Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

This could probably go in any number of threads, but this is the picture that I see when anyone discusses whether there was any genuine love and affection in 14 Branchland:

Chris is around 10 or 11 years old, before he and Bob fled the county. He's got it in his head to ask his parents if they love him, probably thanks to some cartoon or old sitcom that ended on a warm and fuzzy note. He finds one of them downstairs on the phone. Maybe it's Bob, flipping through the phone book, trying to wrangle a lawyer whose time he hasn't totally wasted in entertaining some crazy civil suit. Maybe it's Barb, thumbing through old correspondence and address books, trying to round up old acquaintances out of the blue for whatever it is fiftysomething women do (pinochle?), only to find that none of them are available. Either way, Chris comes quietly into the room, where they're muttering and "mm-hmm"-ing into the phone. He drops it:

"(Mom/Dad), do you love me?"

"Mm-hmm."

Chris walks away, elated.
 
I realize this might be a what if, and that questions need to be within the realm of possibility, but what are the odds that Chris will ever tell a funny joke?

I've always thought that the funniest joke Chris ever told was the the moment where Sonichu mistakes a drawing of himself for a photograph: "But they look so realistic..." In any other comic that would have been a cute, clever meta-joke, since a drawing of a photograph of a drawing is indistinguishable from "real life" for the comic character. (There are similar jokes in Sandman and Deadpool, both of which like to play around with the fourth wall.)

Of course, we know that this is Chris's way of saying "my art is so awesome it looks like photorealism," but I wonder if Chris didn't steal the joke from a cartoon/comic somewhere while missing the whole point of it.
 
Looks like people on the Nintendo Miiverse are making fake Chris accounts.

Virginosauria, Me

Born like this
Into this
As the lego faces smile
As Mr Clyde laughs
As the vibrators break
As canonical landscapes dissolve
As the high-functioning weed-puller holds a CADD
As the oily hands spit out the oily clay
As the moon is tracked

We are
Born like this
Into this
Into these stressfully had chores
Into the sight of skull factory windows of smoke and ashes
Into bars where people no longer speak to each other
Into internet fights that end as shillelaghs and knifings

Born into this
Into game places that are so exclusive that it's easier to cry
Into lawyers who ask so much it's easier to plead insanity
Into a country where your friends are trolls and the world doors closed
Into a place where the masses donate enemies into rich heroes

Born into this
Walking and living through this
Dying because of this
Muted because of this
Castrated
Debauched
Disinherited
Because of this
Fooled by this
Used by this
Pissed on by this
Made crazy and sick by this
Made violent
Made inhuman
By this

We are born into this sorrowful deadliness
We are born into a wallet several credit cards in debt
That soon will be unable to even pay the interest on that debt
And the game place will burn
Running will be useless
There will be open and unpunished murder in the streets
All antagonism will die
The CWCki will be poisoned
The threads and forums will vanish
The rotting bodies of jerks and trolls will stink in the dark wind
The natural effect of general decay
And there will be the most beautiful silence never heard
Born out of that

The moon still hidden there
Awaiting the next season

And yet when I mentioned having a number of kittens a few years ago, people got onto me for not having my cat spayed. Hypocritical much?

...I never had the heart to, is why. I think Miss Lana was at her happiest when she had a litter to take care of. Plus, they killed every mouse and household pest that came skulking around my little three acres of Heaven.

The distinction between an animation aficionado and a hardcore brony is akin to the difference between an oenophile and a fall-down drunk.

More of Tara Strong's work in Beetlejuice. I just love her valley girl accent.

You are a lolcow and a deviant brony who is attracted to animals.
