The '''monthly tugboat''' is [[Chris]]'s [[CWC-isms|euphemism]] for his {{w|Social Security Disability Insurance}} (SSDI) payment, which is deposited into his bank account via direct deposit on or about the 3rd of each month. SSDI is part of a U.S. taxpayer-supported program to support financially those whose physical injures or [[Slow-in-the-minds|mental ailments]] prevent them from performing even minimum-wage work. Chris is known to have belonged to this system since at least [[2007]], before he was [[Chris in the media#Something Awful|discovered]] by the [[Chris and the Internet|Internet]].
The '''SingStar Challenge''' was a video competition phase of the [[CWCivil War]], initiated by [[Solid Chris]]. Previously, Solid (posting under the YouTube handle [[IBAChandler]]) had attempted to reestablish his TRUE and HONEST identity with videos showcasing his multiple talents.

This included playing ''[[CWC More Than A Feeling#Response|More Than a Feeling]]'' on a real [[guitar]], shaming Solid's [[CWC More Than A Feeling|''Guitar Hero'' rendition]].

Contrary to popular belief, Chris's check is not need-based, but is awarded on eligibility alone. Most US Americans have to work a decade to qualify. Chris, on the other hand, has only been employed for six months (three at [[Wendy's]], three in a [[Cutco|pyramid scheme]]). However, [[Bob Chandler|Bob]] earned retirement insurance in his years at General Electric, and Social Security also lets retirees' dependent disabled children get payments, even if they have never worked themselves, so long as they were disabled before turning 22.

The SingStar Challenge was a video competition phase of the CWCivil War, initiated by Solid Chris. Previously, Solid (posting under the YouTube handle IBAChandler) had attempted to reestablish his TRUE and HONEST identity with videos showcasing his multiple talents. This cunning plan backfired miserably, as Liquid Chris (posting as CChanSonichuCWC) outdid Solid's talents in his own videos. This included playing More Than a Feeling on a real guitar, shaming Solid's Guitar Hero rendition. Butthurt that Liquid had an actual talent, Solid recognized that the clear solution was to formalize the contest, thus eliminating such dirty tricks.

The challenge would have a unique legacy among Christory, as it cemented the popular image of Liquid Chris as a relatively "harmless" troll in the eyes of many fans who look at the Classic Era with rose-tinted glasses. Years later, fans would recreate the story of the challenge as a mod to the ever-popular online rhythm game Friday Night Funkin'. Chris would eventually create his own spiritual successor after his extended stint in jail, challenging the vocals of an artificial intelligence version of his voice that could sing popular songs instead of Liquid Chris.
