Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[Dr. Tremolo]

Do we have any CADD material Chris produced? Or any notes made by him in PVCC? I'm only aware of his invaluable Manchester High folders

That's far older than any of the high school leaks, there's his (in)famous CWCville Mall project he took so much pride in (which is one of the best things he's ever made, but still with bizarre scale).

Thanks a bunch, just looked at the project.
First it looks interesting, then you notice that the proportions are off, tiny and gigantic stores, useless hallways, missing stairwells, some businesses have multiple premises on different floors, so the 2nd floor looks like an edited copy of the 1st floor

More evidence that Chris is partaking in the weed. He's posted several pro-pot comics in the past few months. Given how literalistic he is, brownies are probably exactly how he's doing it. Easiest way to persuade him, easiest way to hide it from Barb. Maybe this helps explain his excellent mood since April.

Now, would you enlighten me about that "black tape"?

After Bob Chandler died, Chris had a Skype conversation with one of his galpals where he cried about Bob's death.

oh i hope so. the only better thing would be the revelation that he's been taking ecstasy

After listening to the Father Call on my trip home, was "Matthew" on a script or did he just wing it?

maybe he's posting drug stuff because it makes him look more adult
kind of like why he goes to clubs, wants to trib (amongst other reasons), and drank once (SONICHU IS STILL RACIN THROUGH MY MIND)
or to make him look more relaxed and open.

I had a dream last night that @Marvin wrote a book about Chris

Winged it. Though (and I don't remember specifically with this call, but in general) our format for calls was that we streamed the calls into mumble in real time. A group of us would listen in. The person talking would generally improvise while taking suggestions from the rest of the group in chat.

Edit:

A Life of Brine, by Marvin

Now, would you enlighten me about that "black tape"?

As far as I'm aware it's a recording of a phone call where Chris is completely distraught over the death of his father, openly weeps, cries out and generally exhibits all the symptoms of intense grief. There is no humor or lulz in it, just a sad, scared, broken young man pouring his heart out to the only person willing to listen. The fact that it won't ever see the light of day is a positive thing because anybody who took any joy in it would be many degrees more terrible than Chris ever has been. It's a stark reminder that we revel in Chris' antics, but we aren't out to truly hurt him.

Will Chris live to be 40?

Yes

 

[Barley]

Will Chris live to be 40?

If he's lucky, he will indeed live to his 40's, but Chris deteriorated so freaking much in only 10 years that by the time he's finally 40, it's gonna be a bit depressing to see.

I predict he'll be in a shape so bad it'll kill him or, after he got "wronged" for the billionth time, commit suicide (likely while wearing a medallion of fail).

A Life of Brine, by Marvin

It wasn't really a book about Chris so much as it was clearing up misconceptions about Chris and trolls/trolling. So basically, what you do on the forums most of the time, except in book form. It was like a bestseller too even though the target audience was comparatively tiny and it was just "by Marvin" without even a last name or anything

Isn't it sad when your childhood heroes let themselves go....
Actually I think Chris has an almost normal life expectancy. His diet is shit, but he isn't morbidly obese. He seems to have a doctor check him regularly, hence the atorvastatin. Plenty of people have high LDL or high LDL/HDL ratio.
Maybe we can deduce from the information that he took Lipitor (and only Lipitor) that he didn't have diabetes or insulin resistance, because his doctor would be very quick to prescribe metformin.

I think any decrease in his lifespan that isn't due to his slight obesity is because of the somewhat increased likelihood that he will do something fatally stupid.

It's possible I suppose. But Chris has a natural timidity as well. We know he often shrinks from confrontation and drives very cautiously.

I am not sure if he is in serious physical danger any more than your average guy. Not a lot more anyway.

His life expectancy can't be that much below average.

The problem is the long term consequences of Chris' lifestyle. He eats awfully and does virtually no exercise. He'll probably be fine up until he's forty, but after that his chances of heart disease and diabetes starts to creep up. Chris had claimed to stop taking his statin back in 2009. I have no idea what his health cover's like, but if he had a choice between a tablet with invisible benefits or legos, I think his choice is obvious.

Considering Bob had a lot of heart trouble and his youth was arguably healthier than Chris', I don't think it bodes too well long term. He's probably about 5'10 and between 220 and 250 pounds. That makes him anywhere between very overweight and rather obese. He doesn't really have much lean muscle mass, so BMI probably doesn't do him justice.
