Wow, there are SO many things in that video that would unleash a shitstorm in the media today...most notable being "Don't throw us away"Marvin said:[youtube]2mClfU2NStY[/youtube]

It's the dreaded "r" word!
Anyway, I was browsing the Amy and Samy thread in the General Lolcow section and when I saw Holdek's post about a hoarder's house catching fire (more like exploding) in Mesa, AZ I immediately thought of our favorite mommy Snorlax and her speshul Munchlax snowflake and how this could be a possible future for them if Mama Snorlax keeps being a naughty one and refuses to let go of her trash.
Here's the link that Holdek posted over there:

If anythings going to cause trouble for him it'll some sort of unexpected situation or hidden cost.
He might try to clean up parts of the hoard, but ultimately, he'd probably just go back to his room after Barb is gone.TheIncredibleLioness said:I'm curious as to whether or not Chris will attempt (key word being attempt) to clean up Barb's hoard after she's gone. I know that would give him DA STRESS, but he's complained about Barb's hoarding tendencies in the past; the only thing stopping him and Bob was the fact that Barb bitched when they attempted to throw anything out. With her out of the picture, would he try to get rid of some of the stuff, or would the task be too much for him?

I've said this a million times, I'm sure, but Chris can lie to himself about a lot of things, but physical realities are a lot harder for him to lie to himself about. At the end of the day, no matter how hard he tries, Chris can't lie his ps3 into working without electricity. He knows that, we all know that. The electricity bill will be paid. I worry about things that Chris might not know about on his own, like property taxes and things like that. Though if the county sends him a bill in the mail, he might pay it.

People base opinions like these on incomplete information. Chris really doesn't like the attention.Chanbob said:I think it'll just be the same old, rinse repeat existence as always, like others have said.
However, I think that as he's become increasingly bitter and twisted (especially with all this MLP Facebook nonsense) that he'll eventually draw enough attention to himself to be covered more in mainstream media...and I think that's exactly what he wants. He's cut himself off from being the centre of attention all the time, and part of me thinks he misses it; it made him feel like a big boy, being asked after, challenged, demanded of by what he perceived to be hundreds of people or important people...it made him feel like someone of value himself, superior. He claims to want to be left alone, but in a sense I think he revels in the attention. It's only a matter of time before more videos go up, I think.
When Barb dies, I really have no idea what will happen to him. Only time will tell.
Uhh, maybe? Barb would do things like that, but I don't know if she'd do it because she's trying to help Chris survive after she's gone. She'd do it because of some convenience she'd gain by doing it. Beats me though.Anchuent Christory said:Marvin said:This.Anchuent Christory said:I get the feeling that Chris may surprise some people when it comes to bill paying.

I seem to recall that he once stated that one of reasons he won't change his number is because the bills are paid through him now. I can't remember where I read it but I'm fairly sure it was an email exchange with a gal-pal. Do you think it's possible that in an unexpected act of common sense, Barb has transferred the duties to him in an attempt to prepare him for life when she's gone?
Eh, nah, the hoard bothers Chris. He tolerates it because his mother forces him to. I don't think he'd attach any sort of emotional meaning to it after Barb died.Anchuent Christory said:Marvin said:He might try to clean up parts of the hoard, but ultimately, he'd probably just go back to his room after Barb is gone.
Do you think he'd even try to sell some stuff online, or would it be like his toys and he'd feel too attached to it? I know most of it'll be worthless thrift store shite, but surely stuff like Bob's record collection will still exist somewhere.
If she truly cared about life after she's gone she probably wouldn't be hoarding Chris like one of her possessions, but that's just my opinion.Marvin said:Uhh, maybe?

DevilDog said:My theory is that Borb will expire in the next 3 years, and probably on the sooner side of that time. At which point we have two futures for Chris.
A:The unlikely, he finds himself all alone, away from the parents that sheltered him...and after a painful realization that life must be managed and not simply shoved onto a shelf in a blu-ray case, he starts to grow up.
B:After Borb's demise he rescinds even deeper into his room, thus achieving his own form of transcendence:Full immersion in a personless world in which he can feel all the self-pity he desires. He spends the rest of his days on vidya until he finally succumbs to the Great Slumber.
I've been involved with Chris trolling for awhile. Alec and I have kind of a different perspective because we've partook of a lot more Chris content than the general public. Probably a few times as much? Pre Bob's death, Chris was pretty much as you'd expect him to be. There are a few things Chris did back then that might be surprising, but generally, he was typical Chris.Chanbob said:Marvin said:People base opinions like these on incomplete information.

Do you know Chris personally then? I've been off the forum for about a year now, so I've kinda lost track of who's who.
If he doesn't like the attention, then I can't understand what the 'calling outs' and the personal stabs are for. Surely he's aware that this kind of behaviour garners the kind of attention he apparently hates, right? Outright trolling, I can imagine he doesn't miss, of course, but what he perceived to be positive attention I'd think he does miss a great deal. It just seems to make sense to me, after all he is gradually cutting off all of the people and places out of his life that got him the least arse-pats and adoration; the Place and his church, for example. I doubt he went back to that young adult's club after the Wallflower fiasco either. I think he's gone/going off Rocky too, as he's realised that he can't have sex with her or convince her to help him get sex or friends. He's running out of people who will tolerate him, so I think he will eventually come back online.
