris for all sorts of reasons, many of them admittedly irrational. I personally can't get over how wholly unoriginal he is with Lego, despite spending an absurd amount of money on it. It's a toy DESIGNED for creativity, and Chris can't do jack shit with it after practicing for 30 years. His DRAWING skills show more signs of improvement than his lego skills.
