Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[DangDirtyTrolls]

This isn't worth its own thread, but: I got my MANOS on a copy of Chris's high school yearbook, and there is NOTHING in there about him except the one picture everyone gets. As far as anyone else was concerned, apparently, he might as well never have been at Manchester High at all.
There was nothing in there about who made honor roll either, and nothing that could conclusively solve the prom mystery.

I did have a laugh at their comically antiquated computer lab full of IBM PS/2's though. CWC's Pokesite 2 must have pushed those machines to their limits

Nice one, bit of a shame there's no new info to be mined from it but it's to be expected. To Chris his high school years were the best time of his life and it's all been downhill from there but in reality he was just a regular, unremarkable slow kid who most others probably trolled but then quickly forgot about. He was a towel boy on the basketball team, he got ridiculed by other kids and we have no evidence he ever hung out with any of his 'friends' from school outside of school hours.

Chris actually seems like he had a pretty shitty high school experience, the kind most would put behind them, but he lauds it as the greatest time in his life and the worst part of it all is he's right.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

Yeah, his high school years sucked, but they were the least sucky part of his life. It's no wonder he looks back on it with fondness.

At least Chris got out of the house and socialized with people back then.

I'm sorta surprised Chris never got into the Sims with how much he likes to create avatars and play pretend. If he turned cheats on he'd have a perfect little wonderland full of soft rounded corners

lower on the "why didn't he play that" list is stuff like mass effect with corny little romance subplots. he eats that shit up

 

[kagayaki]

The Sims... I'd imagine the many ways in which Chris' avatar would mess with virtual versions of his family and friends. Who knows, he would also recreate his own wardrobe as skins for his character.

Great! Thanks for sharing. That solves a mystery.

Please don't tell me you paid $100 for it.

Is there a big picture in there of the entire senior class on the bleachers or anything? My school did that. I'm just wondering who he's standing with if there is.

There is, but it's hard to see because there are like a few hundred people in the class and the photo's not particularly high-res. I couldn't pick him out - if he was even there; he might have already run off crying. They dressed the JERKS in black graduation gowns and the gals in white, and arranged everyone to make an "M", so he was most likely next to 2 other JERKS.

I'll make some scans later just in case anyone can pick out more details from this and the prom stuff that I couldn't.

Oh, and no one signed the yearbook or anything like that, though someone did write "MHS IS GAY" on one of the pages XD
Their school musical Chris's senior year was "Fiddler on the Roof", but it obviously didn't teach him any sensitivity toward Jews.

 

[DangDirtyTrolls]

How'd you come across a copy of his year book? Did you order that $70 one off Amazon someone linked to a while ago?

 

[Henry Bemis]

Their school musical Chris's senior year was "Fiddler on the Roof", but it obviously didn't teach him any sensitivity toward Jews.

Chris seems to have some sort of affinity for musicals, but Fiddler would be a hard sell on account of his short attention span, latent xenophobia, and the downer ending. (Not to mention possibly upsetting to his sensory defensiveness.)

I wonder: we all know that Chris isn't going to get himself a sweetheart because no one's going to go out and get him one. But say that by some miracle someone he knew did set him up with an in-person lady. What would he talk about? What would he do? How long would the date last?

1.) The question isn't "What would he talk about?" The question is "How much one-sided conversation and 'hmm yeahs' can she take before socking him in the jaw?"
2.) Twiddle his thumbs and sweat profusely, waiting for her to give his Boner 747 the all-clear for landing.
3.) Probably about as long as his date with Faeryn, assuming they are not alone.

I've been wondering, who took the photos from that date? Was it some random person that she gave the camera to, or was there someone else there with them?

The person Faeryn was flipping off was the photographer.

Does Chris still drink Alcohol? I remember the video he first drank that Long Island Ice Tea stuff, and later he stated he tried a bunch of different drinks, but has he said anything about it recently?

He would drink, if he could, but he doesn't frequently have the opportunity.

Are you sure it wasnt LIQUID's picture?

 

[Overcast]

I wonder if Chris ever flew on a plane before. Just imagine the poor guy/gal who would have to sit next to him and deal with his stench.

Edit: Nevermind I was completely wrong.

[cwc=Mumble_1]He has[/cwc].

Mmm... Yeah I thought of visiting another country, but you know it's uh expensive. I mean uh, I went- I mean uh I've only traveled on airplane one time. It was to fly all the way to California to visit my uh, half brother Cole Smithey who has a website ColeSmithey.com

 

[Thetan]

I was listening to some of the classic Chris prank calls (made with one of the soundboards that are floating around on the 'net), and I noticed how in almost every case, the target of the call mistook Chris for a woman.

The McDonald's call is especially funny:

Chris being mistaken for a woman got me thinking about the whole Tomgirl thing which came later. No real point to be made I guess: just found it somewhat interesting / ironic considering what transpired later.

Liquid was in the "VALEDICTORIAN" square, of course. I did re-scan a certain individual from the A's though.
I uploaded the only semi-relevant scans here:

Maybe some eagle-eyed trolls can figure out if he really went to prom or not, or Where's-Waldo him out of the bleacher pic.

By the way, there are a couple of Providence Middle School yearbooks on Amazon for $30 apiece, if anyone feels like throwing good money down the toilet.

Kellie Andes was Prom Queen. Nothing but the best for Chris

 

[Picklepower]

Wow, I did not know you could order random year books. My senior year, all the seniors got a whole page for like, a bio, and pics and stuff, 2 pages if you paid extra. I could see what a CWC senior page would look like, it would be all those awkward family pics, and the text would be stuff about Pokémon cards, and gal pals. Did he get a senior quote?

I have a feeling this is him on the top of the left side of the M.

Spoiler

It's a typical shitty yearbook halftone image of a giant group shot, so it's not easy. But it looks like the person is wearing glasses, unlike most of the Manchester JERKS, and the hair length looks about right. It's also probably a safe bet that Chris wouldn't be sitting down in front where all the jocks and cool kids are, and this is about as far to the back as you can get for a guy in that photo.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Did he get a senior quote?

Nah, no one had seinor quotes, pages, or any of that. Some people's families bought ad space in the back for extra congratulations messages or what-have-you, but not the Chandlers.

They had senior superlatives, but surprisingly Chris didn't win "Laziest". I guess if you're so lazy people don't know you exist, they can't vote for you.
