Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[cypocryphy]

That reminds me of how my nickname in high school was Chandler because people thought I looked like Matthew Perry.

Back then I would never have imagined what that name would one day mean to me.

Dean's list requirements are not exactly demanding. My alma mater is Texas A&M, not a community college, and I made the Dean's list on multiple semesters -- and I literally coasted through my entire university education studying for a grand total of zero tests (including finals) and purposefully skipping assignments when I knew taking a zero wouldn't hurt my grade too much.

Not to be an asshole, but while it may be leaps and bounds above a community college Agriculture and Mechanical schools aren't exactly known for their academic rigor. At what we in Canada would call a University being on the Dean's list is an actual thing.

Not that any of this is relevant, because Chris went to a community college, where students are marked on their ability to occupy space and pay tuition.

Look I hate Texas A&M and the entire culture it stands for more than anyone (hook 'em) but it isn't an agriculture and mechanical college anymore. It's one of two flagship public universities in the state and the third hardest university to get into after Rice and UT.

Thanks, I was just about to say that. I attended Texas A&M in Corpus Christi which has incredible marine biology, kinesiology, and performing arts studies; while I was enrolled there they erected a gorgeous/massive performing arts hall. They also have one of the best basketball teams in the country (or did while I was there at least).

I am by no means an Aggie and I do not subscribe to any goofy ass mantras, memetic catchphrases, or the bullshit camaraderie that runs rampant within the "A&M vs. UT" feud or whatever. I attended A&M because it was fairly close to my hometown, I got a great deal on rent in the city off campus, and Texas A&M is a relatively reputable and well respected college. Plus, I wanted to see a beach.

Really? When did you graduate? I went to Baylor myself.

TAMUCC Class of 2011.

If Chris had a legitimate reason to leave the house would he be allowed to? Or would Barb sit on him until he stopped breathing?

I doubt Barb can even easily get up, much less climb onto Chris.

Have you ever tried fighting off an enraged ?

What is with Chris's extreme irrational hatred of pickles, to the point of him blaming "The Man in the Pickle Suit" every time he was tricked or conned? Is it because the shape of a pickle reminds him of a man's dong, something he's supposedly afraid of, or is it just some food that Chris doesn't like?

Yes, to the first and third scenarios. He dislikes anything phallic (save for his dildo), and it's theorized the brininess of pickles might be a little too much for Chris's unremarkable, incurious palette.

A (rigged) date he was on was literally crashed by a "man in a pickle suit" (see also: Marvin). You're likely spot-on with the phallic reference, which is why trolls opted to push the envelope further by having someone dressed as one show up. Chris associates the pickle suit with the trolls, so he believes a literal "man wearing a novelty pickle costume" to be someone lurking about in his life messing up plans and snaring him in traps.

Despite his hatred of pickles, I remember reading a one-off thread on one of the older incarnations of this board where the OP pointed out that Chris has a "Super Pickle" doll hanging from the ceiling light in his bedroom, visible in many of his photos. (http://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:0775-CWCCDPose.JPG The doll is above his head to the right. It's pictured better in other photos but I can't find any right away.)

I've told Marvin this before but the Pickle Suit thing was pure geinus. It was just too surreal and one of those things you can't believe really happened until you watch the video of it. Chris admitting he almost shit his pants during the encounter just adds to the hilarity.

Ah okay, well my selectivity info was about A&M at College Station, and while I'm not familiar with Texas A&M at Corpus Christi I do know that the Texas A&M system is good in general and is composed of modern universities.

And, funny enough, my comment about hating A&M and its culture only applies to College Station as well and mostly relates to its Corps.

 

[JeffGoldblumIRL]

I avoided A&M College Station specifically to avoid all those "bros" who think they can ride their "I peaked in high school PS I'm going to drop out before finishing my core classes" train everywhere. :arrow:

Yes. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/crash (Definition 16a.)

Chris was on a date, this date was crashed by a person dressed in a novelty costume that happened to be a pickle.

I can't even imagine a world where Chris would actually be straight.

There's a woman at my temp job that looks exactly like Barb. It's unsettling.

I wonder how Chris feels about playing as a man in his video games.

There's Sonic, sure, but you play as a guy in Resident Evil, don't you? And in God of War the character you control is almost nude, and he's super ripped. Isn't it gross to look at those UGLY JERKS for hours on end? Does he play as a girl in Pokémon considering ALLL MALES SHOULD JUMP OF A CLIFF?

i think that since he views it as an avatar for himself it is alright. like he made himself in the new pokemons game but is only collecting girl pokemons.

Is it true he only catches the girl ones?

No, he's catching some male ones. Not often though and I think he's bending the rules so he can catch more females.

 

[CatParty]

he's using the girls pokemons and boxing up the guy pokemons? i believe that is what i read. i may be wrong though
