Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

Of which Chris blessed with a serious case of acne in his comic just to make himself look better!

It's more likely he had bad acne at one point and that stuck with Chris, and Chris is too much of an insensitive asshole to distinguish a temporary skin condition with an identifying feature.

Having terrible acne was probably an identifying feature for this kid to Chris, like Sonic's tan arms.
 
Does anyone keep track of how many iPhones Chris owns?
 
Just a shot in the dark, but someone might have it bookmarked.
I remember once reading a transcript on the CWC Wiki where Chris was on MySpace or Facebook and went onto the page of a stranger (who also happened to be named Chris), where several women (obviously) were wishing Other-Chris a happy birthday. Chris replied with "It's not by birthday, but thanks." The women then had to explain to him that there were other people called Chris.
I've been trying to find this again for awhile, but haven't had any luck. Does anyone remember where this happened?

That was on YouTube:

I think I once even looked this video up and saw those comments in the flesh. It really is a magical thing.
 
What actually happens when the Chandler household needs a plumber, electrician, the IT guy to fix the unresponsive wifi or something?

Apologies if this has been raised before, but I recently saw a live-drawing stream with Chris, and I couldn't help but notice something.... WEIRD!

HOLY AUTISM BATMAN!!! WHAT SORT OF UNHOLY PEN GRIP IS THIS?!?

I'm not going to break my fingers trying to hold on to a pen like this, but WTF IS THIS?!?

It doesn't matter if he's doing the outlines with a pen or coloring, he's using the same autistic death grip on every writing instrument.

Cue the :autism: replies, but can anyone tell me what's going on here? Is this cause he's left handed? Surely not.

Could any art-fags explain this?! And the possible consequences? Is this why Chris's drawings hasn't improved in two decades and why his art is still horrible.

How the he'll did he learn that? Surely someone must have mentioned to him that this isn't how you hold a pen?!?

Also: I noticed that he looks up older drawings constantly.

Almost as if he can't remember how to draw them?

Is that something artists do?

My first thought was: "He's been drawing these for twenty years, surely he knows what they look like, without browsing the back catalogue..."

But I'm not much of an artist myself, so have no idea whether that's completely normal or not. If I'd have to guess, I'd have to go with nope, this is not normal, this is the autisimo that makes Chris unable to remember a face. Thoughts?
 
This has already been discussed a lot, but if I recall it may actually be a pen grip that Chris just coincidentally learned. He's just used to it by now.

He never learned how to properly hold a pen. You see sometimes such pen grips on elementary schoolers who start out learning how to write. But even more often nowadays on adults, as sadly a lot of teachers don't bother anymore to correct them on holding a pen.

Don't know if much will happen, as Chris seems to be pretty used to holding his pen this way. I mean, his drawings and writing look like done by an elementary schooler. Maybe he has or he will have carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis.

It's a shame. I'm sure it does bother newcomers to Chris Chan to simply notice this grip and not think to check the CWCki first before asking here.

You don't seem to understand how lazy and uninformed Chris is. The common theory for why the house fire started in the first place was because the electrical outlet in the bathroom wasn't working, and we already know the kitchen was literally unusable (if you watched the second house tour he did before the fire you'd see it was a legitimate sea of garbage with no path to walk through). So he had to use the bathroom to make coffee with a coffee machine plugged in to the other side of the house.
And there's more, Chris had to use space heaters in the winter because the central heating wasn't working. I wouldn't be surprised if the water boiler even stopped working (they usually shit out at 10 years and I really doubt Bob was healthy enough to replace it anywhere in the 10 years before he died). Chris doesn't care, he'll just fix the house with duct tape to fix it. There's no way he's going to give lego bucks away to hire someone to fix it, and his solution is always to use appliances over extension cords to compensate for the failing utilities. It's really no wonder the house burned down.

At least now they have a new house with new utilities. Like I said, a house with zero repairs being done to it usually starts failing in several ways after a decade. Broken outlets, broken lighting fixtures, rusted pipes, broken water boiler, broken central heating, broken central air, maybe even the fuse box itself will break. And not to mention leaks and all the wonderful mold infestations and structural damage it brings. So in a few years if Chris still has the house after barb dies we'll get to see all the fun ways he thinks of to "fix" the house.

Aye that does put it more into perspective and in regards to the boiler thing I see Chris stop showering entirely rather than wash in cold water. Yet I still somewhat doubt even Chris would shit himself and do nothing if there was, say, no running water or the toilet stopped flushing or the internet connection dropped for days. Maybe I've missed it but I am impressed that in all the years people have followed Chris there was never a household problem that bob or duct tape couldn't handle and required the skill of a 3rd party. Barring the fire itself.

The logical explanation is they were killed and assimilated into the hoard. Wouldn't want the plumber to snitch to Greene County Health Department would we?

I put this in Random Chris Updates but will add it here, as well.
http://www.cville2dc.us/the-march.html

Tuesday evening, the March Against White Supremacy will park in Ruckersville on its way to DC.
I look forward to Christine's opinions.
And the Kiwi's thoughts :)
I'd be surprised if Chris even notices. These days, if it ain't ponies, he don't give a shit.
 
He knows that people his age don't normally consume only children's entertainment and play with toys, but again, he doesn't really understand why not. And the trolls are just a total mystery to him.

I think he consciously knows that, but because atsimu and a dash of imbecility subconsciously assumes that everybody from the mailman to Pmurt are into faggy horsies (and if not, it's only because they never watched it, since it is like the best thing ever), pokeymen, and that before breakfast everyone checks his twitter/facebook first thing in the morning. Whenever he is aware of that not being the case I think he has to make an effort to remind himself of it.

What Chris understands of trolling is pretty amusing. Take the comics for example when Sylvana morphed into Meg from Family Guy to make out with Chris, then do nothing about it or exploiting it in any way, and then gloating "Now this is real trolling!"....What? Pretending to be someone else just for the hell of it? Kissing Chris since he was such a hunk?

He has no clue, he paints trolls as stereotypical, dog-kicking villains whose parents never hugged them. It's funny how he thinks he is important enough for the trolls to hire skywriters or award 9001$ for destroying his Ps3, and how he really thought of them as a hyerarchical, military-like organization instead of a bunch of bored 13 year olds throwing pennies at him and yelling "Sonic is dead!" to laugh at his chimp-outs.
