Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

Well on the other hand, I think Bob's willingness to mingle with Korean churches is not proof of his tolerance either. Plenty of people from that era hold certain negative assumptions about specific groups, then meet members of those groups who behave opposite to those assumptions, only to be considered the exceptions no matter how many times these "exceptions" are encountered. Those "yeah but you don't count" statements happen all the time. I think we're back to square one, not knowing Bob is one way or another.

Oh, I agree. I don't mean to use the Korean church et al to say Bob was tolerant, so much as to point out that we have anecdotal examples on both sides, and none of it is particularly conclusive.

Would you happen to have any examples of this that you could share that aren't widely known Marvin? I always found his relationship with Bob to be one of the more curious things about Chris and by Chris's own admission that Bob 'started more arguments than there are flies in a garbage dump,' I can imagine he complained about Bob to the people he'd chat with online quite often.

I'm already imagining most of them are pretty mundane though sadly, but some we know, like the fact they'd argue and be split over what's better between McDonalds and Burger King, are still hilarious.

Unfortunately, it seems like Chris mostly stuck to the same few offenses Bob committed against him (like making him pull weeds) and that's it.

What's pretty sad is that Chris now mostly mythologizes Bob, now that he's gone. Not constantly, but once in awhile, Chris will bring up little Bob anecdotes in conversation. Like if you mention that you went to a Korean restaurant, Chris might chime in with Bob's military history.

Has anyone noticed besides me that in like the 1st 8(0-7) issues of Sonichu and art that was made in between those, all the female anthropomorphic characters mostly look like all of them have the same body as the males, then got a sex change operating before Sonichu 8, hell even then in Sonichu 8 sometimes they still look like they still are male without breast implants, by Sonichu 9, the male body build was mostly intact...though still occasionally the female build was there, though in Sonichu 10....the female build is basically mostly the only thing for the females, though art for Sonichu 11 and after, he seems to flip-flop on it. I do read them in my head the times i do read the comics with all the Rosechus and associated anthropomorphic females with deep deep deep baritone voices

Is that sad? It seems like a fairly common thing for people to do. And given Chris' lack of subtlety, it seems like the only real options were a) bitterness blaming Bob for all of his problems b) mythologizing him or c) forgetting about him entirely. I think mythologizing him might be the best option. Although I haven't seen it, so maybe it goes over the top in weird ways.

Chris has always co-opted his parents experiences in a weird way. Accuse him of having no business sense and he brings up how his mother was a secretary in various businesses. Accuse him of being unpatriotic and he brings up his father's military service. He takes his parentage seriously in a way you don't see very often.

And yet he's still a nobody.

It's common in people who have nothing to show for themselves. It's like the opposite of parents trying to live vicariously through their successful kids.

But yeah there weren't many options for Chris regarding remembering Bob.

Of course he probably just misses his dad.

Question I don't think ever got answered.

What paid for rebuilding 14BLC after the fire? The move back from the rental house was the same time Chris maced someone so that event totally overshadowed everything.
 
I just want to say, as a CWC fan, this has been a very good year so far, 2016.

January had the lesbian sleepover, fallout, and an exclusive interview with OPL. February, more interviews, Chris begging for a PS4, and the FROZEN NAVY TUPERWARE. March, Chris flashes da boobies, gets a PS4 anyway, Barb gets sued, and in April Chris reveals his breast massage routine to the world.

Every time somebody says, "this cow has been milked dry" OPL continues to amaze us. Especially now that he has become more and more estranged from reality, with his tv and computer being his only windows to the outside world...
