Fuzzy-Wuzzies & Prickly-Wicklies

The dimensional merge is upon us! It has been suggested that this article be merged with Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE. Discuss on the talk page. |
| “ | War is never the answer; peace is. Never fight. Compliments will get you fuzzy-wuzzies. War gets you prickly-wicklies... as well as punches. They get you those, too. Thank you very much, and have a wonderful day. | ” |

The terms "Fuzzy-Wuzzies" and "Prickly-Wicklies" were some of Chris' autistic ways to refer to the consequences of being friendly with people vs. fighting with them. Chris had used these two phrases at the end of his FUTURE MESSAGE.
Fuzzy-Wuzzies
According to Chris, Fuzzy-Wuzzies are the reward for paying people compliments. The benefits of gaining fuzzy-wuzzies are unclear, although there is surely someone out there who can describe the consequences of paying Chris a compliment. In any event, fuzzy-wuzzies are surely preferable to the noxious prickly-wicklies.
Chris is probably unaware that "fuzzy-wuzzy" is also a racist term for the Hadendoa people.
Prickly-Wicklies
Prickly-Wicklies, on the other hand, are the undesirable end result messing with Chris. Although doubtlessly making perfect sense to him, Chris fails to elaborate on the consequences of this forfeit. Prickly-wicklies could therefore constitute anything from scorn for engaging in combat, to painful, prolonged death in a mustard-gas clouded barrack. Prickly-wicklies are also known to give people slugs, as opposed to their antithesis, fuzzy-wuzzies, which give people hugs.
It should be noted that Chris couldn't follow his own advice and declared war numerous times, such as in the War Paint Video. He must be swimming in prickly-wicklies by now.

- In his Future Message, Chris ends the video with the segment quoted above. Being that the video was one of Chris's earliest, it at the time only served to confuse the trolls who had only just discovered a new autistic manchild, and it foreshadowed Chris's later tendency to make up words and assume that other people understood what he meant.
- In Sub-Episode 1 of Sonichu #0, just after Chris is nearly shot by Jerkhief, Chris has a line making reference to Fuzzy-Wuzzies and Prickly-Wicklies, and talking about slugs (Specifically- "Fuzzy-Wuzzies get you hugs, Prickly-Wicklies get you slugs"/[1] This was immediately followed by Chris destroying the man's home life. So giving people Prickly-Wicklies is OK if it's in revenge. However, Chris says he received a slug from the Jerkop, which called for his Curse Ye Ha Me Ha attack, implying that Chris had dealt a Prickly-Wickly in order to get the slug.
Possible origin
These terms are likely to have been derived from "A Warm Fuzzy Tale", a story written by Claude Steiner, a clinical psychologist professor.[2] His book refers to acts of kindness as 'Warm Fuzzies', and unkind actions as 'Cold Pricklies'. Chris might have read the book (or had the book read to him) in Manchester High School, as evidenced by a 'Warm Fuzzies' classroom activity he took part in.[3] Given Chris's penchant for not-so-subtly paraphrasing existing works, it's not impossible that 'Fuzzy-Wuzzies' and 'Prickly-Wicklies' are CWC-style deformations of 'Warm Fuzzies' and 'Cold Pricklies'.
