Tweet 3/21 - Asking for gas money for cross-country trip

The thing is if he did get the money he would blow it on lego and then realize he needed it for the trip so he begs for more.

 

what if someone sent him plane or bus tickets instead of cash?

 

Either they'll be added to the hoard or he tries to sell them for more lego money.

 

He would probably have a lot of fun and add a plane character to the CWCville universe, or he would try and refund them for $$$, just like he did with the bananas.

 

Or shit himself and spend the money on shit he doesn't need, as usual

 

Chris would probably want Barb to come along.

 

I'm not sure it's even crossed Chris' mind that he could fly there. Remember, he's been on an airplane once, when he was seven. So almost thirty years ago. Plus it's likely that he completely misunderstands how much distance he'd have to cover on a cross-country road trip and equates it to driving to Ohio.

I also doubt he's aware that services like Greyhound exist. He leaves Virginia maybe once a decade so there's no need for him to research travel options.

Scenario 2 and 3 would be epic. If only he wasn't shit with money...

 

Chris couldn't make it to Cleveland without locking himself out of his car. I seriously doubt he'd make it through the Rockies alive.

 

And even if he didn't die and given how slow Chris drives, could California even be reached in time?

 

Driving Halfway across the country from Virginia took too goddamn long, driving all the way from coast to coast would take forever.

 

Did about a minute of googling and found out that the largest MLP convention is in Baltimore Maryland in August. If Chris waited until then he could go for less than half the cost including the price of a ticket. He also wouldn't have to work a job that he lacks the self restraint to do and wouldn't have to leave his mother alone for weeks to drive across the country.

Chris being Chris though he sees something he thinks is a deal and he wants it even when its the more expensive option.

 

I'm not sure he would. He spoons with her at home, I don't think he wants to do that in a hotel room. I don't think Barb would want to go to a con for cartoon horses aimed at 4 year olds, and we don't want her coming along because she would likely keep chris from flipping his batshit switch.

 

Chris would probably enjoy being away from Barb for a bit, although he would probably have to call her a lot, and would maybe worry about her.

 

I dunno, I live in Baltimore and it's way too trashy for Chr--

...actually, he'd be perfect for Bronycon.

 

Chris puts the "Ego" in "Lego"

 

I think chris does not want to drive cross country, I think he wants someone to take care of all the planning, pay for everything and pat him on the head for showing up and laud his presence at the con like he was Kim Jong Un.

Then again he might just think the drive can be done in a few hours with time for a nap or two.

 

Holy shit, keep that creep the fuck away from california pls.

 

Which one, chris or Kim Jong Un?

Fun fact: Kim Jong Un's nickname in china is fatty the third.

 

The more I think about Chris going on this trip the more batshit insane I realize it is.

He's only asking for gas money, but gas is far from the only expense he'd face on this pilgrimage. There's food, lodgings, and of course extra spending money because you know he's going to want to buy shit at the con. And even if he volunteers and gets into the con for free he still has to rent a room while he's there, probably by himself because who the fuck would room with Chris at this point? At the very least Chris needs $1k on hand for this adventure. Even if he managed to save up enough cash to afford the trip he's a compulsive spender. I wouldn't be surprised if - provided he got to California in one piece - Chris spent the rest of his trip money in the "market" (or whatever they call it). If not all of it, then enough to ensure that he won't make it back to Virginia.

But there's no way in hell that Chris would even make it to California if he has to drive across the entire continental United States. Driving long hours in the car is exhausting, and people with greater endurance and mental faculties than Chris rarely take such extensive road trips by themselves. Even though most of the dangers of traveling across the US have been eliminated in this day and age, there's still the potential for bad shit to happen. If Chris gets in trouble on some lonely stretch of highway in the Rockies with no cell phone reception then he's fucked.
