Christ, that box is like all the tacky faux-Sixties furniture in the world exploded on a Barbie doll.

@skyraider91 made a post in another thread to the effect that Barb is such a toxic person that she repels everyone out of her life except her dependent son. I would assume, then, that she has no friends.

Has Chris has ever noticed that she doesn't have any gal-pals, and wondered why? Because he's always talking about how kind and caring, etc. his mother is.

The best way to begin to interpret the world around you like OPL is to pretend you only had bad 80s and 90s American sitcoms and cartoons when you were growing up to reference for social cues, interpersonal relationships and family dynamics. The "grown-ups" usually just hung around the house, waiting patiently to dispense little catch phrases, nuggets of wisdom and rousing speeches whenever the leads returned from some silly suburban adventure.

We don't know if Barb ever had friends, or if she cut ties when she stopped drinking or retired, but either way she fits neatly into this sitcom stereotype, just without the love, warmth, advice, and catch phrases.

Too Many Cooks is probably a great approximation of what it's like to live in Chris's head.

Jesus guys, I need to stop reading articles late at night. I actually had what may very well be considered a nightmare regarding CWC. (:_(

I don't think Chris watched anything that didn't have a young protagonist he could identify with. Everything needed his own personal Mary-Sue or Wesley Crusher, and godbearemanueljesus help you if you were to do something like, say, years later, change the arm color of one of these stand-ins.

I wonder what CWC's obituary will read after his passing. Or if the HONEST & TRUE fans will commission a statue in his.. erm, "honor". :sonichu:

"Local man found dead at home".
I guarantee you none of Chris's next of kin will pay for an obituary -and to be fair, none of them know him well enough to say much about him, anyway.

It would also be hard to write an obituary that didn't seem like you were mocking him.

"Christian Weston Chandler: Feb 24, 1982 - X Y, 20XX. Taken from us too soon, Christian was always young at heart. He is survived by half-brothers Cole Smithey and David Chandler, half-sister Carol Chandler, and their families."

No accomplishments, sure, but nothing actually insulting.

Personally, I say someone should intercept the newspaper's request for an obit from the family and make one for "Ian Brandon Anderson", stating how he could never live up to the legacy of the real CWC. And then you go on for five pages about how Liquid was a better person.

Finally giving "A Week With Christian Chandler" a full read--who is the photographer who took all these pictures of Chris at school and such?
 
I think if he keeps up his behavior the JERKS will make a pill zombie out of him before he's a drunk.

That's a good question. I think it was supposed to be a photography assignment, but several photos have him in them. Unless there was a tripod, its just another assignment Chris screwed up on ... yuk!

That's hilarious. I ask because some of these photos are absolute Chris classics. For example, this lunchroom snapshot:

415-CWCWeekP9_crop_2.jpg


says so much about high school Chris and the relationship he had with his gal pals. I got to wondering if we know who was behind the camera or if we have a stealth photojournalist Christorian on our hands.
